Making the most out of clothing you already own
Most of us know all about fast fashion and its negative impacts on the environment. Shopping from a sustainable or second-hand clothing store can reduce your carbon footprint by a ton – but these resources often have high price ranges and therefore are hard to consistently shop from. Have you ever thought about maximizing your options within your very own closet? There’s so much you can do with things you already own, and I don’t mean wearing a simple variation of the same outfit every other day.
Here are some tips on making the most out of your clothes from your very own wardrobe!
1.Accessories
Accessorizing is key. Even just a simple necklace or dangling earrings can make your outfit pop in ways it didn’t before. Try not to over-do it, as too much jewelry or colourful add-ons can become messy. But, if you want to spice up your everyday outfits and change up the vibe; jewelry, hats, belts and sunglasses, etc. can be the perfect way to do so!
2. Trying things on
This may seem unnecessary or overly simple, but sometimes, we don’t know how a piece of clothing or outfit actually looks on us until we try it on. Before you throw that pair of pants to the back of your closet, try it on! It might surprise you – and the amount of things that could potentially be worn with it.
3. Wear the same piece in different ways
You’d be surprised at how many button-down shirts or pairs of jeans can be changed up in little ways to look very different from before. Changing up simple details about certain clothing can give an entirely new mood to your outfits, and this tip can be really useful when trying to dress up or down. If you’re faced with a situation where you’re too dressed up for something, undoing a button or cuffing your jeans can very easily change up the vibe.
Hopefully you now have a few ideas that’ll help you cut the shopping sprees and expand your choice of outfits. Remember, you’ll always be surprised with just how much you can do with simple additions to your outfits!
