When you can’t keep up with trends, either financially or due to a lack of time and busy work schedule, there are some easy ways to elevate your style without much effort.
1. You might be frustrated at wearing your old clothes and not having updated your wardrobe in a while, but taking care of your clothes will instantly lift up your look. Make sure your outfits are ironed and tailored to flatter your body, and your shoes always cleaned and fixed.
2. Adding an extra detail like a belt to flat outfits such as a plain summer dress will not only make your outfit less boring, but also slim your figure if placed on the most narrow part of your waist. Other accessories you can play with are arm candies, for example vintage bracelets, and a statement, bold necklace.
3. A simple, total black look can appear more glamorous when combined with a classy, colourful coat or with a faux fur. In summer, colourful bags and shoes, or sparkly sandals, will do the job – ditch the sneakers!
4. Play with your hair! If your hair is long, a high, perfectly finished ponytail, chignon or top knot will transform you into a classy woman in just a few minutes. You can also experiment with braids, curls and hair accessories.
5. Neatly tucking in your shirt or blouse can completely change your outfit! While a loose shirt or blouse imply a more juvenile look, having it tucked into your jeans or skirt will elevate your style, conferring the outfit a more professional look.
