Fun Ways to Style Eye-Catching Pieces
It can be difficult to step out of your comfort zone when shopping for clothing. Oftentimes, we choose the “safer option” by sticking to basic pieces that we are familiar with and straying away from pieces with perhaps a bright color or print.
Think back to a time when you were shopping. This could’ve been the dress you saw and thought, “Oh, I could never pull that off,” or a pair of pants you picked up and put down saying, “I couldn’t wear this more than once.”
We need to change this mindset and encourage people to go after the “fun option.”
There are plenty of ways to incorporate both bold and simple pieces.
Neon is in and we’re seeing it everywhere. In fact, the Kardashians (fashion icons) have been sporting this trend left and right. It’s definitely bright and even flashy at times, so if you’re not quite ready to go all out in a bright pink bodycon, pair your neon with denim. Whether this is your oversized jean jacket or a high-waisted skinny jean, denim matched with a vibrant statement piece is a great dynamic.
Don’t shy away from prints, either. The animal print movement is hot right now, currently making a big wave in the fashion industry and inspiring so many chic looks. This allows so much room for fun. If you’re tired of your plain blue jeans, pick up some cow print denim. It’s super fashionable and you can pair it with your favorite staple pieces such as a black or white sweater.
If you want to achieve a sleek, modern look, then pair cheetah print with black, faux leather. It’s cute for a casual outing and striking for a night out on the town. However, you don’t have to add a lot of character because the smallest amount of print can make a definite difference. If you’re not looking to draw too much attention with clothing, a printed hair scarf is a cute and fun way to spice up any simple look.
Don’t forget to search the footwear section when shopping for bold pieces. The best thing about a unique shoe is that it can integrate different fabrics, textures, and colors. This is perfect to add energy to any ensemble, such as a solid black cycling set or an all-white bodycon dress.
A popular shoe style currently is a platform shoe. Even just the unique shape of a plain white, platform sneaker can add a little eccentricity. Shoe shopping is a creative outlet. So, whether you prefer booties, pumps, or sneakers, remember that no outfit would be complete without a great pair of shoes.
While keeping things simple might be easier, it definitely gets old. Making room in your wardrobe for creativity is never a bad idea. Embrace those eye-catching pieces and style them to express your individual style. The next time you’re at the store, push out of that comfort zone and buy the “fun option.” Otherwise, you might regret it.
