You open your closet and nothing feels right. You keep wearing the same combinations and your wardrobe seems to lack any personality. Sound familiar? Then it is time to refresh your wardrobe. And you can do that perfectly well with what you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to replace everything. With a few smart adjustments, and sometimes one or two targeted purchases, you give your outfits their spark back. Below are six solutions, plus color combinations per season to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First: shop your own closet<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you buy anything new, look at what is already there. Hang your closet by color, from light to dark. You then see at a glance which colors you have a lot of, which are missing and which combinations you have never tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then lay a few pieces on the bed that you never normally wear together. You will be surprised how many “new” outfits are already hanging in your closet. Take a photo, so you have them at hand next time. Do you notice that you keep reaching for the same few pieces? Then those are your favorites, and they say a lot about what you really like. Use them as the starting point for everything else you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 ways to refresh your wardrobe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Add an accent color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you wear a lot of black, grey or beige? Then your closet quickly feels flat. One color from your palette, in a blouse, scarf or bag, immediately brings life to your outfits. Choose your power color<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Try a new color combination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you always wear the same combinations? Combine two colors from your palette that you have never worn together. Because they come from the same palette, chances are it works straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Play with texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the same fabric makes outfits predictable. Put smooth against coarse: a satin skirt with a chunky knit sweater, or a silk blouse under a wool blazer. You can read more ideas in how to combine neutral colors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Let accessories do the work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it is not your clothes, but the lack of accessories. Statement earrings, a belt that emphasizes your waist, a bag in your accent color or a beautiful scarf completely change a simple outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Choose a different silhouette<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you always wear skinny jeans? Try wide-leg trousers for a change. Always loose sweaters? Tuck one into your trousers. A different proportion between top and bottom immediately feels like a new look, with the same clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Wear layers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A blouse under a sweater, a cardigan over a dress or a blazer over a T-shirt. With layers you combine colors and textures, and turn a basic outfit into something with more depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New color combinations per season<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
