6 Ways to Switch Up Your Wardrobe This Year
If upgrading your wardrobe in 2025 is on your bucket list, then you’ve come to the right place. There’s nothing quite like putting your clothes on and actually feeling good! The media dictates a lot of what we wear in this day and age, and while there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from it, it’s important to remember that you should wear clothes that make you feel comfortable! The last thing you want is to feel uncomfortable because the clothes you’re wearing don’t make you feel your very best.
So, whether you’re the type to rock up in skinny jeans and a pair of converse or prefer a skirt and sandals, there’s so many ways to make sure that you’re always looking your best. And, when you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows! Let’s explore some ideas for this year now!
Accessorise!
Revamping your entire wardrobe isn’t going to be cheap, so you’ll need to find creative ways to change up the looks of your outfits. The best way of doing that is through accessories! Things like hats, scarves, rings, necklaces and bracelets can completely change the overall look on an outfit. You can dress up a blouse with a delicate scarf and broach or complete a skater girl look with a backwards baseball cap. There are so many different things you can do, so don’t be afraid to experiment!
Think about smells
While fashion is primarily about the clothes you wear, you should also think about your scent. While we’re sure you have some great perfumes and body sprays, why not treat yourself to a new signature smell? Even if you only use it for special occasions, being complimented on how you smell is just as good of a feeling as being complimented on your outfit.
With smells in mind, why not think about other things like makeup and hair style too? Why wear a fantastic outfit if your hair is scraped back, right? Like with accessories, don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks!
Don’t be afraid to show your style
As mentioned earlier, while there’s nothing wrong in following looks you see online, it’s important to remember to show your own personal style. If you love 80’s fashion, for example, don’t be afraid to add those shoulder pads in or finish off a look with leg warmers. The same goes for those that love a pop of color in their clothing - don’t hold back on buying one of Jayli's Hippie Skirts or a neon blazer. When you love the clothes you’re wearing, you naturally look happier!
Mix and match clothing items!
When you shop for clothes, stores will often pair items of clothing together on mannequins to show you how you can style each item (and to upsell, of course). Use their pairings to your advantage! As mentioned earlier, replacing your wardrobe isn’t going to come cheap, so why not buy a select few items and mix and match them instead? You can even change up how those certain pieces come off with accessories or how you wear them. For example, tucking in a blouse into high waisted pants will make it look like a whole new item of clothing! The same goes with shoes and jackets, they can completely change up your outfits!
Dress for your body shape
If you’ve always felt that your clothes don’t quite look how you’d imagined them, there’s a good chance you’re not dressing for your body shape. Different clothes are made for different body shapes. As an example, a-line skirts and v-necks are perfect for women with a bigger bust and empire dresses suit those with a rectangular body shape. Once you work out what your body shape is, you can find clothes in your preferred style and you’ll soon notice how much better your clothes sit.
Learn to love yourself!
Finally, the most important thing you can do for your wardrobe and fashion this year is learning to love yourself! One of the downsides of seeing people in the media wearing clothes we like is that we compare ourselves to them. And, if your body shape or weight doesn’t match theirs, it can quickly diminish your confidence. It’s important to remember that you are beautiful. It doesn’t matter your age, weight, height or body shape. Be kind to yourself, look after your body, and use these tips to help you transform your wardrobe in 2025!
