Could a 'Shirt Sandwich' Pull You Out of a Fashion Rut?

A Future graphic of shirt sandwiches from The Row, Victoria Beckham, Leandra Medine Cohen, and Miu Miu.

So, your style is feeling stale. To find some inspiration, you could read a trend report. Maybe scour street style images or peruse your favorite shopping site. For Leandra Medine Cohen, it was none of those things. Instead, she found her personal fashion revival in the form of a "shirt sandwich"—a layering technique consisting of “two shirts (typically a lightweight turtleneck and a knit layer) and a third shirt," as she explains to Marie Claire.

Some may have thought it impossible that the author of The Cereal Aisle, a newsletter “about how to get dressed,” could get stuck in a stalemate with her wardrobe. Medine Cohen is seen somewhat like a maximalist jukebox: Push "subscribe" to her Substack, and you're rewarded with outfit ideas so divinely fabulous that you'll feel moved to dance. Long before celebrities chalked up the nerve to go pants-free, Medine Cohen was strolling around the Upper East Side in sparkly tights, itty-bitty leather hot pants, and red hot Valentino pumps. Trendsetter feels too soft a term.
