Struggling to feel fashionable in last year’s clothes but can’t afford to buy a whole new wardrobe? These six tips will refresh your boring closet and leave you feeling like a fashionable woman. You don’t have to break the bank to update your style. A few subtle changes can make a huge difference and give your old outfits an instant update to boost your confidence:
1. Add statement sunglasses
Statement sunglasses can be the very thing to complete a look. Go bold with large sunglasses that demand attention or keep it cool with a pair of rimless frames. Solid color outfits can be made exciting with a pop of color on the face or tone things down with a basic black frame. Don’t be afraid to clash colors and make your own statement.
2. Wear bold colored shoes or boots
Again, it’s all about adding new flair. Accessories like boots or shoes are what make an outfit. Imagine a basic black skirt and blouse with a gorgeous blue pump or red boots. It’s about turning the old into new and exciting. Bold colors are a great way to do that.
3. Use stacked jewelry for a layered look
Stacking necklaces and bracelets is fun and chic. Wearing several necklaces in various lengths and the same tone is a beautiful accessory to any outfit. Bracelets can be thick and chunky with some dainty pieces in between. Ideally, you’ll want to keep the stacked bracelets to just one wrist.
4. Dress up denim
Jeans are a staple in the wardrobe. They are comfortable and can be worn for a day at the ballpark or on a date when dressed up properly. Adding flashy heels to denim is one way to take an old pair of jeans up a notch. Brightly colored ankle boots are another great option. Add sparkle with a pretty blouse or get wild with an animal print handbag, scarf, or shoes.
5. Use belts to create a silhouette
Belts can be a woman’s best friend. You can create a beautiful silhouette with a belt at the waist. A belt can take a work outfit to a date outfit in seconds. Adding a belt to a bulky sweater is a nice way to create a peplum look while creating a nice shape. Belting a jacket is also very stylish. Belts are versatile and can be worn with just about anything.
6. Use handbags to accessorize
Typically, you choose your handbag based on what you are doing for the day. A handbag is an amazing accessory. Go big and bold to add pizazz or keep it subtle and clean with a neutral tone. How you carry the bag is another way to change up an old look. Remove the shoulder strap and carry it or use the shoulder strap for a sporty, crossbody messenger style.
Updating your look to reflect today’s fashion trends isn’t hard. A few accessories can make the difference between tired and boring to updated and exciting.
