Wear More Jewelry
Jewelry is one of the easiest ways to help you to spice up an outfit. Even the most boring outfit can be made fun and exciting with a pair of tassel earrings in a bright color or cool layered gold necklaces. You can build up your jewelry collection using both expensive pieces that you keep for the long haul and costume jewelry. Using the right jewelry will make such a big difference and it can really help you to show off your personality and have fun with your look.

Include Different Textures
This is possibly the top tip that most fashion savvy people would bestow upon you if you asked them for advice. Texture instantly stops an outfit from looking dull and makes it look 10x more interesting and fabulous. You can add more texture using a shaggy cardigan, a bag made out of a cool material or any other way you like—use your imagination. I love to add a pop of faux fur.

Start Wearing Prints
As you have probably already figured out, animal prints are here to stay. Start off by wearing a snakeskin t-shirt or leopard print shoes, and gradually build yourself up until you’re wearing wild and fierce statement patterned pieces all the time. Then, you can experiment further by mixing up patterned pieces to create a cool and eclectic look that even fashion bloggers would envy! Have you tried wearing head-to-toe leopard prints?

Visit A Stylist
Nobody needs to visit a stylist to figure out their look or what looks best on them. However, it can be a bit of a fast track to figuring it all out if you go to the right one. There’s no shame in getting help! A good stylist can help you to select the colours that work best with your skin tone, hair, eyes, and overall style. As well, they can show you pieces that suit you best. In fact, many department stores offer appointments for free in the hope that you will buy something—you just need to call and ask.
