If you aren't experienced at dressing up your old clothes to add a little new life to them, your outfits can quickly become boring. However, these seven easy tips can help you to add a little excitement to your whole wardrobe at very little expense.
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. Use a scarf to accentuate the neck of your outfit and draw attention to your beautiful face and smile. The scarf should be a splash of colour that will complement your outfit, but will also update the look. If you have a gray dress or sweater, try a yellow, green, or blue scarf for a little punch of colourful style. You can knot the scarf or secure it with a pretty pin to make it sizzle even more.
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. 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 least expensive and simplest ways to change the look of your old clothing is to dye them 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. 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.
It is worth the effort and time it takes to use tips like these to make your own ordinary outfit into a stunning fashion original. This allows you to keep on budget instead of going broke and lets you express your own fashion sense and design style.
