We all know how it is - your old outfits are getting a little dull and you're starting to think it's about time to go shopping to update your wardrobe. Before you do, try these seven tips - you can actually give your old wardrobe an entirely new look with these seven easy tips; best of all, you can do this with little or no money.
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 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. Try mixing textures and fabrics for some original looks. Tweeds can go with leather and silks to add a new feel and high fashion appeal to many outfit combinations. Remember that today many of the older fashion rules no longer exist, so play with your clothing and experiment with different and unusual combinations of tops and bottoms as well as a mixture of fabric materials.
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.
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. - 16651
