""Every item [in your wardrobe] has a score of either one or two, depending on how much it adds to the outfit," she said in the clip. Ones include your basics - like a white tee, jeans, or silver hoops - while twos are more elevated pieces, like a patterned bag or asymmetrical skirt. With this rule, the idea is to layer on items until they all add up to seven - and just like that, you'll look effortlessly chic."
""If you throw on a long-sleeve tee, black skirt, and white sneakers and wonder why it looks meh, it's probably because those pieces only add up to three points. To boost the same outfit to an enviable seven, you could add a fringed vintage coat for two points, gold earrings for one point, and a black shoulder bag for one point. The result? Way more intrigue.""
"On TikTok, creator @digitaltaylor said the best style recipes combine a mixture of ones and twos. 'If you use a lot of ones, your outfit's going to have a lot of components,' she said in the clip. 'And if you use only twos, your outfit is going to be a little simpler,' since you won't need as many pieces to add up to seven. (FYI, all of your jewelry together is only one point.)"
The 'rule of 7' assigns each wardrobe item a score of one or two based on how much it contributes to an outfit, with basics like a white tee, jeans, or silver hoops rated one and elevated pieces like patterned bags or asymmetrical skirts rated two. The goal is to layer items until their combined score reaches seven, creating a more interesting and polished look. Mixing ones and twos determines complexity: many ones yield more components, while mostly twos require fewer pieces. Jewelry collectively counts as one point. Practical examples show adding coats, earrings, and bags can raise a simple outfit to seven.
