We're kicking off a fresh start to the year with a brand-new look. That doesn't mean we're shopping; instead, we're pulling from the clothes we already have and revamping our look [1] with a few strategic styling hacks [2]. Maybe it's something as simple as changing up the way you drape a jacket, layering a dress, or the shoes you style with a certain outfit. Maybe it's embracing a totally new trend. In any case, these small switch-ups can have a huge impact on how you look and feel in the new year.

Feeling inspired? Join us and our annual styling hacks challenge, kicking off Jan. 1. Just check out the full month of prompts here and join us on social media to share your latest looks with the hashtag #PSStylingHacks. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Add a Scarf to Your Outfit

Perking up your outfit is as easy as adding a scarf or bandanna to your look. Tie it around your neck, loop it around the strap of your bag, or wear as a belt — however you like it, work it.

Style Your Jacket Off the Shoulders

Layer up the fashion girl way with a jacket styled nonchalantly off the shoulders. Just the simple drape can make anything you wear — even a puffer! — feel infinitely more stylish.

Borrow From the Boys

Take a blazer, button-down, trousers, brogues, or any other traditional "menswear staple" and give it your own twist.

Embrace Brights (Big Time!)

Swap out your neutrals for some high-impact colour. If you're really feeling it, go for it on a dress or head-to-toe look. Otherwise, start small with a flash of colour on a bag or shoes.

Wear Denim — but Not Your Jeans

Give your jeans the day off, but embrace denim in all of 2018's cool silhouettes, like a tailored jacket or skirt.

Enlist a Friend to Double Up on Style

Take style cues from a friend today and coordinate your outfits for double the impact.

Revamp a Vintage Tee

Slip on a vintage tee or sweatshirt and give it new life with a pencil skirt, cool trousers, and your favourite pair of heels (or flats!).

Go Head to Toe in One Colour

Embrace the monochromatic colour effect and make a statement with an outfit in varying shades of the same colour.

Do the Half-Tuck

This one's easy — just tuck your shirt in the front or the side, but leave the rest undone to channel fashion girl vibes.

Dress Up Your Jeans

We fall into denim styling ruts easily — break it by dressing up your jeans and swapping out trainers and t-shirts for your favourite blouses and special footwear.

Mix Your Prints

Florals and leopard print? Absolutely! Take your favourite prints and mix and match them to create an outfit that pops.

Add Some Serious Statement Earrings

Dress up your outfit the easiest way we know how — with a pair of gorgeous earrings!

Let Your Socks Steal the Show

Don't underestimate how cool a pair of socks can look peeking out from your trainers, brogues, and even heels. Let them be the star of your look today.

Give the "Lingerie by Day" Thing a Try

Slip dresses and boudoir-inspired pieces are easier to pull off than you think. Layer them up with cosy staples and pair them with flat, more modest footwear to take them into daytime.

Embrace Daytime Shine

Even if it's just on your shoes, embrace some metallics or glitter. Sequined tops look great with boyfriend jeans and sequined skirts are perfect for dressing down with a sweatshirt.

Rework Your Button-Down Shirt

Button-downs have long been staples in our closet. Take yours and rework it. Layer it up with a vest or a crop top, let a longer hemline peek out from a sweater, or belt it to take it to a totally different place.

Style a Dress Over Trousers

This one's become a fashion crowd favourite — just add a dress right over jeans or trousers — et voilà! Your dress has a whole new life.

Dare to Wear Winter White . . . Shoes

White booties and mules have been all over our favourite street style stars, now it's your turn. Embrace the Winter white shoe trend to create a totally on-trend outfit.

Hang On to Your Summer Bag

Basket bags and grocery totes are fair game during Winter, too. Just add yours to your usual look and see how versatile these sweet bags really are.

Give Track Pants the Chic Treatment

Take your track pants out of the gym and into, well, wherever the day takes you. Add a cosy jumper and flats for brunch or style them with heels and a jacket for a night out.

Make It All About Your Boots

Love your sock boots? Have a thing for your over-the-knee pair? Make it all about them and the rest of your outfit will come easy.

Warm Up a Summer Look For Winter

No need to retire a Summer dress you love, just warm it up with a turtleneck underneath or a jumper throw over top. Then, finish with booties or tights to complete the Winterised makeover.

Embrace Flower Power

Pull your floral dresses, tops, and skirts out of your closet give them some air time. Try adding trainers or sock boots to juxtapose a feminine frock you may have forgotten about.

Say Yes to Flats

Swap your heels for a day and consider adding flats to even your most sophisticated looks. Yes, flats happen to look fantastic with sheath dresses and suits, too.

Slip Into a Jumpsuit

Make dressing easy when you opt for just one piece. Slip into the jumpsuit of your choice and call it a day.

Play the Layering Game

Robes, button-downs, long cardigans, you name it — it's all fair game! Style up a basic outfit with one of these pieces layered up over top and suddenly jeans and a t-shirt don't feel quite so basic anymore.

Channel the '80s

Exaggerated shoulders, kitten heels, glove pumps, miniskirts, and PVC are all having a moment, giving us major '80s vibes. Incorporate the '80s element of your choice and give it a contemporary spin.

Give Dad Trainers a Go

Models and street style stars are having a love affair with the chunky-soled running trainers we swear our dads were wearing in the '90s. Somehow they look infinitely cooler than we remember, styled now with sleek suits and girlie dresses — take 'em for a spin and you'll see what we mean.

Style Stripes Your Way

Stripes are always a staple. Pull yours out and style them any way you please.

Wear Your Jacket as a Top

A jacket goes from outerwear to top just by buttoning it up all the way. Make a denim jacket your new favourite top just like so.

Ditch Your Denim For the Day

We live in our denim — today, give it a rest. Shake up your style routine by slipping on that dress or skirt, even trousers you never wear and saying a temporary farewell to your jeans.
