The Rule of Three
Sometimes, dressing down proves more difficult than any other style situation. Sure, work and formal occasions can be tricky too, but it’s that gray area in-between that can really throw you for a sartorial loop.
When choosing an ensemble for a casual weekend or evening, you want to maintain a laid-back vibe while still looking polished. This is where the rule of three comes in handy. What exactly IS the rule of three? Simply put, it means dressing with three items of clothing in mind.
While two items is enough to create an outfit, the third piece adds that much needed finish, pulling everything together into one cohesive, chic look.
For example:
A pair of jeans and a simple top is just ho-hum, unless you layer on a sharp blazer. This takes you from couch-ready to on-the-town appropriate with total ease.
Or…
A casual dress and cardigan can seem matronly by themselves. Add that third element—a strong necklace, scarf, or a skinny belt on the outside—to truly elevate the look.
Shoes can also play into the rule of three. If your standard button-down and trousers combo needs some oomph, a boldly colored shoe can do the trick brilliantly.
Next time you’re frantically searching your closet for something to wear out, remember the rule of three for a hassle-free way of using what you own. Whether it’s a fitted cardigan, jacket, vest, scarf, statement necklace, or a notice-me shoe, the third element will give your ensemble the extra push it needs to get out the door.
