Styling Hacks to Upgrade Your Look

Styling Hacks to Upgrade Your Look

Instagram fashion influencers often make it seem like they have an unlimited wardrobe at their disposal. Yet, top fashion bloggers are making statements without having to reach for their pocket books. Reimagine your entire wardrobe with these quick and easy fashion hacks:

1. Mix and match prints
It’s the perfect time to bring out the prints in your closet. Make a statement by creating added layers and depth to your style. When putting together an outfit it’s not so much about making things match as it is finding pieces that complement each other. Start off subtly with accessories adding bags, belts, and earring in different textures and prints. Grow bolder by pairing florals with graphics for a bohemian style look or stripes and animal prints for a more sophisticated style.

2. Waist-cinch with a belt
Body positivity is in and what better way to celebrate than accentuating your curves. Waist cinching belts work to elongate the bottom half and draw attention to your smallest feature. Try out this trend with a baggy t-shirt or oversized dress. Instagram influencer fashion inspiration is about getting creative. Ditch the Gucci belt for a DIY vintage option. The use of rope, tassels, scarves, and metal chains are on the rise and add a unique touch to your closet.

3. Wear a statement necklace
Dress up your everyday look with a statement necklace. It enhances your natural features by drawing attention to your best accessory, your face. One of the best ways to achieve this look is layering necklaces of different lengths. Pendant chokers paired with a mid length initial necklaces, mixed metals, and colors are on trend. Add to the statement by making it meaningful. Find special pieces that you love and tell a story.

4. Roll up those jeans
No need to go out and buy new jeans when cuffing your jeans can transform your entire look. Look longer and thinner by showing off a bit of the ankle. The light wash of the inside of the pant contrasted with the dark denim will create an aesthetically pleasing look. It will make a nice line from the shoe to the pant as well. You can do this with any type of fitted, boot cut, or “mom” jean.

5. Layer appropriately
This 90’s trend isn’t going away anytime soon. One of the most popular trends is the layered look. It goes without saying that this style may change season to season but one look that will stand the test of time is pairing a shirt underneath or over a dress. Layering bright bold colors with a dark neutral will stand out. The “boyfriend” look is another popular trend which can be achieved by pairing oversized and baggy clothes with form fitted options.

6. Knot over-sized shirts
The easiest of all easy fashion hacks. Go from boxy to fitted all by tying a knot in the front of the shirt. Create a flattering crop top without damaging your shirt. This is a stylish alternative to the french tuck technique that helps accentuate the waist line. It also comes in handy when the shirt is too bulky to tuck in.
