(As written for On The Coast Families) Do you often look at your day to day outfit and feel that is it a bit plain, overly common and doesn’t release excitement in you?
Even the most simplistic of outfits can have interest added to unleash that “wow” factor, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot (if anything) or require an entire new wardrobe.
How? You may ask…
With a bit of creativity, a touch of the new season accessory knowledge and a dash of bravery to try something new you can make your outfit interesting in a heartbeat!
Interesting Outfit Additives
- Play with textures. Instead of a plain tee or singlet add ina crochet top or lace tank. Swap out a denim skirt for a tulle or one with fringing detail.
- Add in flowers! This Spring/Summer 3D florals are a HUGE fashion trend. So add them to the strap of a tank top, wear them as a necklace, or pin one in your hair.
- Tie a scarf around your ponytail or if you are clever enough, braid it into a plait.
- Wear one bold hue head to toe! Just ensure it is a perfect for your colour palette and if a solid colour head to toe is too much then add the colour in tones of the hue.
- Layer with a statement belt. Chain belts, waist belts, hipster belts… you name it, belts are BACK!
- Mix your prints. TIP: stick to the three colour rule; never wear more than three colours at one time and ensure your prints are of similar tones/hues. Note; your print is classified as one colour!
- Over accessorise. Rings, necklaces, cuffs, earrings, you name it – wear it in multitudes and layer up!
- Opt for a coloured nail polish or even try several different shades if that is your style.
- Top your look off with a cap. Caps are great for bad hair days, sun protection and to add an edgy interest to your outfit.
Featured are some style inspiration shots to help you visualise ways you can add interest to your outfit.
So be brave and have the confidence to try something new – your future self will thank you for it!
Vibrantly yours,
