Clever Ways To Personalise Your Wardrobe

Fashion is a highly personal; it allows us to express our personality without speaking. But in a retail climate dominated by chain stores all following the same trends, it can feel hard to break away from that season’s uniform. But there are plenty of clever ways to personalize your wardrobe so that you stand out and make your mark.

Accessorize

Adding accessories to an outfit is not only a simple way to change its look and function but to make a statement about yourself. A simple outfit of a t-shirt and jeans can look like several different outfits depending on how you complement it. High heels, a statement necklace, and a sleek ponytail give a glam look, while Chelsea boots, a scarf belt, and loose hair give a boho vibe. Don’t feel constrained to one look or vibe, have fun mixing things up with a selection of accessories.

Embroidery

Embroidery isn’t just for old ladies making wall hangings or corporate logos on a uniform. Use computerized embroidery machines to add a funky pattern to a hemline or detailing to sleeves. As well as adding color and pattern to a piece of clothing, it’ll also add texture and interest. Choose to make a colorful statement or a subtle change; it’s entirely up to you. 

Screen Printing

Screen printing is another way to add design and color to fabric and clothes. It can be time-consuming and messy, especially at first, but screen printing is a fun and creative outlet once you get the hang of it. Apply simple monotone patterns or build up colorful pictures straight from your imagination. You can use a screenprint pattern to make multiple garments with the same print, but every single one will have slight differences, so even then, each is individual and personal. 

Make Your Own

Don’t you just hate it when you see a dress or top you love the shape and fit of, but the color or pattern isn’t for you? Buy a fabric you love and make a garment you genuinely adore. The benefit of this is that your garments are tailored to your measurements, ensuring a perfect fit, unlike mass-produced clothes with a generic fit. If you’re feeling truly adventurous, you can even try making your own patterns for the ultimate in personalization.

Mix Old And New

It’s not always about changing and creating, though, as vintage pieces can add an exciting twist to a modern look. Look through older relatives’ closets for long-forgotten pieces or spend time rummaging in thrift stores. A garmet that was in fashion five, twenty, or forty years ago can look just as fantastic today, teamed with current clothes. If you like it and it looks good, go for it and make it a wardrobe staple.

Don’t be downhearted if this season’s trends don’t bring you joy; instead, find ways to make them work for you. Add accessories to change a look, alter garments, or even make your own. As long as you have fun and let yourself shine through.
