How To Wear “In” Items In Real Life
It’s fun to know what’s trending, but how do you actually make it work in your lifestyle and wardrobe? There are tons of great trends happening for 2023, and they can work in almost any closet, and I am going to show you how!
Let’s review my favorite 2023 trends, while keeping these tips in mind: First, to make any trend work in real life you must start by picking the trends that you actually like. Second, do not alter your style to fit a trend, alter a trend to fit your style.
When getting dressed I typically like to start building my outfit from the bottom to the top, so let’s start with something almost every woman has in her closet: a pair of skinny jeans. Build in some trends that you like, and you’ll still feel updated, even if you’re wearing an outdated denim shape.
Perhaps you’re ready to take the next step, like adding a new denim shape to your wardrobe! Don’t freak out, more times than not, if you keep the foundation of your outfit the same with your tops and shoes, , all you have to do is swap the skinnies for the wide leg jeans. Be mindful of the shoes with the wide leg jeans though! Try not to over think it too much.
My favorite trend has been incorporating elevated sweatpants into my wardrobe. What are elevated sweatpants? They have weight and structure, they are a solid color, and there’s either no drawstring or the drawstring and the pants match. Anyway, as mentioned before, simply sub your skinnies or your wide leg jeans for the elevated sweatpants and you have even more depth in your wardrobe!
It’s super fun to know what’s in and what’s trending, but at the end of the day you have to make it work for you. As you can see from the styling options above, you don’t have to over complicate it. Just build your outfit with items you are comfortable styling and start playing around and substituting to see what works for you. Remember, this should be fun!
