To reinvent your look, consider the areas of your style that YOU feel need improvement. Not everything about your style needs to change necessarily. It is important to remember that deciding to change up your look should be a personal decision. Don't change your appearance to meet the expectations of someone else or society. At the end of the day, only YOU live with you, so you're the one who needs to feel happy with the changes you make. With that stated, here's how to reinvent your look on your terms. 

Keep Things Comfortable

As you start brainstorming ideas for different outfits, you need to consider the areas of comfort you're not willing to compromise on when it comes to fashion. For example, you might want to base your shirts around the full coverage bras you love because they make you feel comfortable and support your shape. If your bras are patterned or textured, you might want to find shirts that hide these embellishments. 

Additionally, if you know that certain clothing brands fit your body best, feel free to gravitate towards those brands over others. What matters is to establish comfortable aspects of your style that you maintain. By merging comfort with fashion, you'll have an easier time creating outfits you'll want to wear over and over again. 

Consider Your Aesthetic

Before you start thinking about the clothes and accessories you might incorporate, take a step back and look at the big picture. Decide for yourself what the overall aesthetic is for your style. Do you want to come across as tough and edgy, sweet and sassy, or maybe a little bit of both? Maybe you want a different feel altogether. 

Think about your personality and the traits about yourself you wish to emphasize in the way you dress. From there, you can start brainstorming outfits that might express these traits through fashion. 

Incorporate Closet Staples

You will want to have some go-to items in your closet to make creating unique outfits easier to do. Have a collection of jeans, tank tops, tee-shirts, and accessories that you can use as base layers and starting points when you establish new outfits that reflect your reinvented look this year. 

You can find sustainable staples at thrift stores if you find that you are lacking them in your closet but don't want to spend full price on new items. You'll not only save money, but shopping sustainably will also help to take better care of the environment. 

Dress For The Weather

In addition to comfort, you'll want to dress appropriately for the weather. You'll enjoy your new looks much more if you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. Be sure to wear thermals underneath your main clothes if it is cold outside, and wear wool socks to keep your feet warm. By keeping your body temperature at a comfortable base temperature, you’ll be able to enjoy the outfits you come up with without feeling held back by unpleasant weather conditions. 

Wear sandals to allow your feet to breathe, and dress in lightweight clothing to stay cool if it's hot out. You can even find linen beach pants for lazy days when you want to enjoy being outside without putting in too much effort. 

The Bottom Line

To reinvent your look this year, prioritize your needs as they relate to fashion, comfort, the weather, and basic wardrobe staples. By keeping these essentials in mind, you can create unique outfits for a new and improved you without compromising fashion or functionality. Get started creating new looks that you love right away!
