7 Ways You Can Transform Simple Clothes into Stylish Creations

Fashion has the ability to promote self-expression and spark the imagination. Even the most basic clothing can serve as a blank canvas for your ideas in this fashion world.  Learning how to turn simple clothing pieces into fashionable creations is a crucial skill to acquire whether you’re on a tight budget, trying to decrease waste, or just looking for a distinctive and individualized wardrobe. As we explore numerous DIY methods, changes, and decorations that can give your wardrobe a fresh look, you’ll learn that with creativity and inventiveness, your everyday attire may show your individual taste and fashion prowess.

Iron Your Clothes

Avoid wearing wrinkled clothes if you want to appear stylish. When you are dressing for the day, take your time and iron your clothes. Smoothing any wrinkles in your outfit will make you appear polished and composed, no matter the event or what you do. If you have no time to iron them, opt for a steamer, as it helps to remove any wrinkles quickly and easily.

Choose a Pop of Color

Sometimes, all it takes to turn a simple and understated outfit into a stylish creation is a strategic and eye-catching pop of color. You can achieve this by selecting accessories, shoes, or a bold statement piece from Dihsan.com. You can infuse your wardrobe with energy and personality, elevating your style to new heights, by understanding the psychology of colors and experimenting with combinations. Whether you prefer a subtle hint or a bold splash, strategically incorporating color can make your everyday attire stand out.

Accessorize

Accessories are the secret to fashion; the finishing touches that can turn an ordinary outfit into a style masterpiece. Accessories can change and elevate your appearance, whether it’s a statement necklace that gives flair to a traditional blouse, a vibrant scarf that adds life to a simple dress, or a sleek belt that draws attention to your waist. They are adaptable pieces that give you the flexibility to express your uniqueness and creativity and continually change your wardrobe without buying new clothes. So embrace the world of accessories and let each carefully picked item reflect your personality.

Match

Matching your outfit is one of the simplest ways to look stylish. You will appear fashionable when coordinating any two-piece, such as a skirt suit, sweat suit, knit set, or pantsuit. You will then need to choose your shoes and accessories to pair with them. The colors of your outfit can convey a message about your mood, intentions, and personality.

When you wear outfits whose colors do not complement each other, it can lead to a weird appearance and interfere with the general impression you want to make. Making a fashion statement doesn’t need much effort, but learning how to dress elegantly and stylishly in casual attire will help you look gorgeous in every outfit.

Try Different Textures

Your attire will be more aesthetically appealing and will look exciting if you experiment with different textures. People’s reluctance to experiment with various textures is the main source of how drab garments, particularly black ones, appear. Utilizing materials like lace, silk, suede, ribbed knit, leather, or denim will help you create a remarkable contrast.

You still need to choose the appropriate colors, even if you are an expert at blending textures. You can experiment with various colors using the same textured cloth. It all comes down to playing with your options until you find something that suits you.

Choose the Right Proportions

Selecting the right body proportions is essential to adding style to your outfit. The simplest way to achieve the appropriate body proportion is to balance your silhouette, focusing on your body’s top and bottom halves. If you feel your clothes hide your shape or make your body look sloppy, you can easily solve this by working on your clothing type.

For instance, if you have a fitting top, you can pair it with wide-leg pants or a flowing skirt. If you have a boxy shift dress that seems to be from your mom’s wardrobe, you can tie a knot in the middle to gather excess fabric. This will transform the bulky clothing into a figure-flattering outfit. When you use these tips to revamp your wardrobe, you will get the latest trends to fit your body and elevate your comfort and style.

Tuck the Shirts or Sweater

Another fun technique to put together a unique outfit is to tuck your tops, shirts, or sweaters in your jeans. For instance, a baggy t-shirt and straight-cut jeans can look uninteresting, but by tucking the shirt in, you can change the appearance and highlight your body.

To create a creative drape, you can attempt different tucking designs, such as French, side, or full tucks. Also, you can choose not to tuck in your top all the way, whether it’s your sweater, top, or collared shirt. You can hold the middle front piece and tuck it into your pants, then see your style improve.

Endnote

You can transform your simple outfit into stylish creations by following the tips above. While choosing your clothes, get the ones you are comfortable in, which will always make you feel great. Choose the right combination of outfits depending on where you are going or the occasion, and don’t hesitate to be creative. The objective should be finding what works best for you and including your styles rather than copying someone’s look.

