How to Dress Up a Simple Outfit

September 4, 2018 by admin

If you have a busy day where you have to go from daywear to evening wear with little time to change in between, or perhaps you are traveling light with a few core wardrobe items to see you through a trip, there are ways that you can go from casual to glam with a few simple tweaks. Luckily, you can transform even the most simple, understated outfits by adding a few accessories. If you want to learn how to get that exquisite evening look with little effort, the below guide gives you some handy tips.

Jewelry

One of the quickest and easiest ways to dress up a core outfit is to use jewelry to add a focal point and some sparkle. Diamond and pearl jewelry from Kyllonen Luxury brings a classic, sophisticated style, or choose chunky bracelets and bright colored beads for a fun look. Long earrings can take you from daywear to evening wear in an instance, plus pendant style necklaces add a cool look to any outfit.

Scarves

Scarves can change the look of any outfit and are great for traveling as they pack small and weigh nothing. There are lots of ways to tie scarves, or you could use one as a light shawl over your shoulders. Another way is to use a scarf as a belt, cinching in your waist and adding color to an all-black base.

Belts

Belts are not just for holding your pants up; you use them in many ways! Accentuate your figure by adding a belt to a loose shirt or cardigan, or add interest to a maxi dress. Plus, you can further mix things up by using wide belts or ultra-thin.

Use Knots

Tying your button down shirt into a knot at the front will change the look of your outfit, simply by showing off your waist. You can use knots with oversized t-shirts too for an understated evening vibe. Tie them at the front or to the side. You can also turn a t-shirt inside out and tie a knot in the middle because when you turn it out, it creates a pleat-like cinch.

Neckerchiefs

You can change your base outfit by totally rocking a neckerchief. It adds a layered look to your top half and is great for adding color. If you are having a bad hair day, then simply scoop up your hair into a ponytail and use your neckerchief as a cool headband.

There are many ways that you can dress up a simple outfit, so it looks and feels fresh. Using accessories is great, but it is best to pick one or two and stick with that because overdoing it can make your outfit look a little too embellished. Having a few ways to dress up your outfit will save you time on getting ready to go out, and it can save you the hassle and money of having to buy different outfits for different occasions. So, next time you need to swap from daywear to evening, or if you need a few different looks while on vacation, have fun with your core outfit by following a few nifty tricks and adding a few accessories!
