The Five Commandments of Layering. We’re just a few days away from September, which means it’s time to brush up on one of the most intricate, subtle skills in menswear: layering. So we’ve distilled a lifetime of layering wisdom into five simple edicts, laid out after the jump. Defy them at your peril… I: Honor the Season It’s not just about warmth. A khaki blazer is as summery as jackets get, so even if you bulk it up with a scarf and a sweater, it’s going to look a little weird once November rolls around. It’s not an exact science—an army field jacket gets a pass all year, even though it isn’t much warmer—but if it’s made of linen or looks like you bought it in Newport, you might want to give it a pass.

II: Remember Your Fabrics Naturally, you want your layers light enough to keep you from looking like the Michelin man, but it also matters what order they go in. The rule here is to go from soft on the inside to rugged on the outside. V: Honor the Shacket It speaks for itself. — Russell Brandom. Kempt - world of men's style / fashion / grooming. GANT - Home.
