Simple Ways to Update Your Outfit

If you fancy a change from your current style then you don’t need to completely change your wardrobe, which, fun as it sounds would be pretty expensive. There are quite a few ways you can update your outfit that don’t cost a fortune. So, if you’re on a budget and you want to make just a few simple changes, try out our top tips…

Make use of seasonal scarves

Long gone are the days where scarves represented the cold, winter months. These days you will find a wide variety of statement scarves on the market to suit year-round use. Investing in a few different styles ensures you have something to suit every outfit. As featured on AllWomensTalk, scarves can give an outfit an instant lift. If you’re looking for a summer look, opt for a light, silky variation. Chunky, knitted scarves on the other hand are perfect for fall and winter styles.

Make a statement with your shoes

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend but, if that’s true, shoes definitely come a close second. Statement heels are a fantastic way to update your outfit. Metallic shades are particularly popular this season and can help to really glam up your look. Platform and glitter heels are also on-trend. The right pair of heels can really make or break a look and breathe new life into an existing outfit so make sure you choose wisely.

Focus on layering

One of the best fashion tips you can follow is to layer your look. By investing in a few key pieces, you can mix and match your clothes to create numerous unique outfits. If you need to buy new clothes, take advantage of discount end of season sales. As featured on About Style, stores tend to eliminate excess end of season stock at ridiculously low prices. The chances are, they will still be in fashion the same time next year.

Layering is something you can do all year round. In summer focus on lightweight materials such as silk and cotton. Then in winter switch to chunky knits.

It’s all in the finishing touches

Accessories are everything in the fashion world. Whether it’s a designer bag, statement necklace or a well-placed brooch. Jewelry is a particularly great way to update an outfit. Bracelets are not only affordable but they can really help to boost confidence and create a beautiful focal point to balance out your look. If you want to ensure you’re on trend this season, opt for a charming monogram bracelet. Available in a wide choice of designs, you should easily be able to give a lift to any outfit in your wardrobe.

Overall, no matter how much money you have to spend, you can always afford to update your outfit. Simply mixing and matching your look is often all you need to create a fresh, unique style. It also helps to give your wardrobe a mini clear-out. Get rid of anything that no longer fits and restock by taking advantage of end of season sales. Most importantly of all, ensure you have a good collection of accessories. These will make the biggest difference to any outfit in a simple and cost effective way.
