Style up your wardrobe & create your own unique look – words Alexa Wang

Whether you’re looking for a complete make-over, or just want to spruce up your wardrobe, there are a few things you can do, that aren’t time consuming, and don’t require a lot of effort, but can have a major impact on your style. If you’re looking and feeling a bit flat it’s time to style up your wardrobe & create your own unique look.

Make Statement Jewelry the Center Piece of Your Outfit

If you’re not looking for a complete wardrobe overhaul, but you do want to add a little glamour to your outfits, consider investing in statement jewelry. Designer pieces can be the focal point of your outfit, and they actually work better with understated clothes.

Statement jewelry can turn a casual, everyday outfit into a glamorous attire fit for a special social event. You can choose to go for outrageous, unique designs. If that doesn’t sound like you, opt instead for classic pieces made out of novel materials.

Follow Your Instincts

If you have a hard time deciding what to wear in the morning, follow your instincts. There are days when you’re feeling more romantic, and days when you just want to get down to business. Dress accordingly. If you’re having a bad day, don’t force yourself into wearing clothes that make you an uncomfortable. A baggy pair of jeans and a loose chiffon men’s shirt can be just as stylish as frilly dress and high heels. Feeling comfortable is one of the best accessories you can have.

Going by your instincts, you can find a thematic core to your outfits, that’s going to serve as baseline for future experimentation. And experimentation is essential if you want your wardrobe to stand out.

Mix and Match

If you want to add a little bit of sizzle to your outfits, avoid safe combinations. A stripped t-shirt and a pair of jeans might go well together, but doesn’t really stand out. Try mixing it up. The key to matching different prints is in the color. You can easily wear stripes and dots as long as the base colors match.

And it’s not just prints you should consider when choosing how to combine different pieces. Think about the fabrics, and the textures you’re wearing as well. A pair of jeans might be boring in and of itself, but when you combine with a delicate, flowing silk shirt, all of a sudden you’re casual, comfy jeans become a real statement piece.

Find the styles that you feel suit you, and experiment around the basic designs. Find different variations on the outfits which appeal to you, and see how you can alter them just slightly, to craft a different look each day.

Trust Your Accessories

You don’t need a lot to add a little bit of dazzle to your outfit. A few well-chosen, elegant accessories can be enough to style up your casual, everyday outfits.

If you feel like flashy jewelry is not right for you, consider investing in understated pieces, made out of elegant materials, such as gold or silver. A gold bracelet from stores such as Braceletworld or a set of pearl earrings for refined tastes can completely change the overall look of your outfit.

Wear It With Pride

No matter what you choose to wear, you should always wear it with pride. Staying ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion means you’re going to have to experiment. You’re going to have to be bold when it comes to finding your own unique style.

Anything can be made to look stylish, as long as you have the right attitude. Even one of the least hip styles out there, the old socks and sandals combo can be turned into a surprisingly elegant look, as long as you own it.

So if you’re getting bored with your wardrobe, don’t just buy more of the same, but slighter newer clothes and accessories. Try out things you’ve always wanted to, but never dared to. You may be surprised at the results.

Everyone needs an occasional update to their wardrobe. Things fall in and out of fashion so quickly, and so completely, it’s hard to keep up the pace. But this also means that there’s basically room to try out anything you like. Who knows, maybe you’re actually going to stumble upon the next great trend.
