Almost everyone will remember the not-so-distant past of being in lockdown. For many, it was a time when the jeans were thrown to the side, the pajamas stayed on, and putting on sweatpants was the upgrade to go to the store for groceries.
Since then, this has been a very difficult habit to shake for a lot of people. Having that comfort while putting in minimal effort was freeing, and having to go back to tight jeans, tights, or wearing a bra was just the icing on the cake for the whole thing.
Because of this, many are now struggling with their style. If you are someone who can benefit from some simple tips to look more put together, this piece is for you.
Choose Fitted
There is something about sweatpants that so many are reluctant to give up, and it is not hard to understand why. That being said, if you feel like you have just crawled out of bed, there are some ways to help you feel more put together without having to ditch them entirely. Try and go for a more fitted look. Shop around to find sweats and co-ords that flatter your body type and fit it well over something that is a little more baggy and unhinged.
Accessorize
Accessories are one of the fastest ways to take any outfit and give it more of a wow factor. After all, the notion is that anyone who is not put together would most likely have forgotten to use accessories or have little interest in them!
If you are not ready to change the clothes you are wearing, you can elevate them with immaculate jewelry, fun shoes, or a cute hat. Jewelry items like 14k gold bracelets are always in style, simple and dainty, or you could opt for some platforms for a real fashion statement.
Layer Up
If you are someone that needs to leave the house a lot and wants a quick and easy way to look sharp, then investing in outerwear is probably the move for you. Everything else you are wearing is hidden underneath while your jacket or coat takes center stage! This works particularly well in the winter, where it is less likely that you will have to take any layers off.
Take Care of Your Clothes
One of the fastest ways for someone to look unkempt is to wear clothes that have not been taken care of. Big stains, rips, holes, and bobbling all are signs that your clothes are past their use by date. However, there are certain steps you can take to help you look after your clothes before they reach that point, which aids in their longevity and helps you look more put together too!
Invest in a de-fuzzer to get rid of pilling, get yourself a lint removal tool to keep your garments looking sharp, and make sure to pay attention to individual wash instructions for each piece. This can help your clothes look brand new.
