Sandwich rule

Have you heard of the sandwich rule? it's a fun way to style outfits!
Imagine your outfit like a sandwich: two slices of bread on top and bottom, with something different in the middle. In fashion, this translates to:

  • Top and shoes: The "bread" pieces! They match in color or style.
  • Bottoms: The "filling." This can be a different color, pattern, or texture.

It creates a balanced, put-together look. You can use color, texture, or even proportions for the "bread" and "filling." It's a great way to experiment and make your wardrobe more versatile!
