Honest truth: I've never been enticed by a capsule wardrobe video before. They looked aesthetically pleasing to me, but I wasn't running to incorporate the combinations into my wardrobe. That was until I came across the 333 method on TikTok. (I try not to, but sometimes you can't help but be influenced by that app.) I appreciated the concept because it's not solely focused on curating your entire wardrobe at once but creates multiple outfits by using any three tops, three bottoms, and three shoes you own. There's no doubt that this will come in handy when I'm trying to be a light-packer on my travels. It not only made me think more about how I could maximize what can fit in a carry-on but also how I can take my every day further by repeating pieces even more than I already do.

If you're also feeling a bit lost with how to style your clothes, this method just might be the solution to get you out of that fashion funk. To prove its capability, I used 12 pieces (I also included accessories) to create nine outfits in total. With a little bit more focus, I'm sure I could've come up with more. If you're interested in seeing the outcome of the 333 method, keep scrolling.

When in doubt, double-denim always works. And don't overthink too much on the shades of denim being exactly the same! As long as they're within the similar shade range, it'll look put together. The black accessories will help pull the look together.

Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best ones. If double denim isn't exactly your cup of tea, try pairing your trusty denim shirt with classic black trousers.

This is exactly the kind of outfit I'd spot in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing office. White T-Shirts can easily be polished with an elevated piece like this midi pencil skirt.

This outfit combination is one I rely on often. With these particular items, I love the mix of textures from the cashmere sweater, suede sneakers, and braided leather bag.

Layering a white T-Shirt under your sweater is the easiest trick in the book that always just adds that finishing touch to your look. If you get hot, you can just throw it over your shoulders or around your waist.

While I love color, I'm always amazed by the chicness a full black-and-white outfit exudes. Some people might say it's boring, but when you have a combination of pieces like this, you'll only have compliments coming your way.

Break up your double denim look with a white T-Shirt and you already have a completely different outfit than the first. To make the look feel more casual and relaxed, try sneakers instead of boots.

It's easy to throw on your favorite sweater with jeans or trousers, but I promise it'll look even better with a sophisticated skirt like this.

For the last outfit combination, try to throw on all the layers possible! Tying the grey sweater over your shoulders like a scarf will pull this whole look together.
