10 Outfits to Help You Change Your Style Without Shopping

1. Casual and Chic

One of the very first themes that pop out to me when looking at casually chic outfits is the sense of being relaxed and effortless with unfussy details and accessories. 

Things that are easy to walk in, or something like a crossbody bag, so you can talk on the phone and walk your dog at the same time.

Another big theme is negative space or the breathing room between your clothes and your body. This can be looked at a number of ways, but the easiest way is with a cuff or pant leg being slightly wider than your wrist or your ankle. This concept can also be applied by wearing a more boxy shirt.

Tailored details are another overarching theme. Whether it’s choosing outerwear that has a little bit of structure, balanced proportions, or harmonious color palettes.

2. Romantic Bombshell

Negative space can still be there in terms of an open neckline, but with the actual fit of the clothes, they should leave less breathing room. The proportion and silhouette are more figure-conscious. This doesn’t just mean waist definition; it means you’re choosing silhouettes and proportions that highlight the part of you that you love and want to showcase.

There’s a lot of drama in these looks. There’s more contrast, whether it’s via color or volume and proportion, eye-catching details, and things with more embellishment that will draw attention. 

Styling
