Fashion-forward celebs like Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle stand by the formerly criticised practice of repeating clothes—and they look flawless while they’re at it. After all, it’s not just less pretentious to repeat clothes but also a more sustainable practice. What’s more, it is a whole lot of fun to put new outfits together. Here’s how you can do repeat clothes while creating new looks each time!
1. Reimagine The Piece
This is perhaps the most crucial of all. To repeat any garment, try to reimagine it before you style it again. Is there a pair of trousers you’ve only worn to work? Try to style it with a casual t-shirt, chunky sneakers and see it completely transform into a casual-chic outfit. You can even try wearing a maxi skirt as a tube dress, cinching it in with a statement belt.
2. Change Up Your Hair & Makeup
Tying your hair up in a bun, or opting for a hairstyle you don’t often go for can easily change the look of your outfit, especially if it’s a top or dress you’re repeating. It also allows you to add some statement earrings and neckwear that can add a fresh take to any repeated outfit. It’s no secret that makeup can completely change the vibe of any look. Just adding a bold lipstick as opposed to a nude one can give your outfit a different vibe.

3. Add A DIY Twist
Adding a bling brooch to a basic top or some chunky embellishments to quirk up your jeans can go a long way to giving your outfits a makeover. These are also great ways to cover up stains in super stylish ways. Got a multiway dress or skirt? It’s the best way to try something new out of a repeated outfit!
