Outfits can begin to look a little dated and boring if you don't know how to add life and sparkle to your clothing. You can jazz up your entire wardrobe without spending a fortune with these seven fun and easy tips.
1. While fitted waists are the rage right now many women forego this figure friendly look, because they fear that it may make them look larger in size. Actually, flowing garments that do not fit well make people look bigger. You can use a scarf, neck chains, or a belt to loosely cinch the waist of a loosely fitting garment. This will enhance your figure as well as the entire look of your outfit.
2. Scarves are a great accessory - they can draw attention to your face and decorate the neck of your outfit. Use a scarf which adds a little colour in a complimentary manner to your outfit. For example, a gray dress works well with a green, blue or yellow scarf to add a splash of colour. Try knotting the scarf or using a decorative pin to secure it for even more added appeal.
3. You can use old costume beaded necklaces to add zip to your blouses and sweaters, mix and match them in unusual combinations. You can even use these beads and hot glue them in patterns to sweaters, vests, and blouses to create new styles and looks. Many of these pieces of costume jewellery can add just the right fashion splash to take a dreary and boring black sweater to new heights. Let your imagination lead you or look at some of the latest catwalk photos for inspiration and design ideas.
4. Experiment with new looks by mixing and matching various textures and fabrics. You can try silks with tweeds and leather to create stylish combinations which can fit any look. Remember, many of the old fashion rules no longer apply - go ahead an experiment!
5. One of the least expensive and simplest ways to change the look of your old clothing is to dye them different colours.
6. Add feathers, fake fur, or leather trim to pockets, collars, and waistbands and see how they add spice to certain garments that you may already own. Hats are great fashion statements and you can find one that will give a totally new look to any of your older outfits.
7. Have a look through your closets and pull out the clothes which fit you best. These will be the basis of your new look for the season. If these clothes are solid dark colours, then look for brightly coloured accents and accessories to enliven them with. While monotones can look great sometimes, there are almost always better with a colourful accent like a bright scarf or sparkly pin.
You should always remember that fashions and styles are continually changing and you can look at some of the latest fashion magazines to see what older looks are 'in' again.
You'll need to put a little effort into dressing up your old wardrobe to create a new look, but you'll want to pat yourself on the back afterward for getting a whole new look for little to no money. - 16759
