Clever Tricks To Restyle An Outfit

With Christmas lunches, staff parties and family get-togethers lining up this festive season, save money on new outfits by reworking what you already have in your wardrobe. Check out these fashion savvy solutions to help you put your best foot forward.

Gone are the days of not wanting to be seen dead in the same outfit. Slow fashion makes a stylish statement and can be just as exciting as a shopping trip while saving you a small fortune.

 The best place to start is to give your wardrobe a detox and bring in some order. Edit out clothes you no longer wear then group together favourite items with a few lesser worn pieces to mix things up and section off a space for party outfits.

 Easily creased items can really lose their appeal when they’ve been left to languish at the back of the closet. Iron out creases or refresh with the power of steam and fall in love with those garments all over again.

The Pure Tex is the perfect garment steamer to take care of all of those delicate fabrics. It kills 99.9% viruses, bacteria and germs.

Or why not let the Care For You vanish all of the creases and bacteria from your all time favourites, while drying them at the same time so they are ready to wear.

Simple alterations are easier than you think. Replacing buttons, adding or removing embellishments and even fabric dyeing are all very doable and will give old garments a new lease of stylish life.

For more complicated sewing, such as shortening a dress, changing a neckline and taking in a pair of trousers, the services of a good tailor or seamstress are worth paying for if the job’s beyond your experience.

Now play dress up! It sounds obvious but taking a moment to try things on ahead of time is a must. Mixing up separates you’ve never put together before could reveal a host of new outfits you didn’t know you had. It’s a lot of fun too.

Don’t forget all-important accessories. Belts, broaches, shoes, statement necklaces and scarves can all completely change an outfit or vamp up an all-black ensemble into something special.

Our final tip? Once you have your outfits all picked out, give them a good steam to help them look their best so you do too.
