66 Styling Hacks That Fashion Girls Use Daily

Simply take your favorite wardrobe staples to the next level by swapping in a pair of heels, polished outerwear, or a chic bag.

If sweats are your go-to lazy look, we invite you to step it up a notch. Add your favorite sweatshirt to a flouncy skirt or a statement top to your joggers. This mashup might become your favorite yet.

Stick to a single color family to make a subtle, but impossibly cool, statement in varying shades of the same hue.

Say yes to prints — in fact, the more the merrier. Layer on contrasting prints in similar colors, or play up patterns in brighter shades to make a serious impact.

Let a graphic tee do the talking all day. Add to jeans for a casual vibe, or tuck one into your favorite skirt for a cool twist.

Rework your go-to look by incorporating a bit of athleisure — think a hoodie, track pants, or zip-up you can layer right into your everyday outfit. Watch how it instantly gets a fresh 2017 feel.

Let your favorite boots guide your outfit choice, then make sure whatever you choose puts them in the spotlight.

They say opposites attract. Test drive the theory, and experiment by pairing your ladylike pieces with your bohemian maxi or your menswear loafers with the flirtiest dress in your closet. Have fun with it, get creative, and watch the compliments roll in.

Jeans are undoubtedly the workhorses of our closets, so it's no wonder we don't use our other pieces enough. Today, give your jeans the day off, and reach for a pair of trousers, a skirt, or a dress that hasn't gotten nearly enough wear yet.

We firmly believe chic pajamas should be worn outside the house too. Style yours with your favorite heels, fancy flats, and luxe bag to give them an I-didn't-just-roll-out-of-bed feel.

Don't let your clothes have all the fun. Play up your style with bags, shoes, hats, and jewels that do the talking.

Breathe new life into your wardrobe staples with creative layers and cool proportions. Make it all about shaking up the ordinary.

Winter white may just be the most elegant color scheme. Get involved with chic pieces in cream-colored finishes to perk up jeans and beyond.

Tie one on to liven up your look — you may never want to take it off.

Give even dressed-up frocks a more approachable spin by styling them over your trousers and jeans. You may just find your dresses have a lot more life in them than you thought.

Jean jackets aren't what they used to be. In fact, they go with everything. Work yours into the mix; temper a flirty dress, a dramatic maxi, or a pair of polished trousers with the piece that goes effortlessly with everything you own.

Chokers, Chuck Taylors, slip dresses, bell-bottoms, and more of today's throwback trends make for some pretty awesome outfit starters. Embrace the one that speaks to you, and give it a contemporary upgrade.

Pull out that blazer, that pantsuit, or those brogues, and style that borrowed-from-the-boys look with your own personal twist.

Even if you're addicted to your heels, give them a rest, and pay some much-deserved attention to the unsung heroes of your closet: your chicest flats.

Reinvent the concert tee/sweatshirt you splurged on at the Formation tour, and work it into the coolest #OOTD you didn't think of yet.

Why save your fancy stuff for a special occasion? Make it work for just an average day by styling something silky or shimmery with sensible flats or layering up with an oversize sweater.

Make your outerwear the whole outfit when you cinch it at the waist. It'll streamline the look, and you'll hardly even care what you've got hiding underneath your coat.

Button-downs and pencil skirts, or trousers, may be a staple, but today we invite you to rethink it. Add your button-down to something unexpected to spark a whole new look you love.

Equal parts style and comfort, a blanket scarf will be your cold-weather best friend. Tuck it around your neck, or throw it over your shoulders — either way you'll be cozy and comfy.

When it's freezing out, two coats are better than one. Layer a long, slim coat, denim jacket, or anorak under a shorter, more voluminous one to keep the look stylish and fresh.

Instead of adding bulk with a heavy scarf, try layering a turtleneck under your favorite dress. Your arms and neck will be protected, and you can avoid toting a heavy scarf around.

If you plan on wearing skimpy shoes, do your best to cover as much leg as possible. Doubling up sheer tights with cozy socks (or, even over-the-knee socks) helps keep your tootsies — and legs — from freezing.

If you're tired of wearing basic blue jeans, it's easy to don a distressed pair without exposing too much skin. Slide on a pair of flannel tights under your jeans, and you won't feel the cold air at all. It's also easy to sneak cozy tights under loose billowing pants; no one will ever know.

Some days, all you can think about is staying cozied up in your favorite sweatshirt. Make the look work-appropriate by opting for a dressed-up version or layering a button-down underneath. Top with a sweater or sleek blazer, and you're good to go.

Long sleeves were meant to be rolled, right? While a button-down can feel stiff, rolling up the sleeves gives it an easy nonchalance. It's the easiest way to inject a little cool factor into even your most classic shirts.

We have J.Crew to thank for a lot of our favorite styling tricks, specifically the half tuck. Rather than tuck in the whole shirt, this look conveys a more casual, current vibe that turns even a jeans-and-t-shirt outfit into more of a statement. Tuck half the shirt or the whole front, and let the tail hang over the waistline.

Highlight your favorite pieces, and don't be afraid to mix metals and layer it on. Make today all about celebrating the jewelry you've been "meaning to wear" for months. Bonus: it makes thinking about the rest of your outfit way easy.

Bare ankles and exposed feet are unpleasant when it's chilly. Pair your favorite flats with a pair of warm socks for an unexpected look that will help keep you warm. If your shoes tend to run small, aim for a pair of socks with less bulk; that way, your shoes won't pinch.

Who says suits have to be stuffy? Shake yours up by adding a t-shirt or breaking up the suit entirely and adding the trousers to a different jacket or blouse.

Bandanas are so much more than they used to be — and they make making a statement easy. Just add one to whatever else you're wearing. Yep, go ahead. It's that easy.

Make a sweatshirt office-appropriate by adding it to your elevated separates for a chic, not-sloppy effect.

Sure, you've been about sneakers for a while now, but have you slipped them on with that pretty midi dress in your closet? Now's the time. Do something unexpected.

That printed blouse/pants/dress deserves to be worn, so embrace the pattern, and make a statement today.

Forget your neutrals for a day, and embrace bold, bright color from head to toe. We dare you.

Sparkle doesn't have to be for evenings only. Make a sequin dress work for day with a t-shirt layered underneath, and watch the compliments roll in.

Whether you reach for fringe or something furry, make today the day you make a statement with texture.

Life is short, so break out the heels you've been too timid to wear or the metallic flats you've had on hold, and wear them already.

Take that Summer piece out of hiding, and style it up with your go-to Winter essentials. A floral dress happens to look amazing with tights and combat boots.

Flowy Summer dresses are one of the easiest pieces to wear during the transitional season. Choose a midlength dress and style it with a long coat and a pair of closed-toe wedges to make it Fall-appropriate.

An easy styling hack for this Summer staple is to throw on a pair of black tights underneath. You can style your denim skirt with a pair of stark white booties and an oversize blazer to make your look feel less casual.

Give your crop top more coverage with a jacket and high-waist pants. This will allow you to show off just a sliver of skin without having to worry about getting too cold or showing too much.

Add a crop top over a tee for a totally covered twist.

Toss on a light jacket and some knee-high boots, and you're set.
