For anyone who, like me, feels as though they need a style refresh, I have news for you. As much as I hate to admit it (as a professional shopper), stepping up your outfit game often has less to do with shopping and more to do with how you make use of the many pieces you likely already have in your closet.
Whether it's an unexpected color combo or a little accessory that will give and look a polished touch, there are so many easy ways to level-up our dressing with the items we already own. To prove it, today, I'm bringing you eight styling tips that will have you looking rich this spring without actually having to buy anything. Of course, should you want to refresh an item or two, as always, I've got you covered there just in case. Simply continue for eight inspiring looks to save in your screenshots folder, and then read a little about what makes each work.
1. All-white outfit + black accessories
Whether dressed up or casual, this combo works every time and is a great way to continue getting use out of your favorite winter accessories.
2. Long coat + short skirt
Master proportions by pairing a longer coat with a miniskirt. As far as shoes are concerned, anything can go, but we think flats complement the look best.
3. Knits on knits
Whether it's a set or similar separates, layer on the knits for a texturally interesting and comfortable look.
4. Butter yellow + navy blue
This photo says it all. Why choose one It-color when you can wear two?
5. Add a neck scarf
The little forever accessory packs a big punch in terms of tying together—no pun intended—an outfit.
6. Socks + loafers
I don't think I can even wear loafers any other way now.
7. Trench coat + capris
This might be my favorite slide because it's the look I've yet to try! But how could you not want to after seeing the inspo?
8. Button-down shirt over a tee
Take advantage of this easy-yet-eye-catching layering trick before it gets too hot for gratuitous clothing items.
