layered clothing

Outfit with tiers

Layered clothing is the practice of wearing multiple garments on top of each other, typically for warmth or versatility.

The strategy allows adjustment to changing temperatures by adding or removing layers: I wore layered clothing for the hike since mornings are cold but afternoons warm up.

Fashion also embraces layering for visual effect rather than function.
