Good style doesn't have to be complex and certainly not time-consuming. The 3-part rule is as simple as it is ingenious and is sure to take your morning routine by storm.

How long did you stand in front of the closet this morning to look for the "perfect" outfit? 5 minutes? 20 minutes? Even longer? We admit: We too have spent a minute or two too much wildly combining items of clothing with each other or putting together looks with that certain something. We could use the time much better!

Our favorite fashionistas show how it is: To create a real wow styling, it only takes a minute and the so-called 3-part rule. What is it about? Take care, because this hack will give you time for another enjoyable cup of coffee every morning from now on.

Basically, the fashion experts' favorite styling rule is quickly explained. A really good look needs exactly three parts. Not more! So simple, right?

Basic + basic + fashion piece = wow look!

And it gets even easier: two of them are basics. Say a pair of jeans and a shirt or a skirt and a sweater. In the third part, you can dig a little deeper into the fashion box, because it is the icing on the cake of your look and responsible for your outfit getting a stylish upgrade. Sounds banal, it is also and still no less brilliant.

As always, there are no limits to personal taste. Whether you work with a striking piece of clothing or pimp a simple look with extravagant accessories is entirely up to you. A simple outfit consisting of jeans and a top becomes a real eye-catcher thanks to an embroidered cardigan in a crop cut. A lavishly decorated jacket gives a strict styling in no time an extra portion of playfulness and a silk foulard, which is converted into a belt, becomes a new it-piece thanks to the 3-part rule.

You see, good style can be so simple. Here you get even more inspiration.
