Low Cost Ways to Level Up Your Wardrobe

Have you ever stared into your closet, frustrated that you have nothing to wear? If you have, you’re not alone.

Normally, you might decide to buy more clothes, but that isn’t always the best solution. Especially if you’re trying to be budget-conscious and fashion-conscious.

The good news is that you should have plenty of wardrobe essentials. Use these foundation pieces to switch up your look even when you’re wearing the same outfit. Not convinced? Here are some budget friendly fashion tips to help. 

Layering 

Layering is the perfect way to make the same outfit look completely different. While most people think about layering in the fall and winter, this style can also work really well during the warmer months. Start with your favorite wardrobe basics, such as a T-shirt and jeans or your favorite leggings. From there, combine these pieces with colorful cardigans, bold scarves, or even a blazer. These are great ways to dress your outfit up or dress it down, depending on where you’re going. 

Tuck It In 

If it’s too hot to layer but you still want to give your outfit a new twist, why not try tucking it in? This approach is a simple but effective idea that’s perfect for a variety of tops. Tucking works to update tunic tops for women as well as those patterned dress shirts you love to pull out for lazy days.

Many people consider tucking in to have a more formal feel, but that isn’t necessarily the case.  Tuck in the front of your top and leave the back to hang loose and low for a modern update. You could also try the trend of tucking in one side of a button down shirt and leaving the front tail of the opposite side out for a more casual look and feel.  

Accessorize 

Accessorizing is another great chance to mix up your wardrobe and make your outfit look a little different. Even if you’re wearing the same thing every time you go out to meet friends and family, you can still make it look fresh and unique. Different jewelry, such as necklaces or earrings, can go a long way in creating different looks. It’s easy to style something elegantly or a more chill boho look by changing a necklace, adding bracelets, and even your handbag and shoe choices.

You can also change your watch band to suit the occasion. Leather straps are great for chic looks and even formal occasions, while silicone watch bands are great for running errands and day to day wear.

Change Your Shoes 

Have you ever looked in your shoe closet and realized just how many shoes you had? It can feel overwhelming at times. However, much like accessories, different shoes command different vibes. High heels with your favorite jeans and a blazer looks refined and makes people take notice, while sneakers, like Converse or Vans, are the perfect casually chic day-to-day option.

Hair and Makeup 

Although your hair and makeup aren’t exactly part of your outfit, they do affect your overall look. From a loose bun to straight hair to or even a fun fishtail braid, your hair says a lot about you and your outfit. The same can be said about your makeup. The clean girl trend gives your look a completely different feel than a smoky eye and bold lip would. You can say a lot about your outfit simply by how you decide to present yourself. 

Subtle Differences 

These updates might be subtle, but they can make a significant impact on your style. Even though you’re wearing what is basically the same outfit, the small changes make it look fresh. With this information, you can mix and match your wardrobe for any occasion, and you’ll feel right at home in most social settings.
