Fashion is a big part of everyone’s life because it is not just about wearing the trendiest clothes, but just having your own style to dress up is also fashion. Yours might be simpler than others, or more colorful, lesser attention-seeking, or maybe a little odd, but it is still fashion, your fashion. And since we all love to explore and experiment, here are some easy ways through which you can reuse and recycle your clothes to look fashionable every day.

1. Play with prints

You may prefer a print over a plain or a plain with a print on your normal days, but we say you go bold and experiment with prints over prints. Yes, finding the right patterns that complement each other can be tricky, but it all starts with experimenting. Try some bold colorful prints with small and big patterns and you’ll notice a big change in your personality.

 
2. Layer it up

Layering is always a great option to reuse your already existing clothes. Try to pair a sweater and overcoat in winters that you’ve otherwise always worn separately. You can also layer a full sleeves plain shirt with a stylish sweater and a denim jacket to add colors to your look.

3. Add a scarf

A little change can go a long way and that is what scarfs are all about. You can simply add a colorful or printed scarf to your plain shirt and make it look 10 times more stylish. You can try it in your hair, around your waist, around the neck, and even on your handbag. A cute scarf will always make you stand out in the crowd.

4. Always know your fit

Fashion does not have to about trendy clothes, but about clothes that fit you right. A baggy jeans is supposed to be baggy and a befriend shirt is supposed to be lost, but your normal pair of pants doesn’t have to hang from your hip. You need to buy clothes that fit your body and make it look good. Ask the salesman to help you pick the right fit if you’re not sure.

5. Try new combinations

The best thing about fashion is that there’s no right or wrong. Everyone has a different fashion sense and what’s right for you doesn’t have to be right for everyone. Nobody said that you can only wear yellow with black and not green or pink. Experiment with colors that look good on you and try a new combination everyday. This will help you reuse your same shirts and trousers multiple times, and yet looking different each time.

6. Pay attention to your shoes

If you really want to make a statement, then do it with your shoes. Fashion is not always about the clothes, it’s about standing out in the crowd, and your shoes can definitely do that. Go bold with your shoes when your outfit is basic. Experiment with neon colors, thigh high boots, leather loafer etc. Also, make sure that whatever you wear is properly polished and clean.

7. Invest in accessories

Instead of buying new clothes everyday, invest a little on good accessories. A bold pair of earrings, or sparkly hair clips, or multiple rings can add so much value to your look. A layered neckpiece with a plain tee or a bandana or just a vibrant nail paint can make so much difference in the way you look. Search for these accessories and carry them with confidence.

8. Put a hat On It

When going out on a hot summer day, pair your outfit with a nice hat. It will not only add to your look, but will also protect your hair from the heat. You can pick a medium sized hat if you’re new to the idea and then go bold with bigger ones. They look amazing with beach outfits. You can also try a cap on days you want to look sporty!

9. Experiment with your bags

A bag can add the much-needed oomph factor to your everyday look. Change your bag instead of your clothes, and you’ll be surprised to see how much difference that makes. From side bags, to duffle bags, handbags, totes, slings, backpacks and so many more, they can truly define your fashion sense.

10. Get a little shade-y

Don’t get us wrong here. All we meant is that a good pair of shades (sunglasses) can add to your look too. You can try the round glass, or the cat eyes, square frames, or even go for the colorful lenses that definitely grabs a lot of attention. Just make sure that the shape of the frame suits your face and doesn’t cover it too much, and you’re good to go!
