Wearing vs. Styling

The difference between wearing an outfit and styling an outfit comes down to your inclusion of accessories, texture, color, shape and final touches. Accessories are key to bringing together a look- they add visual interest, can sell an interesting color story, even change the vibe of the outfit. Textures, unexpected pops of color and interesting shapes give a look dimension and help to determine how dressy or casual the styling is. Lastly, finishing touches help to put your personal spin on an outfit. Whether you're pushing up or rolling a sleeve, cuffing a pant or tying your shirt tails, your finishing touches to manipulate a garment really show off your own personal style.
