3 Cheats to turn a basic look into an #OOTD

When your morning is frantic – shower, hair and makeup, and a granola bar on the go – a basic look is all you have time for. But that’s no reason to look drab. With just a few easy tweaks, you can turn your run-of-the-mill outfit into an Instagram #OOTD in no time!

#OOTD 1

What you need: A statement coat

What you do: An absolute winter necessity – to beat off the cold and top off any look! Steer clear of black and go for colour in a longer length. Then throw it over a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, your pencil skirt and pussy-bow blouse or just about any other outfit combo you can think of.

#OOTD 2

What you need:  A felt hat

What you do:  Warm colours, such as emerald green or burgundy, are versatile yet still offer a point of interest to your look, especially if you’re prone to only wearing monochrome in winter. Ditch the baseball cap and opt for a fedora instead – it’s ladylike and looks amazing with everything!

#OOTD 3

What you need:  An eye-catching handbag

What you do:  From London to Milan, fashion week street style stars all sported quirky, cute bags featuring text, graphic prints and odd shapes. Choose a handbag that resonates with you (if you love French fries, show it off with your most-used accessory!) and can be worn with a variety of clothing you already own.

You can create a fashionable wardrobe on a budget! Here’s how.
