Pack 20+ Outfits from 9 Pieces (the Packing Sudoku Method)

Steps

1. 1

   Pick 9 pieces: 3 tops, 3 layers, 3 bottoms.

2. 2

   The secret is choosing colours, silhouettes and basics that all work together.

3. 3

   Lay them out in a 3×3 grid — tops, layers, bottoms.

4. 4

   Style across the grid: any top with any layer with any bottom. There are even more combinations than you'd think — 20+ outfits from 9 pieces.

5. 5

   Change an outfit with accessories: a belt and ballet flats to elevate a shirt and skirt, a colour scarf to pull it together, a bag to make it stand out, a jacket for cooler weather.

6. 6

   The goal isn't to pack more clothes — it's to pack smarter clothes.
