# Five Pieces, Twelve Outfits: A Short Guide to a Wardrobe That Works
Most closets have plenty of clothes and few outfits. The fix is usually fewer pieces that combine well, not more shopping. Here are five pieces from The BB's Box and what each one does in an outfit.
## The shirt that changes with your shoes
The **Classic Satin Button-Up Shirt** works hard. Tuck it into jeans with white sneakers for the day. Wear it loose over a skirt with heels at night. Roll the sleeves twice if the day is warm.
## A coat that defines the waist
A belt changes the outline of an outfit. The **Belted Wrap Coat** goes over a simple base, a tee and straight trousers, and makes it look put together. Tie the belt in front for a relaxed look, or knot it at the side for a sharper one.
## The layer you can wear alone
The **Belted Linen-Blend Waistcoat** works two ways. Belted on its own, it is a top. Open over a tee, it is a layer. Pair it with the pleated skirt below, or with wide trousers in the same light tone.
## A set that counts as three outfits
Wear the **Linen-Blend Blazer & Trouser Set** together for meetings and dinners. Then split it: the blazer with jeans, the trousers with the satin shirt. One purchase, three looks.
## The skirt that moves
The **Pleated A-Line Midi Skirt** falls past the knee and moves when you walk. With sneakers and a tee it is a weekend outfit. With the satin shirt and heels it works for an evening out.
## Bonus: the easy set
When you don't want to think, the **Color-Block Tank & High-Waist Wide-Leg Pants Set** is already an outfit. Add a bag and go.
## How to try this at home
1. Put the five pieces on the bed.
2. Combine each top with each bottom and take a phone photo of every pairing that works.
3. Save the photos in one album. That album is your outfit list for busy mornings.
