Belt it out – Cinching your waist can take any look from basic to scene-stealing. Utilize your favorite embellished belt to reign in an oversized piece, create a more feminine silhouette, break up a monochromatic look or add an unexpected pop of color. Pro-tip: If you don’t have a belt handy, substitute a long sleeve shirt tied around your waist instead.

Think outside the box – Challenge yourself creatively by veering away from the parameters of basic fashion.
