Intro
Some people wake up knowing exactly what to wear.
If you’re not one of them—hi, same here 🙋♀️
Mixing and matching clothes can feel like a puzzle.
But once you figure out a few smart combos, you’ll realize your wardrobe has way more potential than you thought.
Here’s how to mix and match without turning it into a math problem.
1. Pick a “base color” for the day
Start simple. Choose one base color like black, beige, gray, or white.
Then build the rest of your outfit around it—one piece sets the tone, the rest fall into place.
✅ Example: Beige trousers + white top + black accessories = easy, clean look.
2. Use the “2 solids + 1 print” rule
Wearing too many prints = chaos.
Wearing only solids = kinda boring.
Balance them with this formula:
2 solid pieces + 1 printed item (scarf, skirt, bag, jacket…)
✅ Tip: Keep the print in a similar color tone for a more cohesive vibe.
3. Think in “uniforms,” not outfits
Some pieces just love each other.
Figure out your favorite go-to combos and repeat with variations.
- Jeans + white tee + blazer
- Midi dress + denim jacket
- High-waist pants + cropped knit top
✅ It’s not lazy—it’s your style.
4. Use accessories to change the mood
Same base outfit, different accessories = totally new vibe.
Switch sneakers for boots, add a belt, throw on hoops, or layer a vest—boom, new look.
✅ Example: White tank + black pants = chill
→ Add blazer + red lip = work
→ Add flannel + sneakers = weekend
5. Lay it out (or take a mirror photo)
If you really can’t decide, put options on the bed—or snap mirror pics when you do like a look.
It builds a mental wardrobe menu you can reuse anytime.
✅ Bonus: One day you’ll be your own outfit Pinterest board.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need more clothes—you just need to look at them differently.
Mixing and matching isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being playful.
So next time you say “I have nothing to wear,” challenge yourself to remix 3 pieces you already love.
Your next favorite outfit might be hiding in plain sight.
