Don’t want to throw away your out-dated wardrobe pieces from your closet? Stylist, Christina Cravero shares five tips and tricks for putting your unwanted basic pieces to use. See how these ways can save your wardrobe and even save you some money!

Fishnet Tights

Fishnet tights have been out-of-style for years, but we are now seeing them come back into the fashion trends this spring. This 1970’s inspired accessory is perfect to throw under a pair of denim jeans to really add that edgy and chic look. But the best part of all of this, is that you can usually find fishnet tights for under $10. This is an extremely easy fix to switch up your look and spice up your outfit this spring.

Classic White Button-Down

Everyone has the classic white button-down shirt in their closet. It is a standard piece of clothing that you can dress down or dress up, it can be knotted or tucked, or paired with a jean or skirt. But are you too afraid to wear it alone? Try pairing it with a slip dress that is bold and full of colour. This is the new funky and trendy look for the spring. Stick with the bright and vibrate colours and stay away from the dark and black hues. This combination will definitely add some flavour to your boring white button-down shirt.

High-Waisted Denim

Ever thought of pairing your high-waisted denim jeans with a kimono dress? May be a little weird but it works. A kimono is a boho chic fashion staple to every wardrobe rather it be floral, lace, or fringe. This look may surprise you but it is the perfect accessory to throw on top of your high-waisted denim jeans. Style your kimono the way that is comfortable for you and watch your outfit come alive. Leave it open as a jacket or tight it up as a dress and pair it with a tank top or turtle neck depending on the weather. Watch your high-waisted denim jeans not be so dull anymore.

Pant Suit

Do you have that 1990’s pant suit hanging in your closet and don’t know what to do with it? Well don’t throw it away because here’s a way you can rework it. Take it out of your closet and try to dress it down with a graphic tee and a chunky necklace. This season we are seeing a trend of rock band tees from designers like Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger. By adding this to a pant suit will transform your outfit into a rocker chic look. Also shoes can be another way to dress it up or down by adding a heel or running shoe, depending on your style and occasion.

Dainty Dress

Don’t have a fancy occasion to wear that dainty dress too? Try to rework that dress into a daytime casual look. It can be as easy as throwing on a denim jacket. A dainty dress and a denim jacket is an easy and simple outfit to put together for a casual day at the grocery store, or the park. Wear your denim jacket over your shoulders or tie it around your waist for the warm weather. And for the final touch, decide between a bold heel or flat to finish off your outfit and you’re ready for a spring-summer daytime look.
