12 Unexpected Outfit Combos That Will Give Your Wardrobe Life

There are times when we need a little inspiration. We get a little bored with our usual outfit that we wear so often, it has become our uniform. Much to our delight, our favorite bloggers are there to inspire us with new ways to wear our favorite pieces and we could kick ourselves for not thinking of them first. Nonetheless, there are some fun outfit combos out there and here are a few to try if your wardrobe needs a little more life.

1) A Sleeveless Top Over a Button Up Shirt

This layering technique will work for everyday looks, and for work. Layer a nice sleeveless top you have been loving and layer it over a button up shirt, it will give both tops new life and give it a new look. Style it with some trousers or a pair of jeans. Dress it up or down, it will look great either way.

2) A Graphic Tee Under a Printed Dress

Styling your graphic tee can be a great way to experiment with your own personal style. Go bold and layer it underneath a printed dress in polka dots or a fierce leopard. Add some sneakers to this look or a pair of flat mules.

3) Patterned Socks and a Pair of Heels

This is the perfect way to style your nicer heels if you want to wear them with a more casual dress. Pair your ankle strap heels with embroidered socks and give your outfit a more classic look.

4) A Slip Dress Over Pants with a Basic Tee

This is a simple outfit formula that has certainly gained popularity over time. There is no reason you can’t take your salty slip dress and give it a casual feel. Layer it over a plain T-shirt with a pair of pants or jeans. Add a pair of heels or sneakers and a bold necklace for outfit combos.

5) A Dress with a Pair of Jeans

A truly wonderful way to sport one of your nicer dresses is to wear it with a pair of jeans. It still looks nice and put together and you can transfer your beautiful dress from season to season. Add a pair of heels or perhaps a belt to give it a bit more shape for outfit combos.

6) A Dress with a Pair of Jeans and a Button Up Shirt

When you add your jeans to your amazing dress and feel like it might need a little extra, try styling it over a button up shirt. Each piece is equally versatile and when they come together, this new outfit will feel fresh and polished.

7) A Long Sleeve Tee and a Dress

A long sleeve shirt under a dress isn’t groundbreaking, but styling a fancier gown or maxi dress with a long sleeve tee shirt will give that extra something. Don’t let your nicest dress go to waste and style it with your long sleeve tee and a pair of strappy sandals or even a pair of kitten heels for outfit combos.

8) A Strapless Top Over a Jumpsuit

You can style a jumpsuit in many ways, but layering a top over it is a fresh take on revamping one of your favorite outfit staples. Layer a strapless top over your jumpsuit and style it with a pair of flats and your favorite handbag.

9) A Skinny Belt and Everything…

If you feel like your outfit for the day is missing a little something, try adding a simple accessory. A skinny belt usually does the trick, but with a little extra. Wrap the skinny belt around everything, your top, your jacket, even your scarf. It will subtly cinch your look giving it a little more shape.

10) A Sheer Dress and a Graphic Tee

The graphic tee is not too casual, and I will always believe in this. You can layer it underneath and over just about anything. Why discard your favorite Aerosmith tee and layer it underneath your bounciest dress? Add a pair of jeans and some heals and you have achieved the perfect rocker chic look.

11) Mix Your Prints

This is a wonderful style trick to experiment with and can create some great looks. Find a romantic top with a floral look and pair it with your patterned skirt or trousers with one color in common. It will create a bit of harmony and give you a new way to wear your best pieces.

12) A Dress and Trousers

If there is one thing we have learned, it is that your dress is much more versatile than you ever knew. Style one of our favorite dresses with a pair of trousers and some open-toed heels. It will look very chic and polished.
