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 may be the thing at the moment, a lot of women steer clear of them since they fear that these garments will make them look bigger. It's actually quite the opposite - fitted waists flatter your figure; it is loose garments which can make you look heavier. Try taking a scarf, a belt or even a necklace and making a belt for some of those loose fitting garments - looks better, doesn't it?
2. Scarves have a million different uses; you can use them as colourful accents which draw attention to your face and add some interest to an otherwise drab outfit. Take a gray dress and add a yellow or green scarf to add an exciting splash of colour. Try knotting your scarf or pinning it with a colourful pin for even more aesthetic appeal.
3. You probably already have plenty of beaded costume jewellery necklaces around. Try wearing them in different combinations to jazz up your old outfits. You can even remove the beads and hot glue them to clothing in patterns of your own design. An old beaded costume necklace can turn a boring blouse into your new favourite.
4. Make a whole new look by mixing different fabrics and textures. Try leather with silks and tweeds to make a fashionable combination which can work in many different situations. A lot of the old rules of fashion have been discarded, so don't be afraid to experiment with new looks.
5. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to totally transform the look of old clothing is to dye it in different colours.
6. Dress up your collars, waistbands and pockets with eye catching accents like fake fur, feathers and leather. These can add a lot of zest to clothes you already own. Don't forget hats either - these accents can change the look of an outfit.
7. Go through your wardrobe and find the articles that fit you well and these will form the foundation of this season's outfits. If you have dark solid colours, choose splashes of bright colour or prints with accessories. Monotone colours can work in some instances, but even an all black outfit can gain a lot from an oversized pin that is colourful and sparkly. A vibrant purple or teal collared scarf or sweater will also add a needed zip.
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.
The time and effort needed to put these tips to use in creating a whole new look out of the clothes you already have is well worth it. You can have a great and individual style while keeping your spending to an absolute minimum. - 16463
