We’ve all been there—standing in front of a full closet and feeling like we’ve got nothing to wear. It’s not that you don’t have enough clothes; it’s just that everything feels a bit too familiar. While sure, every wardrobe needs the essentials for every season-based wardrobe, there are issues with that, too— being too familiar.
But the idea of buying a whole new wardrobe? That’s not only expensive but also pretty wasteful. No matter what aesthetic you love, you need to be sustainable and think about the planet. So, if you’re bored of your clothes (for now), and you want to dress up in something a bit different, what could you do? Well, honestly, you don’t need to overhaul your closet to refresh your style. There are plenty of ways to mix things up that don’t require a single new purchase.
So, with that all said, here are some easy and fun ways to shake up your style and feel excited about your look again.
It’s the Power of the Little Things
Honestly, it’s all going to start right with the accessories. They basically have the magical ability to transform an outfit from “meh” to “wow” in seconds. If you’re feeling like your outfits are stuck in a rut, try experimenting with different accessories. For example, you can start with what you already have—chunky necklaces, bold earrings, layered bracelets, or even a statement belt can do wonders. And if you’re looking to make a more significant change, why not consider adding a visible piercing to your look?
So yes, piercings (real ones, at least) are a bit of an investment. No, not in terms of cost, but in terms of time to make sure there are no infections, it stays comfortable, no scarring, and yes, making sure the piercing itself doesn’t heal up. So, you have your earrings, and just about every part of the ear can be pierced, but why not take it up a notch?
For example, why not septum piercings? Sure, they’re edgy, but at the same time, they’re fun, and they can probably take your clothes to a whole new level. Besides, septum piercing rings and clickers can completely change the vibe of your look.
Consider Something with Your Hair
Needless to say, this is the ultimate accessory that’s always with you. How you style your hair can have a huge impact on your overall look. The same outfit can go from casual to chic depending on whether you’ve got your hair up, down, or styled in a way that complements your clothes.
If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try out a new hairstyle? But if you love your hair the way it is (totally understandable), then your hair accessories could be something to help make it a little more fun. For example, a cute hat can add some personality to a basic outfit, while a ribbon tied to your hair can create a playful and feminine touch. These are two examples, but overall, it’s something you could roll with.
Try Tucking Your Clothes
Seriously, never underestimate the power of a good tuck! It’s a small adjustment that can change the silhouette of your outfit, making it feel fresh and new. Plus, depending on what you’re wearing, it can help make you look a little more polished.
There’s the Art of Rolling
So, this is basic, but it works! So, just look into rolling up the cuffs of your jeans or your sleeves is a simple trick that can completely change the proportions of your outfit. Some clothes, like skinny jeans, are far more easier to roll and fold up compared to wide leg jeans for example. So be sure to take that into account.
