Third pieces I'm wearing
Picking the perfect third piece can make all the difference in the world when it comes to your look. It can literally make or break your outfit.
In today's post I'm sharing three of my favorite third pieces of the season. And yes, all happen to be denim jackets. One happens to be a colorful denim jacket... "Lollipop" to be exact. Just as an aside, colorful denim is having a moment in 2022 and I am here for it.
As you'll see, while all three jackets are made from the same material the different colors and styles of each add a little something unique in their own right. Keep on scrolling to see what I mean...

What is a third piece?
A third piece, also known as a "topper piece". "outfit completer", "outfit maker" is a piece of clothing or accessory when paired with a top and bottom or dress competes your look.
Third pieces can take everyday basics and instantly turn them into an interesting outfit with pizazz by elevating your style and letting you add a little extra personality into the mix.
You may have also heard of the "Rule of Three" in fashion. This is a style rule that states to finish off a look, especially if you're wearing a basic top (the first element) and a basic bottom (the second element) simply add a third piece (the third element) to add a little something that enhances the look.
In short, a third piece makes an everyday outfit a memorable outfit.
What are examples of third pieces?
A third piece can be a piece of clothing or accessory including a blazer, cardigan, vest, jacket, coat, jewelry, belt, hat, scarf and so much more.
Generally speaking, anything that adds interest to your outfit or makes a style statement can be used as a third piece.
As you'll see below, in all three outfits I put together each combination has its own unique look simply by changing out the third piece.