Charli XCX and Sam Smith Join Forces on New Single ‘In the City’

Charli XCX and Sam Smith have teamed up for the new single ‘In the City’. Premiered as Radio 1’s Hottest Record, the track was produced by Charli XCX, ILYA, PC Music founder A. G. Cook, Omer Fedi, and the 1975’s George Daniel. Check it out below.

“The song is about finding the people you truly love and connect with through wild nights out and partying in magical places,” Charli XCX said in a press release. “It’s about feeling accepted, the magnificence of being welcomed into queer spaces and those once in a lifetime people you get to meet when you’re there.”

Mumble Tide Share New Single ‘The Start Over’

Mumble Tide have dropped a new song, ‘The Start Over’. Co-produced by Ellie Mason, the track follows the Bristol-based duo’s July single ‘Kindest’. Listen to it below.

“The Start Over is about self-doubt, and feeling stuck and bad and misunderstood and ugly and boring,” vocalist Gina Leonard explained in a statement. “When we were working with Ellie on it, she described it as feeling like Gina is trying to scramble to the top of all the noise, but keeps getting knocked back. I think I was pretty fed up with myself around that time and wanted to let it all out, in the hope that I could start over. It’s probably the angriest vocal I’ve delivered so far.”

Dwight Twilley, Power Pop Pioneer, Dead at 72

Dwight Twilley, the singer-songwriter known for power-pop hits such as ‘I’m on Fire’ and ‘Girls’, has died at the age of 72. His death was confirmed in a statement from Tulsa’s Church Studio. “He peacefully departed this world, surrounded by the love of his life, Jan, and close friends,” it reads. “The loss is immeasurable, and our words can’t capture the depth of our grief. Dwight’s musical prowess touched countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of many. We are profoundly thankful for the enduring musical legacy he has bestowed upon us all.”

Twilley was born on June 6, 1951, in Tulsa, Oklahome, where he met Phil Seymour and formed the group Oister in the late 1960s. The duo eventually decided to leave Tulsa and ventured to Memphis, Tennessee to pursue professional recording. The first studio they wandered into was Sun Studios, where they met Sam Phillips’ son Jerry, who referred them to former Sun artist and producer Ray Harris. The duo credited Harris for introducing them to rockabilly and “roughing up their Beatles-obsessed style a bit,” per Twilley’s official website.

In 1974, Twilley and Seymour went to Los Angeles and signed to Shelter Records, co-owned by Denny Cordell and Tulsa’s Leon Russell. The label changed their name from Oister to the Dwight Twilley Band, whose debut single ‘I’m on Fire’, recorded at Church Studios, reached No. 16 on the Billboard charts in 1975. The Dwight Twilley Band put out two studio albums, Sincerely and Twilley Don’t Mind, which featured an appearance from their friend and label mate Tom Petty. The band broke up in 1978.

Twilley continued his career as a solo act. In 1984, he released the album Jungle and scored another top-20 hit with ‘Girls’. The Great Lost Twilley Album, which compiled early unreleased songs Twilley and Seymour had recorded for Shelter, came out in 1993. Twilley released his final album, Always, in 2014.

Snarls Share New Single ‘Big Fish’

Snarls have returned with a new track, ‘Big Fish’. The track was recorded with former Death Cab For Cutie guitarist Chris Walla, who worked with the band on 2021’s What About Flowers? EP.  Listen to it below.

“I’ve spent the majority of my life having trouble feeling truly deserving of what is mine, but after the girls and I formed Snarls, that completely changed,” Chlo White said in a statement. “I’ve seen with my eyes how hard (nearly obsessive) work can pay off. I’m no longer afraid of wanting more or wishing that my dreams come true. ‘Big Fish’ is a tribute to the simple subject of manifestation. Mick, Riley, and I have discussed how we used to stare in awe at idols like Tegan and Sara, Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette (and now, the entirety of Wolf Alice) and want that for ourselves. We have always believed in what we were doing, but after some pretty serious tours under our belt and traveling experience, I feel that we are on the path to something unimaginably cool.”

Last year, Snarls released the single ‘After You (Samantha’s Song)’. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Snarls.

