More Easy Outfit Formulas for Women Over 40 (That Actually Work)
If your outfit feels... meh—
These 3 formulas are going to fix it.
They're simple, seasonless, and guaranteed to make your outfit look more styled, more intentional—and way more you.
Today, we’re moving on to 3 more formulas that bring in a little more fun—
a little more color and personality—but still feel totally wearable.
🥪 Outfit Formula #1: Sandwich Dressing
No, you don’t need mayo for this one. It just means you're repeating the same color at the top and bottom of your outfit, with a different color in the middle—usually pants, a skirt, or a belt.
That top-and-bottom color combo creates balance and symmetry—like a sandwich. The color in the middle is your filling.
💡 Why it works:
It keeps your look visually grounded.
Especially helpful if you're wearing a bold color or trying to pull together pieces that might feel random otherwise.
👗 Who it’s great for:
Women who want a foolproof formula that always feels pulled together—especially if you love neutrals or capsule wardrobes.
🎯 Outfit Formula #2: Color Pop
This one’s similar to Sandwich Dressing in that your base is neutral—but instead of repeating a color, you're adding a bold pop of contrast.
💡 Why it works:
The color draws the eye and adds personality, without feeling overwhelming.
👗 Who it’s great for:
Anyone whose wardrobe feels boring. Or if you love basics, but want to keep things fun and modern.
🧩 Outfit Formula #3: Pattern + Solid
This one is such a classic. One piece has a pattern. The other pieces are solid. This allows the print to shine, and the solid tones bring it all back down to earth.
💡 Why it works:
Too many patterns can feel chaotic. But just one print + clean basics = easy, balanced outfit.
👗 Who it’s great for:
Women who are print-curious… but don’t want to look like a walking wallpaper. Or if you’ve got that one cute patterned top in your closet and you never know how to wear it—this is your answer.
...So let’s recap:
-
Sandwich dressing gives you symmetry
-
Color pop adds intentional contrast
-
Pattern + solid balances bold and basic
All 3 of these work in any season and you can do them with pieces you already own—especially if you add a belt.
