Explain CSS Cascade Layers (@layer).

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Short answer

Cascade layers give developers direct control over the CSS cascade order, regardless of specificity or DOM order.

Deep explanation

By defining layers (e.g., reset, base, theme, utilities), you explicitly dictate which styles override others. A style in a higher layer will ALWAYS override a style in a lower layer, even if the lower layer has a higher specificity (like an ID).
