Color sandwiching

Colour sandwiching is repeating one colour at the top and bottom of an outfit, bookending a different colour in the middle, so the eye reads the look as balanced and intentional. It's a simple trick for tying an outfit together through colour placement.

By echoing a colour at both ends — say, a white tee and white shoes around blue jeans — you create visual symmetry that makes even simple pieces look coordinated. The repeated colour frames the one in the middle.

It's a quick, low-effort cousin of colour blocking and monochrome dressing, leaning on placement rather than bold contrast.
