Not everyone has enough money to buy a closet full of dresses. If you have a tight budget and need a specific style for an event or special occasion, you will have to learn how to remix your wardrobe. Finding ways to work with what you have will allow you to expand your choices.
Learning How To Style Your Clothing
To get started with learning how to effectively mix and match your clothes to style them starts with creating a capsule wardrobe. The goal of a capsule wardrobe is to provide you with a collection of clothes that will suit your lifestyle and look great. Many factors go into creating a successful capsule wardrobe, such as having enough choices, not having enough money, and restricting yourself.
Styling Sundresses
One staple every woman should have in her closet is a sundress. There are various ways to style women’s sundresses, from casual to dressy. The key is to have a sundress with a print that is easy to match accessories and jewelry with.
You’re probably a fan of a sundress because they are comfortable, keep you cool, and make you look amazing. However, you can’t wear the same dress every day. However, you may be able to get away with styling the same sundress for multiple days a week and no one will be the wiser.
If you’re not ready to give up on your favorite sundress, try incorporating other pieces into your outfit. Doing so will make it look like a completely different piece. Below are some of the best ways to style a sundress so it can look new.
1. Add A Cardigan
If you’re not ready to give up on your favorite summer dress yet, try wearing it under a cardigan. This will keep you warm and make it look more like an all-season garment. To ensure that you’re getting the best possible look, keep in mind that the color of the cardigan should match the vibe you are wanting to create.
2. Wear A Jean Jacket
Although a sundress can keep you warm, it doesn’t provide enough warmth. When the temperature drops, you start feeling the chills across your shoulders and arms. A cropped denim jacket will keep you warm and comfortable while looking more casual. The pockets will also provide a convenient way to carry your essentials.
3. Wear Under A Blouse
This tip can completely change the look of your sundress. You can easily put on a button-up blouse that’s made to match your sundress’s fabric and color. Place it over your top, and then take the two loose ends and tie them together to create a billowy top.
The button-up portion of a sundress should be left unbuttoned to make it look like you’re wearing a skirt and blouse instead. To ensure that it looks great with the dress, choose a summer blouse that’s made of a thinner material.
4. Add Statement Jewelry Pieces
One important factor to consider when it comes to choosing jewelry is its ability to stand out from the crowd. If you have a jewelry collection that fits this definition, it’s time to start using it. Instead of going with the same jewelry that you usually wear, try branching out and experimenting with different pieces.
You can easily add a statement jewelry piece to a plain sundress. This can be a large pendant, a pearl necklace, a long necklace, or even a choker. To ensure that the jewelry matches the dress, save the statement pieces for a simple solid-colored outfit.
5. Wear Different Shoes And Sandals
Similar to jewelry, shoes can also make or break a look. Before you start planning on adding a statement piece to your sundress, take a look at the clothes that you usually wear. For instance, if you’re a regular beachgoer, you might already have a pair of wedge heels that you can easily swap out for a pair of sneakers.
Conclusion
If you’re a fan of the more casual style, but the dress only goes with heels, add a denim jacket. Sometimes, the contrast between what you usually wear and what you’re wearing can turn heads. For instance, a feminine sundress paired with a rugged cowboy boot can look great. You should also consider the weather when it comes to deciding on the type of shoes that you’ll want to wear.
Final Thoughts
Your favorite summer sundress should be shown off. To make it look new, try styling it differently and incorporating some of the items in your closet to create a more updated look. You will be sure to get some much-deserved compliments.
