Add Flair to Anything You Wear

Adding flair to your outfit is an easy and inexpensive way to shake up your look. These items that add spice are probably already in your closet. Express yourself with this sense of style or allow the tips to help you develop your sense of style.
 

1. Go Vintage – What’s old is new again. Retro is back and here to stay. This is a hot fashion trend for 2022. All you need is one vintage statement piece and work your outfit around it. You could wear a vintage dress with a modern jacket. Vintage jewelry is always a great conversation piece. Or what about a pair of vintage sunglasses.
2. Accessories – The easiest way to add flair is with the accessories you wear. Jewelry, scarves, or handbags. A necklace in a bright color. A scarf in your hair, tied to your handbag or used as a belt. The right accessories can even make a t-shirt and jeans look fresh.
3. Different Prints & Patterns – Wear a printed shirt with a solid jacket and pants. Wear pattern in your heels or sandals. Print mixing is still on trend – try a floral top with a stripe jacket or sweater.
4. The Third Piece – For an outfit to go from good to great, it needs three key elements. Your top and bottom are your first and second element. The third piece is that extra something that finishes off the whole look. The third piece adds the finishing touches to the outfit. It takes an ordinary outfit, jazzes it up, and makes it look like there was some extra effort added. Think about jeans and a graphic tee. A blazer, cardigan or leather jacket would be the perfect third piece. It’s about taking the basics up a notch. The third piece is like a love note to yourself saying that you care about how you’re presenting yourself to the world. You are worth the extra effort. Go for it.
5. Add a Scarf – Scarves are some of the most fun, versatile items in a wardrobe. Scarves suit just about everyone and can be worn in a variety of ways. Go for the traditional ways to wear it around your neck. In my F Words community in August of 2021 I taped a Fashion Friday with a scarf demonstration. Catch it here for additional ways to wear a scarf. Or you can tie them on your handbag, wear them in your hair or use them as a belt.

You can easily add flair to anything you wear. Let me know which tip you try.

Have a fantastic weekend.
