The Outfit Formula That Works For Every Body Type

-

I’ll be completely honest with you—there have been mornings where I stood in front of my closet for way too long, convinced I had nothing to wear. Of course, the closet was full. The real problem? I didn’t have a simple formula that worked for me. After plenty of awkward outfit fails (some never saw the light of day outside my bedroom), I finally figured out a little style trick that honestly works no matter your shape, size, or height.

The Outfit Formula That Works For Every Body Type

It All Comes Down to Balance

The magic word in fashion? Proportion. Once I realized this, everything clicked. If my top is fitted, I’ll grab something looser for the bottom. If I’m in wide-leg pants, I’ll tuck in my shirt or throw on something cropped so I don’t disappear in fabric.

It’s such a small shift, but it makes your outfit feel intentional instead of random.

The Third Piece Secret

Here’s another game-changer: the third piece. That could be a blazer, a cardigan, a scarf—basically, anything that layers on top of your base look. It’s amazing how quickly a simple jeans-and-tee outfit feels pulled together once you add that extra piece.

For example, I wore wide-leg trousers and a plain tucked-in tee last week. It felt fine, but kind of flat. The second I threw on a cropped blazer, it looked like I actually planned my outfit (when in reality, I got dressed in under five minutes).

Real-Life Outfit Ideas

If you want to try this formula, here are a few combos that always work for me:

  • Casual day → slim tank top + relaxed jeans + cozy cardigan

  • Office look → flowy trousers + tucked-in blouse + tailored blazer

  • Weekend errand run → oversized sweater + leggings + chunky scarf

  • Dinner out → slip dress + cropped jacket + block-heeled sandals

They all follow the same idea: balance one piece with its opposite, and finish with a third layer.

No Rules, Just Confidence

The best part is that this isn’t about strict fashion rules—it’s about creating outfits where you feel comfortable and confident. When I dress this way, I spend way less time stressing about what to wear and way more time actually enjoying the day.

Once you get the hang of this, it becomes second nature. You’ll look at your closet differently—less “I have nothing to wear” and more “okay, I know how to make this work.”

✨ If you’re refreshing your wardrobe, it helps to invest in a few staples—like a classic blazer, neutral wide-leg pants, or a longline cardigan. These pieces mix and match effortlessly and make pulling together outfits so much easier.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...
