Sometimes it seems like your favorite Instagram influencer has an endless closet of new and trendy clothing. You gaze longingly at the cute outfit and wish that you had the resources and closet space to be like her. You would be wearing fashionable colors and styles every day—no more dull fashion for you. Fortunately, with a little creativity, you can update your look without breaking the bank. It just takes a little know-how and a few accessories that are probably already in your closet.
Here are a few simple and quick ways to update any look:

1. Add a scarf
A scarf is an easy and inexpensive way to change the look of any outfit. Select one with a trendy color or pattern to give your clothing a fresh look. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns or experiment with colors. Since it can be draped or tied in so many different ways, the same scarf can update the look of a dress, sweater, or tee.

2. Cuff your jeans
Whether you prefer straight leg, boot cut, or relaxed jeans, cuffing them gives them a style boost. If you have jeans that you don’t wear because they are too long, roll up the legs and look fashionable. Show off your trendy socks or adorable shoes by folding up your jeans. You can fold them once for even little cuffs or make double cuffs for a more casual look.

3. Belted layers
Layering with shirts, scarves, and sweaters helps to keep us cozy in the fall and winter. Adding a belt to the layers adds a new fashion dimension. Select a neutral color to shift the emphasis to the layered pieces, or go bold with color. Whether you’re belting a shirt and sweater, a shirt and scarf, jacket and shirt, or any combination, you’ve given a new look to your favorite pieces.

4. Knot your shirt
Knotting your shirt is a virtually no-time at all way to make your favorite shirt into a trendy piece. It flatters your figure and creates a polished look. From button-down shirts to t-shirts, a knot makes it go from ordinary to put together. Whether you go for the center knot or off to one side, it is a simple and no-cost way to update your look.

5. Cool socks or tights
Socks and tights can bring the look together. You probably already know that it is best not to wear them together. Whether wearing tights or socks, they are an inexpensive way to get a pop of color or interesting pattern and keep you warm. Tights pair well with skirts and dresses to keep you warm and fashionable. Socks, too, can be worn with dresses, skirts, jeans, and more. If your sock drawer needs to be replenished, adding to your collection will be easy since they come in many fabrics, colors, and styles.

6. Stack your jewelry
Wearing multiple bracelets, necklaces, and rings give you a fashion vibe to your outfit. If you are wearing several necklaces, choose thinner ones, and wear multiple lengths. Chunky ones can make your neck look short. For bracelets, select ones from your collection that complement each other or have interesting shapes and colors.
