How to Layer Without Adding Bulk
Fine layers are the way to go as not only do they not end up making you feel chunky, but also, you can remove a layer easily if start getting too hot.
Layering is about Options and Adding Interest to Your Outfit

Layering with a collar adds interest but not lots of extra warmth.
You can layer a hero, and it can be a very lightweight so can be worn in summer.

Play with colours in your layers for interest and contrast.
Sometimes if you have a pattern but you feel it’s too much, add a solid layer over the top to tone it down.
