Fashion math: why 7 or 8 is the magic number

What if your wardrobe came with a scorecard? TikTok is buzzing again with the 7 or 8 Point Rule, a clever styling trick that helps you balance your outfit to perfection. The idea is simple: every visible item you wear adds a point, from bold earrings to textured fabrics or standout shoes. Hit seven or eight points for a flawless look; dip below six and things may fall flat, go over ten and you risk doing too much. At MMBSY, we’re all about helping you find that sweet spot. With the pieces below, our brands bring just the right amount of flair, texture, or pop, so your outfit always lands just right.
