A short YouTube styling monologue explaining the concept of a “marrying piece” — an accessory (example: a multi-colored patterned belt) that contains several colors/patterns and visually "marries" disparate outfit elements. The speaker defines the term, shows how a marrying piece can turn a disjointed outfit into a cohesive look, and advises building outfits around such pieces.
Lately, there's one piece of advice I've been giving a majority of my one on one styling clients, and it's this. Find marrying pieces in your wardrobe. Now, are you wondering what the f Are Marrying pieces? Halle, I'm gonna tell you. Don't worry. So a marrying piece is something like this belt. It's often something that has pattern and multiple colors, and this is the reason it's so important. All right. My. My outfit has interest, right? But I'm wearing gray. I'm wearing sh. Like a white. I'm wearing black. I put in a little, like, toffee color. But what brings it all together? It's the belt with all these colors in it that are the marrying. It's the marrying piece. It's the thing that marries it all together. It's important in home design, and it's also important in styling. Wardrobe styling. Because if not things, it's like, it works, but it's like a little disjointed and then tada. Oh my gosh. It totally works. Right? So think about what pieces you have in your wardrobe that are marrying pieces. You can use that as the starting point and then build your outfit around it.
