We all know it: the wardrobe is full, but somehow nothing feels right. The oneis too playful, the blazer is too strict, the jeans have the perfect seat, but don't really fit the rest. And so we are at a loss in front of a closet full of almost perfect parts - with the indefinite feeling that our style has been lost somewhere between the hangers. What we actually want is a personal handwriting that survives fashion trends and prevents incorrect purchases. A style that does not trigger a fashionable crisis every morning, but is clearly defined, works effortlessly and really feels like ourselves.
This is exactly where the Three-Word Method from Allison Bornstein comes in. The style consultant has developed a simple but brilliant formula to get your own style in a nutshell: three words that describe who we want to be fashionable. Terms that serve as a fashion compass for future purchases, styling decisions and the perfect wardrobe. Sounds too good to be true? Then it is time to find your own Three-Word formula-because fashion has never been so easy and so individual at the same time.

Simply to your own capsule Wardrobe: this is behind the Three-Word Method
You have also experienced this before: a trend piece that looks breathtaking on a model ends up full of euphoria in the shopping bag - only to hang in the closet for months. Why? Because it doesn't really suit you at all. The perfect Capsule Wardrobe, i.e. a wardrobe of timeless, versatile favorite parts, often seems like an unreachable fashion utopia. Too many styles, too many options, too many. And this is exactly where the Three-Word Method comes into play: a method that promises to put your own style to the point, make it easier to make buying decisions and finally free us from the "I have nothing to attract" dilemma.
But what exactly is behind it? Is it a complicated style analysis with questionnaires and color pallets? Do you have to be a fashion expert or muck out your closet radically? Not at all! The Three-Word Method is so simple that you almost wonder why you didn't get it yourself.

Three-Word Method: This is how the viral hack works with which you avoid incorrect purchases forever
The principle behind the Three-Word Method by Allison Bornstein is amazingly simple-and that's why it is so ingenious. It is about finding three words that aptly describe your own style and serve as a guide for every future purchase and styling decision. And this is how it works:
1. Baseline Word:
The first word describes your own look in the here and now - what you like to wear anyway. Are they rather classic, minimalist, sporty or playful? It is one word that best summarizes your style.
2. Aspirational Word:
The second word stands for the style you want or to come closer. Maybe you would like to have a touch of elegance in your wardrobe or a little more edge? Scroll throughthat you like, or describe the look of your favorite style icon.
3. Emotional Word:
This word describes how you want to feel in your look. You are welcome to become creative here, no feeling is too big or unlikely. This word is the unexpected twist that gives your look personality and makes it unique.

The best thing about the method? It is flexible and develops with them. Your three words can change over time, as your style, life and preferences change. They help shop more consciously, to filter trends and create a cloakroom that really suits them. So if you are back to the question at the next shopping trip: "Do I really need that?", You can simply remember your three words. If the new favorite part fulfills them - buy! Unless? Then prefer to continue searching. Because fashion should be fun and do not provide cupboards.
