Style Formula Notice For Free

If you're not aware, a style formula is simply when you follow a way of dressing and putting outfits together. Think Hillary Clinton who wears a variety of pant suits in different colours or Sheryl Sandberg who typically pairs a pencil skirt or dress with a jacket.

An outfit formula might be a slim fit pant, such as a pair of jeans, oversized blouse and then tailored blazer over the top. If you have a couple of slim fit pants and different blouses you can make lots of fast combinations of outfits without much thought.

One formula I've found helpful to add color while still looking chic and put-together is the 3-color rule. Aim for 3 colors in an outfit, and yes, your neutrals count. Above, I've used 3 colors: tan/camel for the pants and shoes, red sweater, and light peach blazer. (My personal preference is 2 neutrals + 1 color.

An outfit formula is simply a template of clothing and accessory combinations to help you easily put together an outfit. 'The beauty of these fail-safe formulas is that they can be adapted for different occasions,' Emily says. 'You can use the same outfit formula day-to-day, by simply switching up the clothing items'.
