Style & Life · the capsule multiplier

Six tops, three bottoms. eighteen photographed looks

The book chapter uses three bottoms and seven tops (21). The multiplication is the same. This page shows the seminar capsule in photographs.

Contact sheet of eighteen looks. Six tops repeat across a midi skirt, maxi skirt, and sand linen trousers.

Why the rule is “change the top”

The top sits in the portrait zone, nearest the face. Change the top and the outfit changes. Change only the bottom and the room files it as the same look.

Six × three = 18, but only because the six are tops. The styling lesson is knowing which factor the eye counts.

The multiplication keeps going

Two months in, the capsule is still minting new looks.

The tops combine with each other. The strip pictures the shirt under the knit, and the blazer over either the shirt or the knit. There is no invented layered total because not every pair layers.
