A layering piece is an article of clothing that can be worn on its own or as a base layer to provide warmth, insulation and coverage. It typically refers to a garment such as a sweater, jacket or coat that can be added or removed according to the weather conditions or personal comfort level. The term "layering piece" is often used in fashion and style guides to describe clothing items that are versatile enough to be worn alone or combined with other layers for different looks and occasions.
