When you look in your mirror, what do you see? Do you see a tired, outdated style or are you confidently sporting a trendy, flattering outfit? Do you want to try a new style, but not sure where to start? If you want to up your fashion game, we have a few simple tips you can use to give your wardrobe a makeover and shake up your personal style:
Simple Ways To Shake Up Your Style
See Things Differently
One of the easiest ways to revamp your current style is to shop your closet. Take a look at some of your favorite pieces (tops and bottoms, skirts, sweaters and accessories like belts and hats) and see what you can mix and match. Just because you're set on wearing that gray cable knit sweater with black slacks doesn't mean it wouldn't look amazing paired with a black pencil skirt. Experiment with what you have and you can no doubt double your outfit ideas in no time!
Don't Be A Slave To Seasons
Most of us have clothes that we wear in the spring/summer and clothes that we wear in fall/winter. If you’re looking to shake up your style, why not break those rules and wear whatever you want, whenever you want? Tank tops and camisoles work perfectly under blazers and cardigans. . A lightweight knit sweater you might typically reserve for warmer weather can work in cooler weather when layered over a crisp button down. Chunky boots with a sundress? Yes, please! Breaking the rules is a wonderful way to shake up your style.

See A Tailor
If you purchase well-made garments off the rack, chances are they will need a bit of altering to fit you just right. Blazers, slacks, skirts and dresses may need to be hemmed or taken in (or-gasp-let out) to get that made-for-you fit. Instead of wearing your clothing as is, see a seamstress. It's not overly expensive to tailor clothing (most simple alterations start around $20).
Try New Colors
There was a time in my life where I only wanted to wear black. Black pants, tops, sweaters, skirts, etc...but that lasted about a week. Not only did I feel like Morticia Addams, I felt sad. It just wasn't for me. If it's for you--great! But I would strongly recommend that you at least incorporate pops of color to your wardrobe, such as colorful scarf, a sparkly brooch or a floral camisole.
Have you ever had a color analysis? Trained consultants can help you identify the colors that look best on you, often grouped according to the seasons. For example, I am a "cool summer". That means I look best in silver jewelry, and cooler toned clothing items like lavender, pink and ice blue.
