Sometimes we all need a change and switching up your look from what you’re used to means that you can try something new and give yourself a confidence boost at the same time. Whether you’re looking to try out a new hairstyle, or simply hoping to look more revitalised – there are ways you can do this that won’t break the bank or take up valuable time. If you’re looking to change up your look, read on and we’ll give you a few ideas on how you can do this below. 

Wear what you love 

When it comes to changing up your look, clothes are a great place to start – you don’t have to purge everything in your wardrobe or go on a spending spree to change your style! You can add a bit of your personality by promoting your favourite things, like a printed cotton bag for example to represent your favourite brand, or choose a piece of clothing in a style that you love, and style it with items you already have. You could choose something that you’ve never had the confidence to try before and see what suits you. Making sure that you love what you wear is essential and will make you feel more confident. 

Change your hair 

Our hair is one of the things that makes us individual and experimenting with different styles and colours is a great way to change up your look easily. If you’re planning on treating yourself and heading to the salon, you could experiment with a new colour, or cut it into a new style that you’ve always wanted to try – asking your hairdresser which styles would suit you is always a good way to choose what will look best. 

If you’re hoping for a more DIY approach to changing your hair, there are a few things you could do that don’t require a salon. You could change your parting – middle partings are popular for a 90’s throwback look or choose to style a side parting. Most people suit both, so changing it up can open a world of possibilities! You could also try a fancy plait, or up-do, a sleek bun, or a messy ponytail, choose your favourite and give it a go! 

Enhance your smile 

Your smile is what makes you, you. If you think your smile could do with a bit of TLC, there are a few different ways that you can restore your pearly whites simply and on a budget. Teeth whitening products such as strips and toothpaste are available in pharmacies and won’t cost you the earth. If you’re not feeling confident in your smile, these products will make a noticeable difference. You can boost your confidence, as well as the way you look. 

Get the glow 

During the cold winter months, it’s no surprise that our skin can become pale, dry, and lacking that natural glow that we all crave. Whilst fake tan gets a bad reputation, (and sometimes for good reason!), there are products that you can try that will give you a shimmering, summer glow. They can come in the form of body lotions and moisturisers, and because they are gradual, you won’t end up looking more noticeably tanned than you’d like! A summer glow can leave you looking and feeling revitalised. 

Add Accessories 

Small accessories can make a big difference. Layering is popular – you could choose dainty jewellery of different lengths to add to your outfit or choose big, bold earrings to make a statement. Hoops are always in fashion, they can be dressed up or down, can be worn every day and come in all different sizes. You don’t have to spend a lot on these, costume jewellery is just as effective as the real deal and is a great way to add another element to your outfit. A dash of sparkle can make any outfit look classic!
