Clothing Hacks
1. Knot a button-down shirt to accentuate your waist
While a button-down shirt already looks fab just as it is, show off your silhouette by tying it into a knot on your waist. To upgrade an existing outfit, pair a midi skirt with a cute plaid shirt that is already in your closet. Make sure to tie it in the middle so that you can show off your shape rather than conceal it. The knot effectively ties your ensemble together and gives you a more feminine and chic look.
2. Belt your layers
For a more sophisticated and polished look, belt your layers instead of leaving them hanging. Not only does this give your outfit shape, but it gives a semblance of cohesion to the layers you have incorporated into your outfit. Today, layering is a go-to fashion hack most women resort to when it is cold outside. Furthermore, it gives you the opportunity to make the most use of the existing items in your closet. Should you layer, do not forget to add a belt as this pulls the whole look together and gives you a more refined finish.
3. Cuff your jeans
Sure, your jeans already look bomb as it is but this fan favorite closet staple can easily get an upgrade with ankle cuffs. It is a style trick that has been around quite some time, but it still gives any outfit that instant enhance look. Moreover, it easily gives an outfit you have worn multiple times a fresh and sleek look. Plus, it allows you to showcase your footwear. Be sure to utilize the best technique appropriate to the pants you will be wearing.
4. Stack your rings
If you are all about the bling, then sporting a beringed finger (or even hand in some cases) would be incredibly ideal for you. However, take this look up a notch by stacking up your rings. This fashion trick and hack is especially useful if you already have a myriad of rings in possession. However, be careful about how you stack them as you do not want to appear too bling-y that you would look like an over adorned Christmas tree. Be careful about your placement and stack the different styles appropriately. Lastly, do not go overboard.
5. Cinch a shapeless dress
How do you add glamor to a shapeless dress? Moreover, how do you show your figure? You cinch it at the waist of course! Shapeless dresses might be all the rage now, but they tend to drown your body and make you appear bigger than you actually are. Enhance the outfit and showcase those curves simply by cinching it at the middle and you are good to go.
