THE 2x2 OUTFIT FORMULA - Let's See If It Works!

[@dva5610]

Loved this video so much - I dress like this and didn’t realise there was a name for it! Also loved the slower pace and explaining the thinking behind it. You’re definitely becoming one of my favourite fashion influencers ❤

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so so much!!

[@ManUntdForever]

This was a lot of fun! You have a great sense of style; you always look comfortable and put together. ETA: YES to a capsule wardrobe video!!

[@TheMicheleWang]

OK! Thank you so much!! 😃

[@ErikaLyremark]

I just discovered you a month ago (from your quiet luxury video) and was instantly drawn to you because you aren't telling everyone what to do. Just sharing your own ideas and bringing us along on the journey. Your content IS the definition of 'quiet luxury'! Big kisses.

[@HoneyDarley]

The Row bag with the linen pants.. Spectacular

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you Tania!

[@AMG-qn6jx]

Great video. Concept and your style great. This 2x2 casual smart really works

[@SamanthaLeonardo]

Thank you for making this video as I don’t really see a lot of content on what i call “tension dressing”. But to your point, it’s geared towards styling and not how to appear more acceptable against “beauty standards”. In addition, this style of dressing isn’t confined to just the tone of the garment (smart vs casual). It also covers mixing fabrics, like wearing a motorcyle leather jacket with a silk slip dress, or lace with denim. Basically wearing pieces that don’t usually go together creates an interesting silhouette because of their juxtaposition. Please continue to create more of these videos cause this type of styling really deserves to be more hyped up.

[@margaretmacinnes1519]

Dear Michele, This video was so much fun😃 Full of perfect explanations about the importance that your brilliant design eye and significance of styling is appreciated by so many of us⭐️ Thank you Thank you ♥️🎉

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so much Margaret!! xoxo ❤️

[@susanmcintyre9934]

I wish more people would have your philosophy on clothing. I also like to be comfortable in my clothes, even though I tend to be a little more dressed up than most of my friends, that is what comfort is to me. I’m so tired of looking at Instagram and seeing everyone wearing the exact same clothes. What a refreshing video you made! Thank you for the video!

[@sandychin1326]

"smart" is a very British word, I love using this word!

[@rlavelleSLP]

I know this is an odd comment, but your makeup is perfection in this video ❤

[@martasipan1593]

Really enjoyed this. Excellent way to shop our closet…and make great outfits. Thank you!!!❤

[@mithrasbroussard8890]

I loved the formula. I’m going to apply it . Thank you .

[@WendyS1822]

Wow Michele - I loved ALL the outfits… and really enjoyed the process you went through with each look - super helpful and something we can all incorporate. And thanks so much for the jewelry discount code! Love Luna’s pieces.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks so much Wendy!! ❤️

[@susannjarvis5587]

Love this concept. It has given me a new way of looking at my clothes and how I put outfits together. Thank you for not only talking through the 2X2 Formula but also demonstrating it with different choices of clothing and accessories.

[@SimplyDeeBeauty]

It's funny, I've always dressed like that, mixing formal and casual, ready for any occasion. Now I know it's a thing, a concept. Thanks Michele ❤

[@elizabeths.4355]

Love your view on style and styling. I totally agree..❤

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so much! Very much appreciated 🥰

Aloha from Honolulu,Hawaii. I love love love your oversized fits! :) so chic and effortless

[@summerh561]

I'd love to watch some similar videos again! What a great way to play around one's own wardrobe!

[@TheMicheleWang]

More to come!

[@qmanh72]

I'd consider the Chanel dad sandals as casual because they're flat and don't have a "dressy" vibe

[@kimberleestern]

This is such an effective way of dressing. I mostly wear black dresses so I need to give this a think on how to try this method. Any thoughts?

[@marnellysimmons8017]

I just ordered the H&M cardigan in white. And I can’t wait to style it.

[@americaunited504]

Yes, please do your favorite versatile pieces. You have great taste!

[@lovels2010]

Yes to capsule wardrobe video. This video was fun.

[@hotoilin]

Yes. Would love to see you put together a capsule wardrobe with your favourite /most worn or versatile pieces.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Noted!

[@aspencorner2654]

This is awesome! I love the outfits you put together.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so much!!

[@GraceChen838]

great tips! thank you for sharing ....I have sometimes gone that way, balance out a super casual bottom with a more formal top half or a really colourful dress with a plainer blazer sort of thing. Balance is key.

[@carolchadwick3580]

Hi Michele, great ideas I'm very basic in my wardrobe. White, Beige, Grey and Black. I'm leaving for a 16 day tour to Ireland/Scotland in mid September and having a hard time on what to take. Other than dress in layers because I hear you can have all four season in one day. You never know what the weather brings. ❤

[@TheMicheleWang]

Ohhh, that's quite the challenge. I'm thinking about my upcoming trip to Italy and am thankful I only have hot weather to think about! Good luck!!

[@silviacosta9164]

Hi Michel, I live in Italy now, near Rome (I’m argentine) and the summer is really hot. I find it difficult to be smart casual in this kind of weather and there’s not much A/C here, as in others countries. If you find a way to do it, please share!

[@fcanatto]

OMG! I love your elephant bag! So cute!

[@annacris1005]

I really love this concept! Thanks Michelle!

[@jessica_g8719]

Well, this was just too easy! The formula really helps name & define what parameters to stay within for successful styling. Every look is chic & elevated & balanced & fantastic, and it really takes out the guesswork from putting a look together. I had actually thought up something similar in my head just the other day when I was getting dressed, and I absolutely loved the way my outfit came together and how confident & authentic & good it made me feel all day. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

[@altacostura3512]

Love this video! The 2 X 2 is a great approach! Thank you.

