5 Small Styling Tweaks That Will Take Your Outfit from Basic to Chic Instantly

By  | 

As obvious as it may sound, reinvigorating your style doesn’t have to mean buying a whole new set of clothes – often the pieces that will inject life into your looks are already sitting in your wardrobe. The secret? Being smart with your styling. Whether it’s a color combination, silhouette, hemline length, or even just a particular way to wear a belt, often it’s the most subtle changes that can make the biggest difference.

While social media is a treasure trove of outfit ideas, we find that the fashion week runways are the richest, and most original, source of inspiration in this department. So, if you’re looking for easy styling tricks to give your wardrobe a fresh injection of energy, scroll down to see and shop our 2023 mood board.

1. Try a flash of red

Bring a little fire into your spring wardrobe with a flash of red. Whether you go head-to-toe or just add a pop of color via a handbag or shoe, this shade is sure to reinvigorate your style for the new season.

2. Add a hoodie

Think camel coats, grey hoodies, leggings and loafers. It’s the perfect layered look for cool days. Too warm? Just swap out knitted joggers for a miniskirt and a wool coat for a light blazer.

3. Throw a skirt over trousers

Forget the boho hemlines and skintight bootcut trousers of the Noughties, because this year the skirt-over-trousers look has been given a high-fashion makeover. Stick to one color palette – navy, grey or black would be our preferred shades – and finish with polished accessories.

4. Supersize your denim silhouette

Denim was everywhere this season, both off and on the runway, however the most notable difference to previous seasons were the proportions: it was all about the oversized silhouette. Pair a baggy denim shirt with wide-leg jeans and chunky gold jewellery for an easy high-low look.

5. Layer-up your basic tops

This is probably the simplest styling trick you can experiment with – essentially all you need is a jersey top and a T-shirt or tank top in complementary colors. Just layer your T-shirt over a long-sleeved top to bring a grungy twist on polished separates, be it pencil skirt or tailored trousers.
