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. 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. 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.
Of course, styles and fashions are in constant flux - keep an eye on fashion magazines to see what looks have come back into style.
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. - 15465
