6 Ways to Upgrade Your Look for Spring

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Drexel chapter.

It has been a long, dreary and cold winter here in Philadelphia. We stick to the same daily routine just to combat the weather that sometimes, we forget to be fashionable! With these six suggestions, you’ll reinvent your look entirely for the new season!

 

1. Change Your Hair Color

One of the most dramatic ways to upgrade your look is to dye your hair. It doesn’t have to be colors as striking and bold as lavender or gray; you can do something subtle such as highlights or lowlights. Either way, changing your hair color is bound to transform you more than you’ll ever know.

 

2. Upgrade (& Update) Your Closet 

Let’s get ride of the chunky knits and riding boots and opt for some new things. You’ve spent months covered up and now it’s time to strip down a little. There are many spring fashion trends out there. With Fashion Weeks from around the world being so easily accessible, you can certainly search for inspiration from the runway itself. What sort of look do you want to aim for?  There are plenty of options.

 

3. Change Perfumes 

In the winter, we may tend to wear scents that are heavier and muskier. No one wants to wear that sort of perfume in warmer weather. You should consider switching up your signature scent for something light and fresh (And we’re not talking about the cliché floral scents)!

 

4. Wear More Heels 

After months of wearing boots every single day, you’ll want to let your feet breathe. Instead of sneakers and sandals, you should opt for some cool heels. Even if they are worn with jeans and a white tee, they transform your entire ensemble. You’ll appear as if you’re making an effort even on the days when you don’t really want to.

 

5.  Put More Effort Into Your Makeup 

 

You might have an everyday makeup look that you live by. You don’t have to necessarily change it; maybe just give it a little more life. Put on a bold lip one day or contour your face the next. You’ll feel renewed and fresh from this simple change in routine. We guarantee people will notice!

 

6. Be Bolder with Fashion

 

Wear that bright red leather jacket or those leopard print heels. With your wardrobe you have the freedom to mix prints and patterns all you want. Take advantage of the spring season by stepping out of your comfort zone with fashion. It’s your style to have fun with! Take chances this season.

 

 

When a new season approaches, we should take the liberty to change up our looks. It can help rejuvenate us as women. If you use these suggestions, we promise that you’ll be ready to take spring on!