[@jackietobin2949]

please make more of these videos, so much fun.

[@taylorjefferson6689]

Oh, this is how I normally dress! How fun! My accessories (and makeup/hair) are really where I can smarten things up since the bulk of my clothes as well can swing either (13:24).

[@TheMicheleWang]

🥰 🥰 🥰

[@teacheschem]

I think your wardrobe is perfectly made for this!!!

[@dananatale501]

Loved this video and how true you stay to your own taste. I couldn’t agree more:. I can’t where the the things I used to be able to, but I certainly stick to what I am comfortable in: I had never heard of this concept, but I like it and you made it work! Thanks

[@polamontero1897]

I love this video it was very informative I would love to see more like this❤

I loved this video! It would be great to see a video of "most versatile" pieces! Thanks SO much!

[@cathyhurst922]

Loved this idea. Makes me rethink my wardrobe.

[@BBkonn]

Looking at you combining made me think of this: shirt untucked looked casual, while tucked looked smart. Also, may be it's old-fashioned, but sandals cathegorize casual in any case, even if they are expensive.

[@GabrielaLandoni]

Hi Michele, I would like to see a video where you show versatile pieces. Also what brand is the T-shirt from the first outfit you showed. Thanks!

[@staceytaylor1502]

Love those jeans on you! I think this exercise makes it pretty clear, thanks.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks so much Stacey!

[@davepedroza6355]

You are absolutely right in your thinking. Women should wear what they love with out feeling pressured to look a certain way… I push my clients to be adventurous in with fashion but the important thing is fit… should be proportional to each different body. It’s easy to say since I made made to measure clothes but I feel there are piece one can pull off the rack and have them tailored or altered. It’s about great fit and quality.

[@pjs299]

Love this! You're making me want to change out of my workfromhome pjs and into something smart casual. 😊❤

[@TheMicheleWang]

😃 I love a good PJ day!

Great video! I would love to see you do this for other styling tips like Amy Smilovic’s (Tibi) big-slim-skin principle.

[@thefoxyscentury]

Hi Michele! Edited to add: I used to do the part casual-part dressy all the time years ago. I think I'll try it again. I've been in severely schlubby mode for a while...but especially since having kids! Btw, I remember wearing nylons to work too!

❤ I think subconsciously on some level I’ve always done this … in my own way 😂 … I can’t stand the how to dress to look “whatever” or the don’t wear “this” to look etc … I’m actually stunned that those videos are made let alone watched … have we not evolved beyond that ?!?!? Embrace what you love … no judgement or criticism on the others style … it’s seems simple enough … and yet …. 🥸 Loved your looks ❤

[@miecymay8491]

Fun video! I dress with this formula and never knew it had a name ❤

[@julieswann9729]

Love the combo of your jeans w more formal jacket and shoes. Your skin looks great, too. I believe I always imagined that clothes had magical powers-if I had the right dress or jeans it would hide my “flaws” and people would see me differently-like the “real” me not ok. I think videos can manipulate us because of this type of belief and the hope that clothing or style = perfection. So sad not to see that our essence where perfection lies and the other superficial covering. But planning the covering IS SO FUN!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Hopefully I've inspired you to dress however you want! xoxo

Our senses of style orbit totally each other-except I like to wear grey cashmere socks with all my dad sandals and cropped swing pants. It’s soooo comfy! I have like 10 pairs of them all in the same color! Such a creature of habit. xx 🌷

[@asiyahkhan444]

You usually are in comfortable clothing, like so many of us. So whether you have smart pieces or casual pieces, they all look comfort pieces to me. Shoes can do wonder! No formula needed. Do as you like!

[@elizabeths4272]

When I started practicing law, we were not allowed to wear pant suits in Court; only skirt suits were permitted! I hadn't heard of this 2 x 2 concept. Really enjoyed the video!

[@yuliabudd4401]

Fantastic news Michele!!! Thank you for sharing the discount code of this beautiful line!! I will definitely be admiring 😊 I love the idea of high/low fashion. I work as a special education teacher and love mixing some unique pieces with more comfy pieces too. I will definitely be trying the smart and casual mixes with my clothes. You give so much inspiration to me! Love your vlogs so much and they always make my day even better with your face!!

Thank you so much Yulia!! 😘

The 2x2 outfit formula reminds me of the J Crew aesthetic when Jenna Lyons was at the helm. For years I wanted to figure out how she put outfits together - I'll try this, seems easy enough!

It’s the name of the first jewelry maker who lived in Milan in medieval times.

[@geyj1]

I couldn’t agree with you more about these “ you should or shouldn’t wear this , that,the other”! Like yourself for me, comfort is number 1 factor as far as clothing is concern. Of course, having a certain style that is mine. Darling Michel, I LOVE your style because my goodness we dress alike!! I can not wear wool anymore due to 🥵and sensitive skin but I have found alternative and that cotton knitwear 😊. Thank you so much for your great vlogs and videos🙏 ❤ from London ❤️

I think it would be highly beneficial to her new website if the name of the first jewelry maker who lived in Milan in the medieval times was on every landing page that goes to her site.

1st outfit is too boxy ... the denims are wide and the chanel-esque jackets are also wide (it should be a little more cropped to give you better proportions).

[@StylishandGrateful]

I used to hate work dress codes when I was younger, now I miss that they hardly exist. I think people dress way too casually these days. I’m not against casual comfy wear, but there is a line. And society has definitely moved overly casual. I see people in pjs or athletic wear all the time out and about…