Ducks Ltd. Release New Song ‘The Main Thing’

Ducks Ltd. are back with a new single, ‘The Main Thing’. Their first original material since last year’s ‘Sheets of Grey’, the track features backing vocals from Dehd’s Jason Balla. Check it out below.

“‘The Main Thing’ is about growing apart from someone whose perspective you once shared,” the band’s Tom McGreevy explained in a statement. “Being in lockstep with another person and then suddenly realizing you are no longer aligned. That you’re watching them throw themselves into the same losing battles over and over again, but also recognizing that all that losing might be the right thing to do.”

Earlier this year, as part of their series The Sincerest Form of Flattery, Ducks Ltd. shared a cover of the Feelies’ ‘Invitation’ with Mo Troper and Ratboys’ Julia Steiner. Their debut album, Modern Fiction, was released in 2021.

Making Time for Yourself as a Busy College Student: A Guide

Many college students experience a whirlwind of obligations: from academic pressures to social engagements, part-time jobs to internships, and critical self-care routines to newly formed independence. Balancing these demands can seem impossible at times, which is why carving out personal time becomes an essential survival strategy. Personal time, also regarded as ‘me time,’ is an opportunity to pause, refresh, refuel your energy, and manage stressors effectively. In this article, we guide you through the vital steps to examine your busy schedules, understand the importance of personal time, and how to efficiently create ‘me time’ in college life.

The Importance of Personal Time in a College Student’s Life

Personal time, although often overlooked, plays a crucial role in maintaining your physical, emotional, and mental sanity. It is a time to retune, destress, and recalibrate, crucial for optimal functioning. Taking personal time can make a significant difference in how efficiently you manage your numerous responsibilities.

Contrary to popular belief, taking time for yourself doesn’t mean you are selfish or lazy. It simply means you are aware of your needs and prioritize self-care to perform better. It fosters emotional health and resilience, allowing you to handle the inherent pressures of college life better.

Carving out personal time can enhance productivity levels, leading to improved academic performance. Rather than continually pushing the boundaries, occasional retreats into your comfort zones can fuel creativity and problem-solving skills.

Regular personal “me” time can also improve your relationships with others. With regular intervals of refreshment and rejuvenation, the quality of your interactions and engagements with others significantly improves.

Maybe you enjoy taking walks and listening to music. Or perhaps you enjoy smoking a hookah bowl after being productive for several hours. Enjoying some hookah shisha with other people is also a great way to de-stress. Some people enjoy making time for themselves alone while others make time for themselves by participating in a relaxing social activity like smoking hookah with friends.

Tips for Prioritizing and Managing Time Efficiently

Start by designing a practical and manageable schedule that incorporates all your activities. Schedule your hardest tasks when you are most productive—you’ll find them easier and quicker to accomplish.

Embrace the power of saying no. Even though it may be hard, understanding that you cannot be part of everything can preserve your mental health in the long run. Overstretching yourself thin can prove detrimental at both academic and personal levels.

Productivity tools and apps can be a real help. They could assist in organizing your tasks, setting reminders, and staying on top of your schedule. You may find that technology, when used correctly, can be an excellent ally in managing time.

You could consider seeking help from academic advisors or career counselors to help you develop a personalized strategy for managing your time efficiently. A professional with a degree in addiction counseling can also provide guidance if recurring substance use affects your ability to manage time efficiently.

Practical Strategies to Carve Out Personal Time in College

Start by acknowledging and accepting that taking personal time is vital for your overall well-being. It’s not an extra or lavishness; it’s an essential aspect of your student life.

Utilize break time between classes. Whether it’s reading, doing yoga, meditating or simply taking a leisurely walk, find activities that relax and recharge you.

Unplug from digital distractions. Limit social media use and turn off unnecessary notifications. Even a short digital detox can give you valuable personal time.

Finally, form a habit of waking up early or staying up slightly late, whichever suits your nature. You’d be surprised at how a quiet hour at dawn or dusk can provide a peaceful personal time.

Overall, striking a balance in college life demands prioritizing self-care and making personal time a critical part of your schedule. Through these strategies, you can successfully navigate college pressures while creating a space to relax, rejuvenate, and recognize your needs. Remember, your best investment is investing in yourself.
