The Fashion Formula

The Fashion industry has a "Fashion Formula" circulating around since years, I am just going to break it down for help!



The outfit should basically  consist of three main pieces: a Basic; which is something solid and simple.The second piece is an interest piece, which includes something with colour, pattern, texture and/or shine. The third piece is the completer piece, which finishes the look off. A jacket or cardigan are the safest option, but a belt (skinny or wide) do the trick as well. 
And of course the accessories are the fun little extras that make the outfit really you.

You can not opt for a completer piece, depending on the climate and or how comfortable you are with the jackets or belts!

Here are few examples.




This outfit does not have a completer piecer but because the colour the pants is bright, it makes up for the missing element!









So that's the basic formula to be kept in mind! Even though it doesn't matter if you follow these on a day-to-day basis, what would matter in the end is dressing comfortably, these are just guidelines!

Wear the classic White Shirt!

This time, it's something for the Men! I see men refraining from wearing white shirts often, never understood why! It's actually the least boring item of clothing. Always looks classy, can be made into a classy ensemble if worn with right things, so here are few tips about : what can be worn with a white shirt... 1. Let's begin with something casual! White shirt worn with shorts and sandals, This is your only chance to wear it rumpled and with rolled up sleeves. Take the most of it! Just make sure to look out for a tailored, unadorned pair, and yes, stay clear of anything with pattern or even a drawstring .  Colours could be possibly anything, for a summer anything pastel, black and navy are being a little safe, but sure! 2.

Or just get inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany and wear a tie! If ac...

A simple addition of a garment with another can go a very long way in changing the look of your ensemble. Rule#1 Thinner clothes first The closer to your skin, the thinner the material.

In particular, avoid a untucked shirt under a sports jacket or blazer. Rule #4 Mix in some colour Use compl...
