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 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 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 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 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. - 16003
