The Hidden Junk: 4 ways to maximize your style with things in your closet

During covid, everyone did some online shopping that was not needed for their closet, and you probably think half of the items in your closet have no use or aren't in style anymore. Think again, there are so many pieces that are timeless and can be worn repeatedly just by sprucing them up with a fun sweater, or some jewelry. The so-called “junk” in your closet is nothing but perfect pieces to maximize your style.

1. Layers:

There are many pieces of clothing that can make your style stand out. Firstly, to start layering you need a base, like anything that you start this is the most important as it helps create the full look you are going for. Base starters are plain blue jeans and a white tee, or an oversized tee with cargo pants. These are all basic clothing items that you may already have lying around. To layer, a good start is playing with jackets, a good leather coat or button-down is always a good go-to. It's all right to stop here but we always want to go beyond when we are going for a maximized look. Next, you can add some jewelry, a necklace or some hoop earrings that can stand out in a good outfit. The most important thing about layering is being able to play with many different textures, patterns and colour's. There are endless possibilities just with things you have in your closet 

2. Statement pieces: 

Starting with statement pieces. If you have something from years ago that you do not wear anymore it can be used as a statement piece. For example, when looking through my closet for this article I put together some statement pieces that add some flare to my look. A purse with lots of colours or even a jacket. Statement pieces are supposed to be eye-catching which is why they would be a perfect way to maximize your everyday wear. 

3. Try new things:

This can be a fantastic way to have the same clothes but not have to feel like you are wearing the same things repeatedly. if you feel like you're running out of clothes it's probably because you keep wearing the same outfits, most of the time if you switch things up like wearing a sweater with a t shirt to adding a button-up over top of a dress can make it feel like a whole fresh look. 

4. Wear what makes you feel good: 

To have the perfect maximized style, you need to feel good about what you wear. Confidence is the key to having great style and looking your best when wearing it. Pick colours you know you look good in they can make you look good instantly. For most people fashion is a way to express who you are. So, make sure when you are picking out an outfit you pick something that's yours! A maximized style can be overwhelming at first since it's bold and put there but having the right confidence and attitude will make you more eye-catching.
