It seems as though there’s a new TikTok trend on the hour, with aesthetics like Twee, Indie Sleaze and Coastal Grandma simmering down just as quickly as they spiked. Keeping up with the latest ‘-core’ can be draining on both brain and bank account, and while we love any excuse to experiment, it can sometimes feel like we’re jamming ourselves into whatever’s trending just because. So imagine the sigh of relief when the Three Word Method popped up on our #FYP.
Coined by New York-based stylist Allison Bornstein, the Three Word Method does what it says on the tin: boils down your personal aesthetic into just three simple words. Life changing for those who struggle to articulate their style, the Three Word Method serves as a sounding board when shopping for new outfits and styling existing ones. Does that new IT piece or micro-trend align with your three words? Yes? It might just score a spot in your wardrobe. No? Then move on.
The best bit about the Three Word Method? It can be whatever comes to mind when you think of your favourite styles. They don’t need to be similar. They don’t need to be fancy. They just need to resonate with looks that you love. To show you just how easy it is to nail down your three words, we took the hack for a test drive with some of our favourite style icons.
