The answer is 6. Now, how did I get this answer?
Simple, just multiply the numbers.
1 x 3 x 2 = 6
Why does this work? Well, it's pretty much common sense. You have 1 pair of sneakers, and that will go with 3 different t-shirts. Right there, you have 3 different incomplete outfits. Now, these 3 incomplete outfits could each go with 2 pairs of jeans, so you multiply it by 2.
Now, if you ever get a question such as:
There are four people in line. How many combinations are there for them to stand?
It is almost the same concept.
The equation would look like (exclamation point is intended as part of the equation):
4!
Now, the ! means that you will multiply the number by one less than the number, than one more less than that one, then one more less, and so on untill you get to 1.
So 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
The answer would be 24. Those four people could stand 24 different ways.
Good luck!

1 (sneakers) x 3 (tees) x 2 (jeans) = 6
assuming you must wear 1 from each catagory, otherwise
the answer is complicated:
0 items worn 1
1 item worn 6
2 items worn 11
3 items worn 6
4 items worn 13
5 items worn 6
6 items worn 1
total 44
it's complicated if all the parameters are not given!
