By Mollysims.com

While dressing well may be a universal desire, it can be hard to find the energy and creativity to style new outfits. Having too many pieces to choose from also really doesn’t help much. That’s where the 333 method comes in.

It’s a formula that utilizes a minimalist approach to creating a versatile wardrobe. You pick 3 tops, 3 bottoms, and 3 pairs of shoes to make 27 different outfits. This 333 method helps maximize outfit options while minimizing the number of items needed. The key is choosing pieces that coordinate well together to create a variety of looks, suitable for different occasions, without having to purchase new items or own a large quantity of clothing. When using this method, our biggest tip is to stick to an overall color palette and re-think the way you actually wear each piece.

The best part of this method is that you’ll gain a new appreciation for the pieces you already have in your closet, and you won’t be tempted to overconsume. Fashion enthusiast, Rachel Spencer started the 333 challenge on TikTok and has since gained a large following where she continues to post outfit inspiration. We highly recommend taking a look if you haven’t yet.

We decided to give the challenge a shot with 9 of Molly’s Spring wardrobe essentials that she has in her closet. And because we are who we are, we had to make our own twist and add in some accessories to further prove the power of accessories. So whether you’re looking to pack light on your next trip or starting to build your capsule wardrobe, the 333 method is a great place to start.
