Why Outfit Planning Makes Getting Dressed Easier

“WHAT WILL I WEAR TODAY?”


It’s the age old question that can bring so much angst to our morning routine. EVERY SINGLE DAY.


And more times than not, can end with “I’ll just wear that again”, as we reach for our trusted pair of jeans. And whilst there is nothing wrong with relying on those ever so faithful jeans time again (they are a wardrobe staple for good reason), the entire faith of your wardrobe does not have to rest solely on that one pair of jeans just because finding an alternative seems like a daunting task for first thing in the morning, one not even your morning coffee can help with. 

What if there was an all seeing, all knowing, 101 guide to putting together the perfect outfit? Something to help take the stress/angst/anxiety/dread out of the morning ritual of “What will I wear today?”


Well, drum roll please…..

Outfit Fundamentals: How to Build a Stylish Look

Needing a quick outfit guide to help keep your morning routine on track? Here’s our winning formula for putting together a winning outfit, every time.

STAPLE + ATTRACT + STATEMENT = WINNING OUTFIT

1. Build Your Outfit with Staples

These are the foundation pieces that are found in every girls wardrobe, the basics if you will. Your staple go-to pieces that can be worn with almost anything. Now, they may differ depending on your lifestyle, personality or body shape, but the classic go-to’s are always there:


  • White Tee
  • Denim Jeans
  • Black Pants
  • Button Up Shirt
  • Little Black Dress
  • Denim Jacket
  • Knit or Cardigan
  • Tan Heel/Boot/Flat
  • Black Heel/Boot/Flat

Add or delete as you please! Fill your wardrobe with pieces that work for your figure, lifestyle and personality.

2. Attract Attention with Outfit Details

Something that has a little detail, draws some interest to your look, but isn’t a stand out piece. Think of it as a complimentary piece, something to add a touch of subtle oh-la-la to your outfit. 


  • A coloured t-shirt in a block colour
  • A pastel coloured scarf
  • Dangling earrings
  • Leopard print shoes
  • Colour blocked belt and shoe combination
  • Oversized Bag

3. Add a Statement Piece to Your Outfit

No introduction necessary, this is the show stopper piece that takes over your outfit - the piece that people notice. It doesn’t have to be a bright bold colour, or an out there pattern, it can be as simple as a fabric choice - leather, lace, silk. Usually, it's the piece you build your entire outfit around.

The Winning Outfit

Sounds simple enough, right? Well it is! Build your outfit each morning (or evening if you really want a gold star) with this winning formula in mind and see how quickly and easily your outfit comes together. OK, let's see it in action shall we...
