If you like to stand out from the crowd in fashion, then you’ll know the importance of finding unique, one of a kind pieces. Trendsetters are careful to follow the latest fashions, but they always put their own personal touch into an outfit. Shopping the latest looks online or on the high street is a great place to start, but you never know who might turn up to the party in the same outfit as you.
One way to ensure your ensemble is always original is by customising your clothing. Put your personality into your outfit by adding or removing – cut sleeves, change silhouettes, add some embellishments. Simply by adding Swarovski crystals to a few items of clothing or accessories, you can get the latest look which is exclusively yours.
Here’s a few ideas for inspiration:
Co-ords
From tiny two pieces to oversized suits, absolutely everyone is rocking co-ordinates this season. Demi Lovato, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens and Solange Knowles are just a few of the celebrities and models who have been spotted rocking the trend. Personalise your favourite two piece with a bit of sparkle! How about making a studded collar for your top and add a subtle jewelled effect at the bottom of the skirt or trousers?
Fringing
70s fringing is definitely back for SS16 – and who can complain! This casual chic look is going to be all over jackets, bags, skirts and tops so it’s time to embrace it and take it to the next level. Turn a casual top or jacket into an evening look with the help of Swarovski crystals. Using specialist fabric glue such as E6000, apply one crystal to the end of each layer of fringing. When the fringing moves it will now catch the light and make you feel much more glamorous.
Footwear
When it comes to footwear, why not update a shoe which is oh so timeless – the Converse plimsoll? Cover the tip of the toe in clear crystals for a Swarovski converse makeover, which is sure to glam up any casual outfit.
Tote Bags
They have been seen all over the runways which means the tote bag is here to stay this season.Take your style up a level by blinging up your tote bag with Swarovski crystals. Again you can use E6000 glue to carefully place crystals around the perimeter of the bag, or in a design of your choice. You could even personalise your bag with your initial.
Customising your wardrobe is fun and simple, and will always keep you one step ahead when it comes to style.
