Welcome to the Nothing To Wear Edit where each week we curate the best picks from the topic we spoke about on the podcast. Listen to the full episode here.
I feel that a throw on and go dress — or a TOAG as I like to call them — truly is the answer to your wardrobe woes.
Sunday scaries? TOAG.
Vacay packing? TOAG.
Last minute plans? TOAG.
Feeling meh? TOAG.
The humble TOAG is what I reach for when I'm craving a comfy yet elevated look that requires zero mental load — which is 99 per cent of the time!

What makes a great TOAG? Well, it's not just any old dress. Key features that make it actually require zero planning are:
Comfy undies and everyday bra-proof
Interesting prints and colours and or eye-catching silhouettes which require little additional styling
Easy to care for fabrics. No need to dry clean after every wear.
Oh, and if dresses aren't your thing, just apply the above thinking to pieces you do like to wear. Maybe your TOAG piece is a jumpsuit, maxi skirt or wide-leg pants. It's that little wardrobe secret weapon that will get you out the door, quickly and confidently.
On this week's episode of Nothing To Wear, I spoke with host Leigh Campbell about all the ways to make your wardrobe work harder for you. And what better way to do that than to make an entire outfit out of one piece clothing!?
