Lori says that you need at least three layers to look stylish! Also, that there are no wrong colors together. And she loves that long long chiffon tail hanging out the back of all of it. The models seem to love it. Michelle, the cute model, looks terrific with her long legs in black tights and the long black TSV with no layers. But, unfortunately, everyone is not built like Michelle....

JMHO, but she's not one to define "stylish"; at least most of the time.

Wonder how successful she would be had the "high/low" design not become popular.

They were around well before Lori came to QVC with them. The current trend appeared to start in Europe several years ago. I use imported patterns and have several pieces I made from patterns from France and Germany.

Interesting... thanks.

Re: What's up with all these layers

This style has been around for awhile but it's never been as popular during my lifetime as it is now.

Now it seems every line out there has these designs and they are all starting to look the same.

Lori said that she has been wearing the look "all her life, even as a little girl." So, it must have been around. For a designer, I would hope Lori could expand a little, otherwise, she's gonna look like a one-trick pony!

I think designers all have a particular "look" that they are identified with. I happen to like much of what Lori does. Lots of other designers out there if you want something different.

Not much of a designer if she only has one idea! Everybody know that there are numerous designers t select from.

Its not the layering that bothers me......sometimes layering can look cute.......however, its the sloppy, hanging, dangling, unflattering LOGO clothes that make women look unkempt and that they don't care what they look like.....its one thing to want to be comfortable, but another thing if that means you look sloppy!!! Sorry to all you LOGO lovers out there, its not just that I don't like LOGO designs{#emotions_dlg.blush}, have someone take a photo of you in these LOGO clothes and look at it....

AMEN! Its amazing that the designer of this brand is able to convince women that they look good wearing several long, unflattering, crooked hemmed shirts all at once, and then charge almost $50.00 for a garment that is nothing more than t-shirt material. I agree...take a picture (back and front) of yourself in the LOGO clothes and really look at it.

Re: What's up with all these layers

If Lori G. were to wear slim jeans, boots, with a structured or even unstructured blazer, I guarantee she would look 10000% better (and really cute) than she does in her designs. The material of her tops is just awful on her. It is clingy and shows her back fat as well as hanging up on her hips and behind. Since she is built more like the rest of us, I would imagine her clothes do not flatter the rest of us.

Re: What's up with all these layers

Layer 2 tops is OK. But when you start doing 3 or more it just looks goofy - and yes - sloppy. And really, who wants to wear that many? That just seems like it would be uncomfortable and you'd constantly be tugging and rearranging everything. No thanks. I want no fuss clothing.

Re: What's up with all these layers

I have worn layers for years. Lightweight layers. I like the look. With the purchase of the skinny tee, I might have on as many as 3 layers at a time. I have my hot moments too, and that's why sweaters aren't part of my layering.

Re: What's up with all these layers

I never liked to layer - just adds bulk to your body and is a hassle to put it all on

I've layered my clothes for years - it's a look that I like and works for me.

I wore LOGO to church yesterday also ... over a close fitting turtleneck and lustra knit pants. Black/gray/white print LOGO over black top and pants (black ankle boots) and a looooong textured black scarf. Temp was in the 40s and rainy .... it was all topped off with a very bright yellow slicker!

I'm in my 70s ... and that's my look!

That sounds very pretty. I like the pop of color with the yellow slicker.
