It could say that the number 3 is a magic number for fashion. It´s caused because it perfectly structures the geometry of the body by redirecting the eye into three sections. This basic style rule is applicable to all genders. For a perfect look, it must always consist of 3 parts, for example:
- Pants + shirt + hat
- Dress + coat + belt
- Skirt + sweater + scarf
- Pants + t-shirt + bomber
And so an endless number of combinations ... but be careful! This rule not only affects the number of garments and accessories, also you must limit the colors. Because in each look, you should wear no more than 3 colors. I show you some examples in pictures:
If you go over these colors, your appearance will be overloaded. Keep in mind two small details:
- If you wear a garment where the pattern is multicolored, do not add more color to your look. In this case, you´ll give prominence to that garment and combine it with neutral colors such as black, gray or white.
- Take into account the jewelry: if the colors of your outfits are cold, wear silver jewelry. If instead they are warm colors, use gold jewelry.
I'm sure this rule will solve your day-to-day outfits. Do not hesitate to comment on your questions or comments. I read you!
