The Sweet Sum of Fashion

The fashion Rule of 7 breaks down your outfit into points with each item of clothing or accessory garnering separate points. A basic piece will get 1 point while statement-making pieces could add 2 points courtesy of colour, cut or texture. The sweet sum to aim for is at least 7 and never over 10 to help avoid a too plain look or a too cluttered outfit. For most, getting 5 points is easy with any outfit but getting over to the sweet spot could be tricky and that's why we have put together a fun guide of pieces that will instantly add 2 points to any look.

Bold, chunky and colourful, these gorgeous pieces will take you from a simple 6 to an outstanding 8!
