The Warm Weather Styling Formula
Arms in, legs out – Legs out, arms in
When you’re pairing a top with the right bottoms, look at one thing first: your sleeve length.
If your top finishes at the elbow or above, it’s a short sleeve.
Short sleeves love balance, so they work best with skirts or shorts that finish knee-length or longer.
If your top comes below the elbow, it’s a long sleeve.
Long sleeves prefer lighter, shorter proportions, so they pair beautifully with bottoms that finish above the knee.
It’s a simple proportion rule that instantly makes every outfit look more intentional, more balanced, and more Boss.
Prefer a longer sleeve and longer pants?
The same theory as Arms in, legs out and legs in, arms out works back with masculine tops, feminine bottoms, and vice versa.
It’s all about balance. When one half leans masculine, let the other half bring the softness.
If you keep these two formulas in mind this Summer, you can't go wrong.
