Perfect Outfit Formula

We have all opened our closet - full of clothes - and felt like we have absolutely nothing to wear. Which then leads us into that blank stare of panic, wishing we had a fool-proof way of maximising the items in our wardrobes. If you are experiencing this right now, then this article is for you. Below we offer a few tips and formulas on how to always create the perfect outfit that leaves you feeling confident and ready to conquer the day. After reading this article, we hope you are able to fall back in love with waking up and deciding what to wear - we are bringing you are favourite pieces along with some outfit inspiration.

 

1. Find Your ‘Hero’ Piece

This is the item that your entire outfit will be centred around, for example in winter, this could be that gorgeous statement coat if you like to make an impact upon arrival. Or in the warmer months, this could be a cool funky bag or even your favourite necklace. To help with this, think about what activity you will be doing and dress for that - if you are going for dinner, think what top could flatter your features. On the other hand if you are going on a night out - think what parts of you that you want to accentuate the most. Below find some of our favourite statement items.

2. Play With Colours & Textures

Now, based on this hero piece - choose your colour pallet. This is our favourite step, It is so fun to find items that compliment your statement piece If this piece is patterned you could use that as your colour pallet or have a look at our article on creating outfits with the colour wheel. We prefer to use a relatively narrow colour pallet to avoid outfits that are too busy - but if colour is your thing then go for it!!

3. Accessorise

Accessories are your best-friend! If you are not afraid to repeat outfits then you can simply use accessories to create new looks around the same statement pieces. Try on all of the bags, shoes, hats, and belts in your closet, if needed. And don’t forget that your nails, hair, and makeup can be considered accessories as well!
