Even if you have the cutest top, if you don’t properly accessorize and style it, it’s not going to go down as one of the head-turning outfits. Every fashionista knows how important it is to properly style an outfit so it doesn’t look like you just grabbed whatever, but instead took time to plan your outfit. Luckily, here are some great tips to style your tops!
Layering Your Tops
It’s not the early 2000s anymore, so layering a tank over a t-shirt is still a no go, but layering boutique tops underneath a cute jacket, cardigan or blazer is an absolute must
- Pair it off with a blazer. Do you love basic tees but want to take them to a new level? Adding a cute blazer on top of a top with a cute saying or basic stripes can take that shirt to a professional level where you can easily wear it in to the office or even for a girl’s night out.
- More of a cozy girl? Layer a soft cardigan on top of your favorite top! This allows you to seamlessly transition in the fall and spring time when weather can warm up and cool down within hours. You’ll also feel warm and cozy when things take a chilly turn.
- Nothing says date night like a cute jacket paired over your favorite boutique top with some lace accents. Whether you prefer to rock faux leather or like more of a soft material, this is a great look for going out in the evening hours and keeping warm while still looking great.
Accessorize with Jewelry Pieces
A cute top looks great on its own, but if you really want to catch people’s eyes, you need to accessorize it just right. Now of course, accessories vary depending on the type of top, as you never want to do too much, but also want to ensure that it’s not just a plain top and jeans.
- Necklaces. Depending on the type of top, a necklace is always a good choice. For those more basic tees and everyday shirts, a pendant necklace is a great option as it’s small and doesn’t stand out a lot, but still offers a little something to your look. If you have a low cut top or even a collared top, a statement necklace is a great way to add a pop of color to your look and really style your outfit. This is a great look especially for a night out with the girls or date night.
- Bracelets. Do you prefer to stack them or just go with a simple one? Depending on your top, you may want to stack to add extra color and layers to your look, but if you have a delicate long sleeved top, a delicate bracelet is the perfect match.
- Earrings. Earrings are always a good choice with any kind of top. They add a special something whether they are simple studs worn with jeans a t-shirt or they are dangly earrings worn with a nice top and skirt. Depending on the look you’re going for, you may want light and dainty or something that really stands out and catches attention. How you style your hair is also important with earrings, as you don’t want your hair to get all tangled up.
Don’t Forget the Bottom!
You’ve got the cute top, the jacket, the jewelry, but don’t
just toss on any pair of pants or any skirt. Any wrong choice could throw off
the whole look so make sure you choose wisely.
Depending on your top, you may want to wear a pair of pants or a skirt to complete your look.
- If you’re going in to work and want a more professional look, you’ll want to opt for dress pants or a nice skirt. Most offices are more casual now, but there are some that still want business professional, and in that case, you’ll want a sleek pair of dress pants with your shirt tucked in and maybe a blazer on top or a skirt paired with the top. Tucking the top in is always a good choice in a professional setting.
- If you’re going out with friends, there’s nothing wrong with a good pair of jeans. They are comfortable, they make you feel good, and they can be worn with just about any kind of top. You can tuck your top in, leave it flowy or even do a front tuck only, depending on the top and look you are going for.
Don’t Forget the Shoes
Your footwear is the final piece to your look, so you want to make sure it matches the outfit. Depending on your outfit and what you’re heading out to do you may want heels, flats, boots, or sneakers.
- Heels. A must for a business look or a date night, heels are a great choice if you are wearing jeans or a cute skirt with your top. For extra fun, if your top is floral or a plain color, add a pop of color with your heels.
- Flats can work for business or heading out for the evening for a more casual get together with friends or for a casual date night.
- Boots are a must if you are dealing with winter weather, and luckily, with so many styles, you can easily find a cute pair to go with your outfit.
- Sneakers are the shoes for casually running errands or heading out for an outdoor adventure with friends.
Now that you know how it all pairs together, you are ready
to accessorize your boutique top to create the perfect look for each day.
