For the Proud Outfit Repeater: Multi-Way Clothes

The ultimate safe-spacing wardrobe hack? Clothes that do double (or quadruple) the duty. Consider your “nothing to wear” days solved!

By Moira Del Rosario 6 hours ago

Multi-way clothes aren’t exactly new. Usually in dress form, they’ve popped up throughout modern history, from the runways of Issey Miyake and Rei Kawakubo to the late-night infomercials selling to the practical modern woman: the Infinity Dress (which only really offers 30 looks). What used to be a joke in the ’90s has now become a practical solution for the woman who’d rather not spend thousands of pesos on a dress they’ll only wear once.

The appeal lies in its versatility. While not infinite, one piece can transform into several looks, giving you more styling options without crowding your closet. It’s like getting multiple outfits for the price of one, which makes them a great excuse for the proud outfit repeater. From convertible tops to interchangeable skirt panels, these versatile pieces are worth adding to your wardrobe—saving you space, money, and countless “nothing to wear” dilemmas.

Rags2Riches’ 4-Way A-Line Skirt

The secret to repeating outfits is keeping them fresh. Enter Rags2Riches’ 4-Way A-Line Skirt—a smart, stylish piece you can wear multiple ways with just a zip or a slight twist. Featuring four zippered panels in different fabrics and colors such as denim, black, and white, you can switch up your look by mixing, matching, and adding slits for extra flair. It’s perfect for everyday wear, and the best part? No one will even notice you’re wearing the same skirt for two days in a row. Technically, it’s not the same skirt if you rotate it a different way or use a different-colored panel.

Nin & Yang’s Tagpi Top

While not as impressive as a four-way skirt, Nin and Yang’s Tagpi Top makes up for it with bold design. The top itself creates visual interest with its asymmetrical silhouette, three-tone denim, and adjustable ties. The Tagpi top can be worn in two ways: Tie the dainty ribbons at the front for a soft coquette moment, or flip them to the back for a bolder, more structured look. Versatile and visually striking, it’s a conversation-starter you can pair with anything you own.

Beyond Collective’s Halo-Halo Four-Way Top

Who said you can’t wear your top inside-out? Beyond Collective’s Halo-Halo Four-Way Top challenges reversible fashion, featuring Sabrina necklines, dainty fastenings, and a cheeky cutout. One side features adjustable ribbons that you can tie in front; flip it for a cutout detail at the front and pretty bows at the back. The other two ways? Turn it inside-out and you get a fresh colorway, giving you four distinct looks from one piece. It’s essentially four tops in one—making it the ultimate wardrobe hack.

The beauty of multi-way fashion is in its endless styling potential. Outfit repeating has never looked this chic, and these convertible pieces are proof that you can do more with less, and actually have fun along the way.

Consider this your sign to snag that reversible top or multi-way skirt — your wardrobe (and future outfit dilemmas) will thank you. Hang them next to your Infinity Dress and call it the start of a collection.
