The One Dressing Rule For Always Looking Good

Choosing what to wear just got so much easier thanks to ‘sandwich dressing’. This style hack is the guaranteed route to a cohesive head-to-toe look: simply choose matching shades for your shoes and top half; sandwich a different colour in between and hey presto. Here are four examples to demonstrate.

Look 1

Matching trainers + jumper = the sandwich rule 101. Just add an oversized puffer (to match the shoes and knit, of course) for off-duty cool.

The sandwich rule can also put a stylish spin on chinos and a tee. The boxy jacket may be a slightly different shade, but stick to lights versus darks and you’ll be fine.

Sandwich dressing doesn’t have to be complicated. Case in point, this boots, chino and sweater combo. It’s a failsafe winter look, wherever you’re off to.

Look 4

Even jeans can be manipulated to fit the rule – if you treat them as their own colour, the rest falls into place. Here, navy slippers and a matching cardigan lift up casual blue denim.
