Putting on an outfit should make you feel and look good. However, we can't deny that some outfits can do better and look more put together.

If you are someone who struggles with your OOTDs, here are some simple and effortless ways to instantly spruce up your outfit.

#1 Add a belt

Every girl needs to own at least one black belt! Other than being practical (helps to tighten loose clothing), it also looks good with almost anything.

Pair a black belt with shorts, blazer, jeans or pants and it will instantly add a stylish vibe to your otherwise plain outfit.

Here's a tip: it's best to tuck in your top so that the belt can be seen.

#2 Layer necklaces

Instead of just wearing one necklace, stand out from the crowd by layering a few necklaces to add colour to your outfit.

Remember to only layer necklaces of the same colour together to prevent a fashion disaster! We also recommend not layering more than three necklaces as it's too overwhelming and will not look good.

#3 Add hair clips to your hair

Hair clips are coming back in trend thanks to BLACKPINK's Jennie! Adding multiple silver or gold hair clips will instantly make your outfit go from plain to party-ready.

If Jennie's style of wearing multiple hair clips is too much for you, try wearing one or two instead. Choose from pearls, gems to plain ones to go with your outfit.

Stay away from dark coloured hair clips that won't make a difference.

#4 Tuck in your top

Tucking your top into your bottoms is an easy way to make your body look more proportionate. Some tops are too long so when tucked out, it makes your legs look short which is not a cute look.

Tucking in your top also shows off more lower body curves and the patterns on your skirt, jeans or shorts.

#5 Put on high funky socks

If you are wearing jeans and sneakers where your ankles will be showing, put on some coloured or patterned socks to give your outfit a pop of colour.

Wear socks that have patterns or colours similar to what you have on your outfit.

#6 Put on hoop earrings

Hoop earrings are minimalistic yet can look good with any outfit.

See if bigger or smaller hoops suit your face shape more. Then, tie up your hair or tuck your hair behind your ears to bring attention to your earrings. If you don't have any suitable jewellery to go with your outfit, we say a pair of hoop earrings will suffice and make your outfit look better instantaneously.

#7 Iron your clothes

Whether you iron your clothes or not can make or break your entire outfit! A wrinkly top will not look good regardless of how much you style it.

Take a few minutes out of your day to iron your clothes before putting them on to be in an OOTD that looks presentable and neat.
