The Best Layering Tee For Transitioning Your Wardrobe Into Spring Is Only $11
April 13, 2018 by Brianna Peters
There’s nothing more exciting than being able to shed your layers of clothes while the weather begins to heat up. Unfortunately, we have to get through the in-between months of April and May to get there. Even only two weeks into April, it’s proven to be one of the coldest Aprils we’ve had in the past few years. When dressing for the in-between, the way to outsmart this weather is to layer. While everyone knows what layering is, it seems few know actually how to do it. The key to layering like a street style star is to know what the best layering tees are. The best part? We found the ultimate lightweight layering t-shirt in heather gray for so cheap.

The key to layering lies within what pieces you’re layering. When you’re looking for the perfect layering tee to go underneath a sweater or jacket, length is a key factor. The layering top should be thin and longer in length so that it peekaboos out from under the sweater or jacket. This layering tee from Nordstrom is not only extremely lightweight, but it’s under $15 which makes it a steal. I’ve personally worn the black/white striped tee underneath a chunky knit as well as my leather jacket and found it to be extremely comfortable and easy to throw on. Want it in a different color? It’s also available in other colors as well as stripes for under $20. It also has over 1700 positive reviews at Nordstrom if you don’t believe me.
Here are some quick rules of thumb when it comes to looking for the best layering tees:
1. Know what pieces you’re going to be layering2. Pay attention to the necklines of the layering pieces3. Make sure your layering tee is made of thin material4. Use graphic tees for individuality5. Mix and match textures and colorsHowever, layering isn’t particular to just jackets and sweaters. If you’re looking to try a t-shirt under a maxi dress, you need to choose a form-fitting top so you don’t get unwanted frumpy rolls underneath the dress. You’re also going to want to balance out the length of the maxi dress with a short sleeved layering tee in the spring. Also, pay particular attention to the necklines of your pieces. If you have a deep-v maxi dress or a low cut neckline, try a turtleneck, scope neck or crew neck tee.
