Effortlessly pulling off a perfectly layered look can be a daunting task with several factors to consider. The key lies in striking the right balance between the oversized pieces, their length, and comfort level to be able to function throughout the day. Yet, the internet has come to the rescue; mastering the art of creating a flawlessly layered ensemble has become an attainable feat — that's where this Amazon hack comes in.

Syhood’s button-down shirt extender is an artful solution to layering without needing a whole button-down shirt. Essentially just the bottom half of a button-down shirt, it can be worn around your waist like a skirt to eliminate any weird bunching under your sweatshirt or sweater while offering that same collegiate style.

The skirted button-down extension comes in a two-pack in essential colors such as white, black, gray, and light blue. The lower sweep has faux buttons down the front to give that authentic button-down feel, plus an adjustable elastic waist that comes in sizes small through 3XL to allow for a comfortable fit. The lightweight chiffon fabric prevents you from overheating while looking bundled in layers.

The Amazon shirttail has picked up traction seemingly overnight, growing in sales by over 22,200 percent, according to Amazon's movers and shakers chart — and it’s no surprise, considering fake collars are such a popular alternative to this same problem. One 56-year-old reviewer raved, "These fit great and are the perfect size to add length to short sweaters…. If you like something longer and you want to expand your wardrobe options, this is your answer!" Another reviewer stated, "This is the greatest idea. I no longer have to keep tugging at the bottom of my sweater."

Shoppers also love the versatility of this piece, being able to dress it up to the office and more casually out on the town. “I can easily see them as a beach cover-up over bikinis and swimsuits, worn as a mini-skirt in spring, or used as a shirt extender under a cropped T-shirt or sweater during cooler weather,” voiced another five-star reviewer.

You no longer have to commit to the discomfort of a full button-down  in the name of fashion. Instead, you can opt for a set of two button-down shirt extenders for just $20 at Amazon.
