i keep telling my daughter this!
she wears rings on a few of her fingers...nice ones - but you cant appreciate the quality of each ring..as it is surrounded by lots of other rings...so i say less is more...you can appreciate the good one if you dont wear SO many...it will stand out as a nice piece of jewellery.
does that make sense..not sure if i explained it ok?!

Depends on how you use it. For example:
You want to get people to use less of a product and you demonstrate that the product is not big but has the ability to hold more or is much stronger than what it was before or it is doing more with less effort.
Dish liquid, clothes detergent, bleach and similar items are now concentraded so you use less because it is doing now more than the product that is not concentrated. It has more cleaning agents concentrated in smaller amounts so that you can now save one the product by using a bit less to wash or clean more and this way you do not have to run out to buy more all the time.
Hope this helped you out.

This could be viewed from an economic perspective whereby the cost of certain goods are far more than the what is received by the consumer. In other words, it's costs a lot more for something which maybe very less or meagre in quantity and value.

It means sometimes something simple makes more of a statement than something fancy and ostentatious. For example, a woman who is trying to dress fancy for a black-tie event will always look more elegant if she sticks to a basic dress that flatters her figure and just one signature piece of jewelry, than a woman who piles on everything in her jewelry box on top of a ruffly, sequined nightmare of a dress. Even if her stuff cost mre than the other lady's, she'll still look sort of cheaper and ridiculous.

It means that sometimes you can get more accomplished or things will turn out better by not overdoing it.

Don't overdo something, sometimes the most subtle option is the best.

it means that going over the top can make things worse.

Less (simple, uncomplicated) is better than more (overcomplicated, excessive).

It means you should avoid complexity and aim for more simplicity.
