MAKING BASICS LOOK NOT SO BASIC
It’s All About The Shoes
Rule of thumb for most outfits, especially “basic” outfits, is emphasis on the shoes. Shoes can absolutely make or break an outfit. When you’re donning a simplistic look, they have the ability to take it to the next level. If you are wearing a neutral-colored outfit, for example, a pair of jeans and a plain top, remember to incorporate a pop of color or unique aesthetic in your shoes, whether it is a pair of trendy mules or a comfortable sneaker.
Add-In A Statement Piece
Including a single statement piece into your basic outfit is a great way to spice it up. It can be a purse, a pair of sunglasses, a jacket if the weather calls for it. A really cool statement piece of jewelry, for example, a pair of earrings or a bold necklace can be an awesome way to add some interest to your outfit as well.
Try A Trend
If you are feeling as though your outfit could use a bit of an upgrade, try and incorporate a piece that is fabulously on trend. When it comes too tops, square neck blouses and off the shoulder tops are definitely in fashion, especially for the summertime. If you find yourself wearing skinny jeans often, go for a straight leg pair instead. Straight leg jeans can be worn with any shoe and complement any top.
Layer Up
In the fall and winter, layering is key to looking cute and also staying warm. It is also a great way to add a little bit more to your looks. Again, if you find yourself in a basic solid colored t-shirt and jeans or jean shorts, think about adding a cute and cozy cardigan or a blazer that will be able to add a different dynamic to the look. People will not even notice that your basics are just a t-shirt and jeans.
