The definition of a flattering silhouette keeps changing with every season. At the moment, the one detail that has the power to make or break your outfit is the presence of tiers.
The layering and tiering of fabric in your ensemble is not only flattering but versatile enough to match a number of aesthetics—from cottagecore and casual to Indian wear and party dressing.
Stock up on these gorgeous tiered pieces that are flattering and flirty!
Single tiered dress
Add some oomph to an off-shoulder neckline with some gorgeous prints and a flattering tier, and you’ve got yourself a perfect holiday dress or a great brunch attire. The inverted V hem on the tier adds some shape and flow to the dress while the off-shoulder gives you the opportunity to flaunt OTT accessories like shoulder dusters or even a layered necklace. Enhance the boho vibe with gladiator sandals and you’re good to go!
Jacket
Wearing a tiered jacket is one of the simplest and most efficient ways of adding texture and volume to your outfit. This voluminous white silk organza jacket uses the texture of ruffles and amalgamates it into a tiered design. The contrasting sleeves help balance the proportions of the jacket and make it the perfect piece to layer on.
Short layered dress
This playful and flirty piece is a must-have this season. The colour is subtle while the tiers create a great silhouette to twirl in, for all your Instagram boomerangs!

Skirt
In the mood to glam up? What could be better than a black satin skirt with a thigh-high slit?
