One of my favourite styling tricks for a quick, stylish outfit

Have you ever heard of “Sandwich dressing”??
Let me explain. It’s basically a styling formula that involves starting with two pieces of clothing in the same colour (your “bread”) and adding a piece in a different colour in between (the “meat”).
(See photo 1 for an example.)

By now, you probably think I sound like a highly educated fashion stylist or something with this terminology!!
I’ll be honest. In actual fact, it’s a term I only recently discovered on Instagram and realised it’s something I’ve been doing all along while dressing myself all these years.

Let’s come back…so it’s basically repeating a colour in an outfit. You can also use your earrings, lipstick, or anything in the top half to repeat the colour of your shoes to round off the outfit. (See photo 2)

I personally like to use my layering piece(my jacket or coat) many times to match my shoes, or if you are a hat person…you can wear a hat that’s the same colour as your pants, shoes or anything in the bottom half.(see photo 3&4)

This is just a brief explanation…but you can later on play around with the same principle and use it not only with colour but also with texture ,fabrics, prints, proportions, etc.

Try it with what you already have in your closet. If you have a favourite pair of jeans, match them with light blue statement earrings that are almost the same shade or a scarf. This is just a nice way to pull an outfit together and make it aesthetically pleasing.

Hope you have fun!!
