How to Elevate Every Outfit Using the ‘Sandwich Method’ of Styling

You can also try sandwich dressing using different fits

Once you’ve mastered sandwich dressing using matching colors, it’s time to get more creative. The same concept can work by pairing different fits together, too. So, for example, if you wore the loose denim trend via your jeans, this would be your filling. For the bread either side, add a form-fitting top and strappy, close-fitting sandals. This will help you have fun with proportions without worrying if the mix of formfitting and oversized/baggy pieces create a balanced outfit.

Although the rule of at least two matching garments (one on your top half and one on your bottom) needs to stay the same for the concept to work, there are a few other ways you can put your own spin on sandwich dressing. Instead of focusing on the classic idea of your top/jacket matching the shoes, you could try a hat in the same color as your footwear, or carry a bag that matches your shoes instead. You can also have fun pairing different shades of the same color together if you don’t have an exact match.
