"Layering, the pinnacle of these fundamentals, changes the way you get dressed. At its core, it's about matching your fabrics to their form, outside to inside. For an outdoorsy, military-style approach that means a wind- and rain-blocking shell on the outside, a fleece or puffer mid-layer for insulation, and a sweat-wicking baselayer. But in terms of fashion, it's mixing and matching fabrics, textures, and colors."

For basic white and colored tees, Buck Mason and CDLP will take you a long way. On the more affordable end, Gap makes an excellent pocket tee that comes in some classic blacks, browns, and blues."

Buttoned overshirts can be worn partially unbuttoned as shackets in moderate heat.
