Here at Who What Wear we pride ourselves on our know-how when it comes to solving sartorial dilemmas. Wondering what to wear in winter? We’ve got you covered. Searching for an office outfit that doesn’t feel stuffy? We’re experts. Simply searching for the next It item or trending style? Easy. But what can prove trickiest is actually the simplest question: how to perfect an easy, elegant, everyday outfit that is as low effort as possible with maximum pay off. Sound familiar?
Unlike dressing to meet a specific dress code, daily outfit building has to meet practical requirements as well as making us look and feel good. Should you also be the kind of person who spends Monday morning pulling apart your wardrobe to find something that will fit the bill, you know just how difficult the balance can be, and after declaring for the umpteenth time that I have “nothing to wear” (something I know to be untrue), I came across an outfit formula that provided a solution so simple that there was almost no thought required. Cue the TikTok sandwich rule.
With this 5 minute-wonder in mind, I put together some of my favourite new-in finds into sandwich outfits that might help you the next time you get stuck with what to wear this week. Happy scrolling.
