6 Easy (and Affordable) Ways to Make All Your Basics Look Very "2023"
Fashion month's street style is usually the center of jaw-dropping moments. Fashion editors, influencers, and buyers are spotted in extravagant accessories, full-designer looks, and anything that makes a statement. While many still took the maximal approach, I noticed a shift as I spotted others using small but mighty styling tricks to add a designated "oomph" to their basics—colorful socks, sheer tights, and substantial layering to name a few. I couldn't help but take notes, as I'm always looking for more accessible ways to take my outfits to the next level.
Wearability was a common theme both on and off the runway, so it seems like the perfect time to give your basics a little extra love this season. You probably already have T-shirts, belts, and tights in your closet. And below, you'll find the tricks you need to make all of them feel more of-the-moment. Sometimes, trends can feel out of reach, but the six below are right here for you to try. Keep scrolling to read about the styling trends that hold the WWW-approved trifecta: trendy, wearable, and affordable.
1. Wear Two Belts, Not Just One
A belt already has the ability to elevate a look, so two belts definitely add that extra trend-forward touch you might be looking for.
2. Put On a Colorful Pair of Socks
Even if you're someone who usually doesn't play around with color, this styling trick is easy enough for you to give it a shot. Pair bright-colored socks of your choice (red and blue seem to be fashion favorites) with slingbacks, ballet flats, and mules. They'll stand out best against a neutral ensemble.
3. Layer Your T-Shirts Together
The current state of T-shirt layering may not be exactly how it was in the early 2000s, but it's much chicer.
4. Add a Rosette Accessory
Rosettes have been the subject of many conversations here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and the trend continues to gain traction among the fashion set. Spotted on the red carpet, street style, and runways, this "pretty" trend is a simple way to make your outfit more alluring.
5. Stack Gold and Silver Jewelry
Stacking jewelry is always a sure way to update your basics, but mixing metals just adds that extra flair. Whether you're team gold or team silver, it's time to call a truce and give this jewelry trend a try.
6. Layer Sheer Tights Under Your Skirts
I used to try to brave the cold without tights under my maxi skirts because I thought it would ruin my look, but I was clearly wrong. If anything, it ends up making the look even better. Fishnet tights were also spotted on Tory Burch's F/W 23 runway if you want an even trendier approach.
