We're kicking off a fresh start to the year with a brand-new look. That doesn't mean we're shopping; instead, we're pulling from the clothes we already have and revamping our look with a few strategic styling hacks. Maybe it's something as simple as changing up the way you drape a jacket, layering a dress, or the shoes you style with a certain outfit. Maybe it's embracing a totally new trend. In any case, these small switch-ups can have a huge impact on how you look and feel in the new year.
Feeling inspired? Join us and our annual styling hacks challenge, kicking off Jan. 1. Just check out the full month of prompts here and join us on social media to share your latest looks with the hashtag #PSStylingHacks. We can't wait to see what you come up with.
Perking up your outfit is as easy as adding a scarf or bandanna to your look. Tie it around your neck, loop it around the strap of your bag, or wear as a belt — however you like it, work it.
Layer up the fashion girl way with a jacket styled nonchalantly off the shoulders. Just the simple drape can make anything you wear — even a puffer! — feel infinitely more stylish.
Take a blazer, button-down, trousers, brogues, or any other traditional "menswear staple" and give it your own twist.
Swap out your neutrals for some high-impact color. If you're really feeling it, go for it on a dress or head-to-toe look. Otherwise, start small with a flash of color on a bag or shoes.
Give your jeans the day off, but embrace denim in all of 2018's cool silhouettes, like a tailored jacket or skirt.
Take style cues from a friend today and coordinate your outfits for double the impact.
Slip on a vintage tee or sweatshirt and give it new life with a pencil skirt, cool trousers, and your favorite pair of heels (or flats!).
Embrace the monochromatic color effect and make a statement with an outfit in varying shades of the same color.
This one's easy — just tuck your shirt in the front or the side, but leave the rest undone to channel fashion girl vibes.
We fall into denim styling ruts easily — break it by dressing up your jeans and swapping out sneakers and t-shirts for your favorite blouses and special footwear.
Florals and leopard print? Absolutely! Take your favorite prints and mix and match them to create an outfit that pops.
Dress up your outfit the easiest way we know how — with a pair of gorgeous earrings!
Don't underestimate how cool a pair of socks can look peeking out from your sneakers, brogues, and even heels. Let them be the star of your look today.
Slip dresses and boudoir-inspired pieces are easier to pull off than you think. Layer them up with cozy staples and pair them with flat, more modest footwear to take them into daytime.
Even if it's just on your shoes, embrace some metallics or glitter. Sequined tops look great with boyfriend jeans and sequined skirts are perfect for dressing down with a sweatshirt.
Button-downs have long been staples in our closet. Take yours and rework it. Layer it up with a vest or a crop top, let a longer hemline peek out from a sweater, or belt it to take it to a totally different place.
This one's become a fashion crowd favorite — just add a dress right over jeans or trousers — et voilà! Your dress has a whole new life.
White booties and mules have been all over our favorite street style stars, now it's your turn. Embrace the Winter white shoe trend to create a totally on-trend outfit.
Basket bags and grocery totes are fair game during Winter, too. Just add yours to your usual look and see how versatile these sweet bags really are.
Take your track pants out of the gym and into, well, wherever the day takes you. Add a cozy sweater and flats for brunch or style them with heels and a jacket for a night out.
Love your sock boots? Have a thing for your over-the-knee pair? Make it all about them and the rest of your outfit will come easy.
No need to retire a Summer dress you love, just warm it up with a turtleneck underneath or a sweater throw over top. Then, finish with booties or tights to complete the Winterized makeover.
Pull your floral dresses, tops, and skirts out of your closet give them some air time. Try adding sneakers or sock boots to juxtapose a feminine frock you may have forgotten about.
Swap your heels for a day and consider adding flats to even your most sophisticated looks. Yes, flats happen to look fantastic with sheath dresses and suits, too.
Make dressing easy when you opt for just one piece. Slip into the jumpsuit of your choice and call it a day.
Robes, button-downs, long cardigans, you name it — it's all fair game! Style up a basic outfit with one of these pieces layered up over top and suddenly jeans and a t-shirt don't feel quite so basic anymore.
Exaggerated shoulders, kitten heels, glove pumps, miniskirts, and PVC are all having a moment, giving us major '80s vibes. Incorporate the '80s element of your choice and give it a contemporary spin.
Models and street style stars are having a love affair with the chunky-soled running sneakers we swear our dads were wearing in the '90s. Somehow they look infinitely cooler than we remember, styled now with sleek suits and girlie dresses — take 'em for a spin and you'll see what we mean.
Stripes are always a staple. Pull yours out and style them any way you please.
A jacket goes from outerwear to top just by buttoning it up all the way. Make a denim jacket your new favorite top just like so.
We live in our denim — today, give it a rest. Shake up your style routine by slipping on that dress or skirt, even trousers you never wear and saying a temporary farewell to your jeans.
