Easy Styling Hack: Sandwich Dressing

On TikTok, we’ve seen fashion hacks for nearly every aspect, ranging from altering the fit of our jeans to transforming our scarves into tops. However, a new viral styling trend, the art of sandwich dressing, has quickly become a favorite that involves discovering the ideal outfit combination.

What does the term ‘sandwich dressing’ refer to? Similar to assembling a traditional sandwich, this styling approach involves creating a visually appealing outfit by layering different elements. Picture two identical elements as the ‘bread’ with a contrasting element known as the ‘filling’ placed between them. In the realm of fashion, this entails harmonizing two clothing items in terms of color or texture and wearing a distinct piece in the middle.

Thanks to this new fashion tip, say goodbye to those frustrating ‘nothing-to-wear' moments. The 'sandwich dressing' technique has emerged as a foolproof way to achieve a refined look. You can simply match your shoes with the color of your top and then incorporate a different shade in between. This approach results in an effortlessly chic ensemble that is quick to put together.

And what makes this technique effective? It simplifies your outfit, eliminating the need for intricate patterns or the risk of mismatched colors, allowing you to effortlessly achieve a 'didn't-have-to-think-about-it' style, even on those hectic mornings. Below are timeless looks I’ve put together using this classic technique.

Look One: The advantage of sandwiching is that it can help simplify your morning schedule. When you're in a rush for class or a meeting, just pick the same for your top and bottom, and you're good to go.

Look Two: It can also be done in a formal setting. Partner up with a white-colored blazer and white-colored heels, then put them together with a dress as the filling.

Look Three: One alternative method for crafting your sandwiching is using accessories. Balance out a wide blouse and flared jeans with a belt in between them.

Look Four: Another hack is sandwiching the proportions of your ensemble. Create balance in your look by pairing baggy pants with a tiny tank and slip-on shoes.

Now that you have a good understanding of sandwich dressing, why not experiment with it? Combine different elements and explore fresh outfit combinations in your closet.
