Until a couple of years ago, layering your clothes was something you did when the weather was chilly or changeable, and you needed to be able to easily add or subtract clothing items to adjust to the temperature. 
When did the layered look become a fashion statement?
My daughter and her friends go around wearing two or even three tops. After observing them as they've followed this trend all summer, I think I've come up with a key to the rules they follow:
- Don't be afraid to wear as many tops as you can possibly put on without making yourself look fat.
- The tighter the tops you wear, the more you can add without making yourself look fat.
- You get extra points if you pair up a "racerback" tank with a spaghetti-strap tank, so you can see straps all over the place.
- You get more extra points if your bra straps show among all the other straps, and bonus points if you're wearing a brightly-colored bra that doesn't match any of your tops.
In summer, when most people were subtracting layers, these girls added more tank tops all the time. But they weren't worried about being too hot; they were more worried about looking hot.
