The Formula to Fashion

Posted on November 5, 2020November 14, 2020 by Gwen

What if we had a simple process that we could use to pick out a perfect outfit? It would be a lifesaver! Almost everyone has experienced the hassle of trying to find a great outfit every morning. The worst part is, we’re usually never satisfied with the ending result. Here is a formula that will help you put together a fashionable outfit!

Basic Piece  + Interesting Piece    + Necessary Items   + Accessories = Fashionable outfit!


The Basic Piece 

The first thing you need  to begin the process of throwing an outfit together is a basic piece. This includes a white/black shirt, or plain denim. Think of the basic piece as a plain cake, without it the decorations and frosting would fall off! 

Example piece: White T-Shirt

The Interesting Piece

This piece allows you to make the outfit relevant to your style! This can include anything with texture, pattern, or any design that stands out.

Example piece: Plaid Skirt

Necessary Items

This is an important step because while you know you need shoes or a purse to walk out in public, you need to pick out ones that go well with the rest of your outfit! For the shoes it depends on whether you’re planning on wearing heels, boots, sandals, or sneakers. The best way to play it safe is to pick an item that doesn’t have a bold design that could possibly clash with your interesting piece.

Example Items: Leather hand bag and black lace up heels

Accessories

Last but not least, accessories! These can include glasses, jewelry, watches, belts, scarves, sweaters, hats, etc. One or two accessories can make the difference between a good and a great outfit! 

Here are some tips when using jewelry:

  • Try not to wear too much jewelry in the same area. For example, don’t wear bracelets and rings on the same arm.
  • If jewelry is a metal try not to wear more than one type of metal unless it’s incorporated in the same piece of jewelry.
  • Match your jewelry with your outfit.
  • Most importantly make sure that you’re confident and have fun with it!

Final Result!

After looking at all the key elements of an outfit, we can now look at some examples!

    Wow, I definitely love that last outfit! Now I’m wondering if I can somehow match it. Gotta go, I’m about to raid my closet.
