Have you ever heard of the third-piece rule? We hadn’t either until we came across a former Nordstrom employee’s interesting account of her manager's outfit advice. In order to encourage a more stylish sales staff, some retail associates are given the style guidance to wear outfits on the job comprised of three pieces, not including your shoes. Your pants and top are your first and second pieces, and your third piece is an extra outfit element such as a jacket, blazer, sweater, vest or statement accessory. The Cut reported that the third-piece rule is in effect at Banana Republic and, according to one of our editors who previously worked retail at Madewell, they encourage the practice too.

So what’s so special about a third piece? It adds nuance to an otherwise run-of-the-mill outfit, making you look put together, polished, more interesting, and like you put a little effort into your look. Essentially, it’s a simple rule of thumb that promotes more stylish outfit choices. If you’re in doubt about the third-piece’s power, just take a look at some of our street-style favorites—you’ll notice all have adopted the guideline, with many even adding fourth and fifth pieces to take the effect to the next level.

Scroll down to check out some photos of the rule in practice. We swear you’re going to start asking yourself, “Am I wearing my third piece?” before you leave the house—we already are!

It’s something we do every day — wear clothes! So, it somehow makes sense that we all have a few clothing tips and tricks up our sleeve. Everything from style and fashion to little tricks that help with all of the dilemmas we have with our bra straps, tight jeans, and uncomfortable shoes. These are all clothing tips that made me think “Why didn’t I think of that?!”. So, I thought I’d pass the wisdom on for other people that wear clothes. I figured there were a lot of you, so here we go!


1. Tucking Jeans Into Boots

No more fat ankles!! Most of my jeans are boot cut or straight leg (guess I’m just not a skinny jean kind of girl). This poses a problem when it comes to wearing boots — not only does it make it hard to zip them up, but I’m sometimes left with bunched up fabric that is uncomfortable and unflattering! If you have a similar problem, here is a nice little trick to tucking those non-skinny jeans into your boots.

2. Clever Zipper Solution



I have a few pairs of jeans that do this (too tight perhaps?). I’m not sure, but here’s an easy trick to help keep that pesky zipper up! Slide a key chain ring onto the loop of your zipper, and then loop it around the button. The ring stays concealed under the denim and ensures that you don’t get caught with your fly down.

3. Stretching Jeans To Fit

Ok, so you’ve maybe gained a few pounds, your jeans are getting tight, but not enough so that you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Been there, done that! You can’t stretch them several sizes, but you CAN stretch them enough to make them fit comfortably.



*Instructions: First, get your jeans damp. You can even put them on and then sit in the tub for a few minutes. This eliminates the process of trying to get them on while they’re wet. Or, give the areas that are too tight a good spray with a spray bottle.

Now wear them around the house for about 30 minutes doing lots of stretching, lunges, squats and perhaps some yoga poses. Now that you’ve gotten a good work out in (that’s just a bonus), take them off and let them hang dry. Repeat that process again once they are dry. You should now be able to breath a little easier!

*Stretching Them Length Wise: If you want to stretch them length wise, get them damp, lay them on the floor, put your foot down on the waist side to hold them down, and then grab the bottom of one of the legs and pull it firmly towards your body about 10 times. Repeat this process for the other leg.

Let’s face it, fashion can be tricky. It seems like there are a lot of rules when it comes to style and trends. While I think it’s important to always do what makes you most comfortable and happy, it’s nice to have a rule of thumb when you need it.

Heels are such a fabulous accessory because they take both your outfit and your confidence up a notch. Here’s a guide you can pin to look back on when you’re not sure of the correct heel for the occasion on your calendar. Hope it helps!

Perfect Heel Height

2 & 3″
Perfect for:
School or work, where comfort is a must. Even if you’re not standing constantly, being on the move throughout the day can take its toll. Not only that, but some office settings require a more conservative look, and a kitten heel like the pair above is an alternative to flats. They’re sweet and feminine, and always look adorable with spring dresses! This makes them perfect for formal outdoor events such as weddings as well.

3.5 – 4.5″
Perfect for:
A dinner party with coworkers or a date night. This height is classic and polished, and comes in pretty much every style you can imagine, from block heels to stilettos. It works for weddings and special events as well, but make sure to find a comfortable pair that fits the occasion right. Rock this heel height whenever you want to dress up your outfit a bit without much effort.

If you prefer this height but aren’t sure if you can get away with it in the workplace, try wearing a sleek black or nude pair first to test the waters–it will be much less surprising to a manager than bright pumps.

5″+
Perfect for:
Honestly, not everyone loves strutting a super high heel, whether out on the town or not. But sky-high heels can be fun once you learn to walk in them! If you’re comfortable with adding 5″+ to your height, wear these with your favorite mini dress while out with girlfriends or at a party. Just be sure to bring a pair of flats along for later in the night!
