Reinvent your Summer-staple white jeans or trousers with a sweater that's snuggle-worthy and accessories in a darker palette.

Wear your light Summer maxi over a tee to bring your look casual vibes.

Tired of your basic white button-down? Note: it looks entirely different when worn with leather leggings or layered under a slip dress. Sometimes, it's not about what you have, but how you wear it.

A liquid-silver slip dress is a stunning option for a cocktail party, but add a turtleneck underneath and it's just as ideal for a day out. Reinvent any of your favorite evening pieces by swapping in casual accessories and simple layers.

A simple way to add some oomph to a v-neck sweater? Just wear it off the shoulder. This little trick will come in handy when taking a look day to night.

Take a pretty slip or lacy top and give it a new life for daytime over a t-shirt or turtleneck, or tucked under a blazer or chunky cardigan. It's a sweet way to get more bang for your buck on a sexier piece you love.

If you've been nonchalantly throwing a sweater over your shoulders, you may have underestimated how much your knit can add to your look. Tie it across your shoulders, your waist, or crossbody style to add a little more outfit intrigue.

If you're lazy-day outfit revolves around a worn sweatshirt and jeans, you do you! But don't be afraid to add to it with a killer pair of shoes, a necklace you love, or a great bag that makes you feel a bit more pulled together.

You don't have to throw on a dress for every fancy occasion. For this one, slip into your favorite jeans, then make it all about the fancy top.

Give your favorite tee or sweatshirt a new identity when you counter it with something a lot more elevated, like a great skirt or tailored trousers.

Don't be afraid to give your $10 tee a high-fashion makeover with bottoms in a more luxe material — think leather, tailored suiting, or even a sequined skirt.

The easiest way to make a dress Fall or Winter ready? Just add boots. We especially love when a pair of statement-making knee-highs counter a something on the sweeter side.

Cardigans have long been touted as a conservative essential, but they hardly feel like they're for your grandparents when worn off the shoulder. Remix the way you wear yours by leaving it open over a t-shirt, buttoning just the first couple buttons, or even wearing backwards.

When the weather cools, it's a perfect opportunity to get creative with your layers. Try shorts over tights or a skirt over trousers to reinvent your outfit basics — suddenly, not so basic!

Sometimes, finding the perfect vintage piece can feel like you struck gold. Style a vintage logo dress with gold accessories, or pull out any of your favorite vintage finds — everything from your grandma's hand-me-downs to your SO's college sweatshirt is fair game! It's up to you to give it a new life.

A double — or even triple — dose of denim is a guaranteed way to make your typical jeans more interesting. Then, get even more playful by pairing the monochromatic look with accessories that pop.

No need to save your prettiest dresses for a night out or a special occasion. A great dress is the easiest kind of one-and-done dressing for work, the weekend, and beyond.

Add combat boots or sneakers to your prettiest dress and see how opposites really do attract. This kind of juxtaposition is what makes a really great outfit.

Give your jeans an impeccably polished makeover with a blazer and heels. The effect is an elevated take on the everyday classics you can return to again and again with confidence.

Make a dress more playful just by subbing in sneakers. What kind, you ask? Trainers, sleek white kicks, chunky dad sneakers — you can't go wrong with any of these styles.

Go all out and add a maxi dress right over your pants or jeans, or keep it simpler and swap a top for a shorter babydoll. The mix feels contemporary and so much cooler than your usual t-shirt.

Denim shirts, dresses, vests, and jumpsuits are fair game, but give your jeans the day off today and see how creative you can get. We love the look of a denim shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers or a pencil skirt.

Literally! Just by cinching your trousers at the ankle, you can create one of the trendiest looks of the season — and all it requires are the ankle straps on your shoes or a little extra string.

Trade in bright colors and print for an outfit that makes a statement in a cool, dark palette.

For the trendsetter in you, these styling tips are all about embracing new looks and what the fashion world is buzzing about right now. From romantic sleeves to animal print, this set of hacks relies heavily on embracing a new aesthetic and pushing yourself beyond the traditional outfit formula.

Get romantic with your wardrobe this season. Opt for puffy sleeves or Victorian-esque midi dresses that'll whisk you away.

