How to Look Stylish Even When You’re Not Feeling It

We all have those days when we just aren’t in the mood to get dolled up. This can happen to the best of us, no matter how much we love fashion or dressing up for the occasion at hand. Looking put together on a daily basis can be a real handful at times, especially if you are just having one of those days where you have little to no energy to spare. But sometimes we all just need a break. Societal views and collective thinking have put such high standards on appearance and always looking a certain way. This can be completely exhausting and draining to constantly have to think about how people will perceive you based on your physical appearance. The next time you are having an off day, don’t fret too much. There are some tips and tricks you can use to still look decent when you don’t feel like putting in the effort. Read on to learn how to look stylish even when you are not feeling it.

Add a pop of color

Adding some color to your wardrobe is an easy way to make you look and feel better. Color can come in the form of the main piece of clothing you are wearing or an accessory. You can add color through a belt, a hat, or a handbag. You could even wear shoes that add some color to your outfit. But whatever you choose, adding some color will definitely give you a bit more upbeat look to your outfit for the day. Color can also be mood-enhancing, so a bright spot in your ensemble may just make you feel a little better about your day overall.

Wear a statement handbag

You may not feel like making a bold statement with your outfit on a lazy day. In that case, let your handbag do the talking for you. A handbag can draw a lot of attention, which can be good if you feel like putting minimal effort into the rest of your look for the day. If you have a big beautiful handbag on your arm, it would actually be a nice style to wear something simple and understated for your outfit. So the next time you are ready to dress down, dress up your look with a statement bag, clutch or purse. You can double down and deem your handbag as your pop of color as well.

Spice up your jewelry

Jewelry is a great option to throw on if you aren’t in the mood to get super involved with your look. A simple outfit can be totally transformed with the right jewelry. Depending on what you choose and your personal style, jewelry is a wonderful way to express your personality and mood, even if you don’t feel like doing so with your actual outfit. Jewelry is such a versatile accessory and can immediately elevate any outfit. It’s a great option to invest in because it is also helpful when you are in a good mood and wanting to dress up for the day. So keeping jewelry ready to wear for your good days and bad days is definitely a smart move.

Don’t be afraid to wear a messy bun

Messy buns are always a go-to look. No matter if you are having a dressy day or you are totally not feeling it. Messy buns have been a trend for a while, and it doesn’t appear that this look will be going out of style any time soon. This could be because a messy bun is such a versatile look. You can pair it with a casual look and it goes right in tow; or you can toss a messy bun together for a more refined look, and still look cool and chic. You can even pair a messy bun with a formal outfit, depending on how you style it. So for any day that is just not one you want to spend a lot of time looking cute for, throw together a messy bun. You’ve just turned a potential bad hair day into a casually cool and effortlessly cute hair day.
