The Art of Knit Layering

Layering isn't really about thickness — it's about texture. Stack a smooth silk knit under a rougher wool one, even in the same shade of cream, and the outfit stops being flat. It becomes something closer to a sculpture.

The safest combination is a thin turtleneck under a crewneck sweater. Let a sliver of the lining color show at the collar, and roll the sleeves back to expose the wrist so the whole thing breathes.

MAPSI's tip: let the layers get gradually darker (or lighter) as you move up the body. A slight directional shift in tone reads as intentional, not accidental — and it photographs far better on a gray Seoul afternoon.
