"After weeks of living in sweatpants and a claw clip, there often comes a moment when you finally feel like getting ready again. Instead of running errands in pajama bottoms or dashing to work with wet hair, it suddenly sounds fun to put on a nicer outfit and step outside feeling cute. For many, the easiest way to accomplish this goal is with the viral "2/3 rule" from TikTok."
"Creator @itschelseanicole, a law student, says she follows it almost every day. "The rule basically says that at any given moment you should have two out of three of these polished: your hair, your makeup, or your outfit," she says in her video. When her hair is slicked back and her makeup is done, she feels better about wearing a chill outfit. When her outfit is nice and her hair done, she doesn't feel the need to go as hard on the makeup."
Many people move from extended casual dressing to wanting to feel more put together. The 2/3 rule advises polishing two of three elements—hair, makeup, outfit—at any given moment to achieve a chic appearance with minimal effort. Different combinations allow trade-offs: done hair and makeup permit a relaxed outfit, while a polished outfit and hair reduce the need for heavy makeup. The approach shortens time spent on full routines involving long showers, extensive skincare, hair drying and styling, and elaborate makeup. The method conserves mental energy and offers a low-effort way to feel polished for errands, work, or outings.