Our tops get plenty of attention. For this next trick, we're making it all about the pants. From animal print to polka-dots or bright red trousers, liven up your outfit by slipping into some bold trousers. They're easier to wear than you think — just add a solid sweater, tee, or jacket on top.

Layer up with a vest in any iteration — denim, leather, or even tailored varieties are a perfect way to transition Summer staples to Fall and add an extra layer of warmth.

Give a cold-weather outfit a fashion-girl spin by combining various textures together into one look. Neutral shades like brown, honey, and black are the easiest way to combine a mix of pieces. Plus, they look great with a variety of colors and prints.

Trade flashy silhouettes and color for an outfit that simply speaks volumes with great tailoring or a dreamy color palette.

For those who believe black is boring, print may already be your thing. Now, just embrace it (times 10!) by wearing a pattern you love from head to toe.

Blazers, suiting, tailored trousers, and any of your favorite "menswear" pieces are up for grabs! Make them your own with a fresh spin that feels like you, whether that's dressing down a suit with a t-shirt or throwing your favorite blazer over a dress.

Don't be afraid to stay neutral. Forget gray, we're all about beige and camel hues — let this be your color palette this season.

Forgo your regular jeans-and-top look in favor of a pulled-together jumpsuit. It's the piece that does all the work for you, giving a cool, pulled-together vibe from head-to-toe. Plus, they work for just about every occasion with the switch of your footwear.

If you're not a heels girl, embrace the block heel with dresses and skirts. From versatile black styles to colorful patent leather, there's an option for every aesthetic that's guaranteed to be your most comfy and walkable heel.

Print mixing can be as subtle as adding a bag or clutch in a contrasting or complementary print. Even a pair of printed pumps can be part of the pattern mixing! Start there, and see how your outfit evolves.

Let a multiprinted skirt be the star of the show by keeping the rest of your outfit neutral, or replicate the effect with a bold top and understated jeans. Whatever the pairing, the results are the same "look at me" vibe without saying anything at all!

Make a statement in a wash of one color or cool tonal pieces that give you a whole vibe. Bonus points for dressing in your power color.

Animal print is a fashion-girl favorite for a reason. In neutral tones, like classic leopard print, it adds subtler interest to your outfit; in bolder patterns, like zebra, it can be the star of your whole look. Introduce animal print the way you want to — start small or dream big! In every case, it's sure to be a head-turner.

Instead of just choosing one pastel piece, mix and match a few different shades and break them up with a clean white tee.

Challenge yourself to wear anything leather but your leather jacket. Try a paper-bag trouser and heels, simplified with a cropped tee.

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.

To give your little black dress collection a modern update, try a silhouette with puffy sleeves. The touch of volume will feel fresh without going over the top.

These styling hacks are all about how to utilize the details to your advantage. From the shoes to the bags and the jewels, fashion girls know these little things make a big difference.

Scarves are the simple way to rev up any outfit. It's the detail you can add tied in your hair, on the strap of your bag, as a belt, a bandana, and beyond!

Give a great pair of shoes the attention they deserve and keep the rest of your outfit simple. Just let your shoes do the talking!

Fedora, baseball cap, floppy hat — it doesn't matter. Any of these pieces will give your look a distinctly cool vibe, and quite possibly save you from a bad hair day!

Add a belt to to cinch the waist of your coat — et voila! — a brand new outfit is born, not to mention one that helps show off your shape.

Adding a handbag in the same color as your outfit can give your whole look a kind of theme. We love the playfulness it brings; then have some fun when you mix up your footwear entirely.

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 so much easier.

Do like the fashion girls do and throw your shoulder bag or fanny pack on crossbody style. It instantly gives anything you're wearing an on-trend vibe that requires next to no effort.

We love a statement shoe, but another equally impactful accessory is the statement bag! Whether you try a colorful silk mini, embellished shoulder bag, or printed clutch, a not-so-simple bag will bring any look to life.

So you have the perfect outfit, but want to make it pop. Channel your inner Blair Waldorf and add a headband; your outfit just got a thousand times more interesting.

Beautiful boots are meant to be shown off! Give them the outfit real estate they deserve and tuck your pants, jeans, and jumpsuits right into them.

Head-to-toe brights are fun, but for a sleek downplay, style in black accessories to offset bold colors.

Head-to-toe black can easily fall flat, so to stray away from noir shoes and bags, swap for colorful styles in a coordinating tone.
