The 2/3 method is the idea that in order to look put together without doing everything, you need to put effort into at least two out of the three key areas of your appearance: hair, face and outfit. For example, if you don’t feel like wearing make up one day, at least try to throw on a cute outfit and do something with your hair. If you don’t have time to wash your hair or do something with it, do your make up routine and put effort into your clothes. You get the picture.

1/3 of How to Look Put Together – Outfit
Perhaps the one we think of first when we think of looking put together. The outfit is very important, but as mentioned, doesn’t need to be especially flashy as long as you’ve spent time on the other two parts. However, if you want to look like you know how to dress there is a very simple strategy. It’s all in the details. You don’t have to wear statement pieces all the time to look put together. A much more efficient, and budget friendly way is to wear somewhat basic but chic pieces and dress them up with accessories such as jewellery and bags. Usually the type of shoes you wear or which jacket you choose can define your outfit.
Example:
As you can see, the base pieces of this outfit are a simple black top and a satin mini skirt. Nothing groundbreaking, but when you pair it with the right accessories, it comes to life. First of all, an oversized vintage looking jacket is the perfect contrast to the simple base. Brown knee high boots completely pulls the fit together and breaks up the color pattern a little. And of course, to tie in with the boots, a brown shoulder bag. To finish, do not neglect the jewelry! Gold works best with this outfit because of the warm toned pieces. Consider a pair of sheer tights, partly because it’s getting colder but also because it can finish off the look and make it feel complete.
2/3 of How to Look Put Together – Make Up
Just to make sure you’re still with me on the 2/3 method to look put together, if you don’t feel like wearing make up, focus on hair and outfit. But if make up is the part you choose to focus on, here are some tips make you look elegant and put together.
Obviously the make up look you choose to do depends on the occasion. But for simplicity, let’s assume this is an everyday look. We want something simple, efficient and attractive. Of course, I’m talking about the “clean girl” make up.
What is Clean Girl Make Up?
The clean girl aesthetic is something that has been floating around social media, especially TikTok for a while. It basically refers to a simple, minimal, clean, soft style. If we’re talking about make up it means a glowy, bronzy, minimal and essentially clean look.
To achieve a beautiful clean girl make up look, the most essential steps are concealer, bronzer, blush, lipgloss, mascara and eyebrow gel. We want to achieve a sort of “no make up” make up. Pinched cheeks, feathery brows and glossy lips. Liquid products would be preferred to achieve the dewy look we’re aiming for.
Clean Girl Faves
Rare Beauty Blush is one of the most popular liquid blushes right now. Blush adds life to your face and makes you look beautifully sun kissed.
Dior Lip Glow Oil not only gives a beautiful gloss but also hydrates and nurtures your lips. Glossy lips with a hint of color can make you look so attractive and really tie your make up together.
3/3 of How to Look Put Together – Hair
Last but not least, something that can completely transform a look even if you don’t put effort into your outfit or makeup – hair style. The hair can do so much. The key, as usual, is effort. Whether you curl it, straighten it, slick it back, braid it or put it in a clip, doing something rather than just letting it be will dramatically enhance your look. Just focus on which hairstyle goes best with the outfit you’ve chosen.
Example
The classic blowout is a gorgeous, trendy hairstyle right now that pretty much goes with anything. It’s beautiful but doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard. A thermal round brush will do the trick. If you want it to be extra defined, consider hair rollers. If you don’t have time in the morning but still want your hair to look nice, why not try an overnight hair curler which gives a similar result.
