Now and then, you may feel the need to do a mini makeover to refresh your look. You’ve become accustomed to dressing a certain way, so much so that your style starts to look like a uniform because you tend to wear the same clothes every time. There’s nothing wrong with how you dress, but perhaps it’s time for a change – it’s as good as a holiday, after all!

There are things you can do to improve your style, switch up your look, and make you feel a little better about yourself in the process.

Get a new do

One of the simplest ways to refresh your look is by changing your hairstyle. A new haircut immediately changes the way you look. The slightest trim makes a noticeable difference. Make sure your hairstyle suits your lifestyle. You don’t want to get a haircut that needs a lot of maintenance if you don’t have much time.

Wardrobe

If you take a look at your wardrobe, you might find that many of the items in it are outdated. There might not be anything wrong with the clothes; they’ve just gone out of fashion. This does not mean you have to go out and buy every trend. You just need to get a few statement pieces that will make you stand out and complement the items you already have in your closet.

Renewal

Don’t throw everything you own away. There are some cool ways to make old clothes new again. Patches and embroidery are huge trends at the moment.

You can take your jeans, t-shirts, or jackets and slap a patch or two on there or have them embroidered. You can even do it yourself. All you need is a design, some thread, and an embroidery machine and you will have a new trendy wardrobe made up of your old clothes.

Color palette

If you take a closer look at your wardrobe, you might see that it contains many neutral colors. This is the safe choice people make while shopping because it will fit right in with everything else in your wardrobe, and you won’t have to worry about matching.

Colors can change your mood, and adding some color to your wardrobe might be that change you need to refresh your look. Wear your favorite color to make you feel good.

Magazines

Before you go shopping, look at magazines for inspiration. You will find the latest fashion trends, tips on how to style them, and where to buy them.

You’ll get new ideas on how to wear what you already have differently. Sometimes, it takes seeing someone else wearing something to feel comfortable wearing it yourself.

Skincare

Looking after your skin should be part of your daily routine; this doesn’t mean just using soap and water. If your skin doesn’t look good, you’re aware of it and not as confident as you could be.

Exposure to the sun and the elements damages the skin. Stay out of the sun; dermatologists believe that sun exposure is one of the leading causes of skin aging. Wear a moisturizer with a high SPF for protection. Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, and drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. Follow the advice of a dermatologist to keep your skin healthy and feeling great.

Self-care

When one gets so caught up in the rat race, it’s easy to forget to take a break to just breathe. All the daily stressors take their toll on one’s body. Get a massage or facial, and have your eyebrows threaded. Go for long walks on the beach or watch your favorite television show. Do whatever helps you de-stress.

Self-care is not just a new trendy social media term. It’s important to take care of yourself and do things that you like for you to be happy.

When you look good, you feel good, and if you don’t feel good about the way you look, you can always make small changes to make yourself feel great again.
