Five Things You can do Right Now to Freshen Up Your Style

Ready to freshen up your style?

I like to keep things lively and change up my wardrobe every so often. Recently, I’ve challenged myself to take what I already have and pair it different ways to freshen up my style. I’m going to give you five ways to freshen up your style right now.

Freshen up your style with tying a shirt around your waist

I love this look in so many different ways! When I was a kid it was popular to tie shirts or sweatshirts around your waist.

I was super excited when this came back into the fashion scene for three reasons.

1. Hello, extra warmth whenever you need it!
2. It’s super comfy
3. It keeps your waistline looking great

You can do this with a plaid shirt, camo, a loose fitting flannel or sweatshirt. The good news is, you probably already have one of these in your closet!

I like to wear the shirt pictured above from Express with jeans or a fitted maxi dress. See my recent post here for how to wear a utility jacket with a dress.

I wear a flannel shirt with a pair of leggings and tank top or tee shirt.

This look is especially cute (and comfy) with some combat boots. I have these combat boots from Steve Madden and they are super comfy!

Freshen up your ripped jeans

By this day and age, everyone seems to have a pair of ripped jeans.

It’s easy to struggle with how to wear them and not look too casual.

You can freshen up your style by pairing an off the shoulder shirt and heels with your favorite ripped jeans.

Here is an off the shoulder shirt I found on Amazon for under $13!

If the weather is nice, roll up the ankles.

The jeans I’m wearing here are long skinny jeans, I just rolled the bottoms up! It’s a nice touch when the weather is confused.

Here is a similar pair for under $35!

Wear a belt

This may seem super simple, but it was a game changer for my outfits when I started to wear one.

I especially love belts with high waisted skinny jeans.

They’re not only great for the obvious – holding your pants up – but they also accentuate your waistline in all the right ways!

I prefer a standard size belt like the one pictured above, if not a thinner one. It all depends on the belt loop size and style of jeans.

You can find a standard width size and popular style here.

If you’re looking for a skinnier belt, this one is super cute! I have one just like it I wear with smaller belt loops and even pencil skirts.

Throw a vest on

Vests provide a lot of wardrobe options. Whether it’s a puffer vest in the winter time, a utility vest or a denim vest, they’re all so versatile.

I like vests to freshen up my style for an added layer of warmth as well.

This is a great option for weekend brunches.

You can throw them on over just about anything!

Here is a cute one from Zulily for under $22!

Freshen up your style with a hat

I LOVE that hats are so in! Just like the other added accessories in this post, I love the difference adding a hat to my outfit makes.

Fall is one of the biggest seasons for hats.

I personally love the look of oversized sunglasses and hats. It feels very old Hollywood to me.

I have this hat as well as this hat from Target. They also have hats for $7 in the dollar section up front! Win!
