It is easy to understand why women have several dresses in their closets. Dresses are easy to wear and only occupy a little space in the wardrobe. However, any dress can be limited in style, especially when you have worn it severally. Fortunately, you don’t need multiple dresses for every occasion, and you can transform your dress into a statement outfit with these three unique ways.
1. Use Bangles To Create A Different Style
If you have a bold-coloured slip dress that’s unflattering, you can add a dash of sophistication by using a bangle. All you have to do is place any bangle on the outside of the dress around your waist area. Then, secure the bangle in place with a hair tie on the inside of the dress.
The bangle creates a new fold on the dress, transforming a plain dress into a uniquely designed outfit. To create a bolder fashion statement, use one large bangle to loop in your free-flowing dress at the hip area. Alternatively, you can use a series of three small bangles to achieve more style and detail in your dress. Please note the bangle has to be firm with a sturdy round shape.
2. Use Different Belts.
Using belts to style your dress is the oldest trick in the book, but it is foolproof. You can never go wrong with adding a belt to spice up your dress. Using different belts on the same dress will make you feel like you are wearing a new outfit.
Using a belt defines your waistline, and you can use a wide belt to accentuate it. It will help you show off your curves and give your outfit a refined look. Ensure the belt is proportionate to the size of your dress. For instance, you will look fabulous wearing a thin belt on a maxi dress and ridiculous and overpowering wearing a wide belt on a slip dress.
3. Layer Your Dress.
Layers are a practical fashion hack when it comes to repurposing outfits. You can create a fantastic look with a tie-front blouse because it won’t steal away from the dress and will still look like it had been designed that way.
Alternatively, you can add a jacket to your dress, giving it a fresh look. You can wear a Demin jacket for a more casual look for an outdoor occasion or a blazer for a formal and business look. You can also pair your dress with a black leather jacket for a night out with your girls.
While hiding your dress underneath a long coat would be counterproductive, feel free to experiment with longer and shorter jackets, bolder colors, and patterns until you achieve your desired style.
Final Thought.
Transform your dresses into different outfits with these three hacks. Let your imagination run wild, and have fun creating and recreating new looks with the same dress. Do you have other ideas on how to style a dress differently? Share them in the comments: I would love to try them!♥
