Do you have that favourite old t-shirt or dress that you can’t bring yourself to throw out but you can’t wear it either because it so outdated? These days it is okay to wear that well-loved item from your past; just follow some simple pairing tricks to bring it back into fashion. Thanks to stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry dressing quirky is back and there is no better way to revive this trend than by revamping some old favourites.

The t-shirt

Wear a plain t-shirt under a cute floral dress and pair it with leggings and ankle boots for a warm, winter look. Then there is your good old plaid t-shirt that doesn’t have to be saved for Western themed parties anymore. This year pair your t-shirt with black evening wear – wear it under a corset or paired with a glittery skirt for a quirky and cute look.

Your comfy pants

If you have that favourite pair of comfy yoga pants or your dad’s tweeds that you just love to lie around in, then try wearing them out this winter. Pair your comfy pants with a sequinned, sexy, lace corset. Slip on some stilettos and you have an outfit that is casual yet still fun and attractive. Don’t wear your comfy pants out if they are covered in holes or stains, though, and make sure you give them a good wash!

Hiking boots

Pair your favourite hiking boots with a coat, and not much else, for a hot look this winter. Use a wide belt to cinch your coat in at the waist and go bare-legged or wear thin stockings for a cute military style look – you can even throw on an army cap to complete the look. Hiking boots are also great for wearing around town and on a rainy day you won’t have to worry about wetting your feet when you jump in those puddles.

Have fun with fashion this winter. Revive your old favourites and dare to be different!
