The 8 Points Rule: A Game Changer on Effortless Style

We’ve all had those mornings — staring blankly at our wardrobes, unsure of what to wear. While fashion should be fun, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where this super fun and addictive 8 Points Rule comes in. Started by - up and coming stylist/gone viral on Tiktok - Marissa Fair, offering a simple, stress-free approach to styling that fits perfectly with Volange’s ethos of effortless elegance.
What is the 8 Points Rule?
The 8 Points Rule is a guideline that helps you assemble outfits that strike a balance between basic and bold.
The idea is simple: each item of clothing or accessory is assigned a point value — 1 point for basics, and 2 points for pieces that make more of a statement. Your goal is to keep your entire outfit at around 8 points.
This approach ensures your look is polished without being overdone. It’s a flexible guideline that works for everyone, whether you love minimalist fashion (like we do at Volange!) or prefer something a bit more eye-catching.

 

How Does It Work?
The points system assigns values like this:
1 point for basic items: Think of your everyday essentials like tees, simple jeans, or classic flats.
2 points for standout pieces: This could be a patterned blouse, tailored trousers, or a bold accessory — something that adds interest to your outfit.

 

Here’s an example of how you could style an outfit using Volange pieces and the 8 Points Rule:

 Top Elvie (2 points): The shimmering texture and relaxed fit of this gold-toned blouse instantly elevate any look.
Belt Milano Black (1 point): A classic black belt with a bold buckle adds just the right touch of structure.
Jeans Relax White (1 point): These relaxed-fit white jeans provide the perfect neutral base, making them a versatile staple.
Hoops Aurelia (1 point): Subtle yet eye-catching, these gold hoops add an understated elegance.
Bag Berlingo (2 points): This playful metallic purse brings a burst of color and fun to the ensemble.
Sandals Adele (1 point): These simple yet chic flat sandals keep the look effortless and grounded.

Grand total? 8 points—a well-balanced look that's polished and versatile. 
Why It Works for Volange
I truly believe that fashion is about finding the perfect blend of ease and sophistication. The 8 Points Rule is a great tool for achieving just that. It helps you put together outfits that feel complete, without the need to overthink every choice. And because it’s adaptable, you can make it work for any occasion, whether you’re heading to brunch, the office, or an evening out.
For example, you might usually stick to basics like our go-to striped tees or relaxed fit dresses. But thanks to the 8 Points Rule, you can effortlessly level up your look by adding a statement piece — whether it’s a bold pair of earrings or a patterned blazer. It’s all about balance.

 

Personalise It Your Way
Of course, the beauty of the 8 Points Rule is its flexibility. A maximalist might assign different values than someone with a more minimalist approach. What matters most is how you feel in the outfit. Fashion is personal, and this guideline simply serves as a helpful tool to make your life easier — not a rigid rulebook.
