3 Ways To Elevate Your Outfits

Outfit repeating is inherently cool. It signals to others that you have a strong sense of personal style, or even a signature look. Kind of like how a cartoon character is instantly recognizable by what they wear. But sometimes, your go-to outfits can start to feel a little stale—the ones you throw on without a second thought because they’re just that comfortable. If you’re feeling a bit bored with your wardrobe, here are a few easy ways to switch things up.

1. Mix patterns

Mixing patterns is a great way to add dimension to an outfit, but there’s a way to do it that feels intentional rather than random. Look for a common thread between the patterns, like a shared color or similar design elements. For example, this argyle patterned top pairs well with this striped blazer because they both feature similar pink tones, creating a cohesive look.

2. Juxtapose

Contrast can make an outfit more visually interesting, and you don’t need to go for extreme opposites to make it work. Instead of pairing something ultra-feminine with something overly masculine, you can start small—like playing with different textures. For example, this structured wool varsity jacket can be paired with a lighter and airier material on the bottom, like this flowy asymmetrical skirt.

3. Go monochrome

A monochrome outfit always looks put-together and effortless. Choose a single color and build your look around different shades and tones of it to add depth. This keeps the outfit visually dynamic while maintaining a sleek, cohesive feel.
