Have no time or desire to put much thought into your outfit choices? Follow this simple rule and you’re sure to look well dressed.

The good news is you only need two components to achieve the desired effect – looking stylish. The even better news is this rule allows you to approach future shopping trips strategically and with a vision in mind.

It’s a simple and brilliant formula. Repeat a distinctive colour and you’ll look like a styling pro. Yes, that’s it.

Shirt and jumper

Jen Azoulay demonstrates this basic styling rule effortlessly. Her jumper – casually draped over her shoulders – goes perfectly with her patterned shirt and makes her outfit that little bit more special.

Jacket and socks

You don’t need to love prints or bright colours. The rule also works with classic ultramarine. Architect and photographer Amaël Hazza, for example, has replicated the exact blue of his work jacket in his socks. A coincidence? Definitely not. A good look? Absolutely.

Sunglasses and jacket

Most of us have sunglasses in standard colours such as black or brown. Influencer Karo Dall took a more strategic approach to her choice of eyewear and went with a model to match her grass green Moncler jacket. A small but stylish difference.

Content creator Garrett Carswell’s T-shirt features red lettering. Of course, he knows our styling rule inside out, so his Adidas Gazelle sneakers match the red perfectly.

The bottom line? Look stylish by matching colours that aren’t necessarily flashy, but stand out. Next time you set out to buy clothes, consider whether you have a matching accessory or item of clothing in your wardrobe – or start looking for one then and there. Trust me, the stylish result is worth the small effort!
