Fashion is always changing but staying on-trend can be a daunting prospect. From haute couture runway looks to everyday wear, it can be overwhelming to navigate the ever-evolving fashion landscape. Luckily, you can take inspiration from the catwalk and apply it to your everyday wardrobe. Read on to learn more about how to stay stylish while adapting high fashion trends to your wardrobe.
1. Who Says Runway Has to Stay There?
Many people think that runway has to stay on the runway forever, but that doesn’t have to be the case. In fashion, you can take runway pieces off the runway, and make them look just as stunning wherever you choose to wear them. With a few minor tweaks, materials, and colors, you can make runway pieces look modern and chic in any setting.
A great example of this is when pairing a bold statement piece with something more casual. Take a simple pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt, then add a striking, experimental design from a runway show to pull the entire outfit together. Suddenly,you have a fashion look that is both chic and trendy. Another great way to incorporate runway looks into your everyday wardrobe is to focus on details. Choose one or two colors from a runway piece that stand out the most, and use those accent colors when picking shoes, jewelry, or scarves that you can add in order to complete the look.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where you find pieces, as long as you style them together in the right way. With a bit of creativity, it’s possible to take pieces off the runway and make them work in your own wardrobe. Here are some tips for bringing the runway to you:
- Pick a bold piece and pair it with something casual
- Focus on colors and use those accent colors to find accessories to finish the look
- Experiment with different styles and materials
- Mix and match runway pieces with things you already have in your closet
Runway looks are beautiful and inspiring, but not always practical. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take a little piece of the runway and make it a part of your personal style. With a bit of creativity, runway pieces can be transformed into stunning looks that work for any occasion.
2. Dare To Be Daring: Experiment with Your Look!
Your style is a reflection of your personality—so, why not step out of your comfort zone and add a hint of daring to the mix? We are creatures of habit, and so, using the same products and same approach to styling can often make us feel stagnant with our look. Allow yourself to take a few risks and just see what happens.
Change Your Color Scheme
If you have light or dark or hair or both, try experimenting with hues of colors. Your hair is your crown, and you can vividly express your individual style and flair with different colors. Simply add highlights, switch up color balayage, create an ombre style or go for a full-on makeover. Changing your color scheme can transform not only your look but also how you feel.
Try Different Styles
Changing your style is a great way to express yourself in a different way. Incorporate interesting accessories, unique jewelry, pair different clothing pieces or go for a groovy 60s-vibe. Have fun with it—pair your denim shorts with a trendy blazer, layer up your collared shirts and wear your dresses differently. Get creative!
Discover Different Hairstyles
Take the time to try out different hairstyles—it could be a low bun, half-up do’s, short hair, long hair, or anything else you might find interesting. And don’t forget to utilize hair products too. Experiment with a few products specific to your hair type (e.g. volumizers, texture, etc.), but don’t forget to have fun with it too!

- Accessories: Elevate your everyday wardrobe by adding the right jewelry, bags, and shoes. Is it a casual jeans and t-shirt day? Opt for a shoulder bag with a long chain and chic sandals. Or is it more of a business casual style? Matching pumps and a structured clutch will finish the look.
By experimenting with your look, you’ll learn more about yourself, build your confidence and find the strength to identify the looks that make you feel most alive. Dare to be daring, and take as much time as you need to explore yourself through different looks—your beauty looks best when it is an authentic representation of yourself.
3. From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk: Make Fashion Trends Accessible
Fashion trends can be a quick way to bring life and style to an outfit; however, they can be hard to find in stores and difficult to make accessible. Nonetheless, there are ways to make sure a trend looks more wearable in everyday life.
Make it Comfortable: One key characteristic of wearable fashion trends is comfort. Sporting the trendiest pieces can be fun, but without the proper comfort factor, it can be a miserable experience. Look for materials and fits that are of the utmost comfort.
Mix it Up: To ensure the trend pieces look more wearable in real life, try finding ways to mix them with traditional wardrobe staples. For instance, if the trend involves a t-shirt with an animal print, pair it with some blue jeans or khakis. This will make the trend more compatible with the everyday settings.
Be Mindful of Evening Wear: Evening fashion trends often involve sequins and other sparkly materials that take inspiration from the runway and other elements, which can be harder to make wearable. Keep in mind the rules of evening-appropriate outfits and you can make some sparkly pieces appropriate for the everyday.
Accessorize: Once you have found pieces that embody a trend and are slightly more wearable, beatify the look with accessories. Finish the look with some stylish shoes, bags, jewelry, or any other accessory that can add a little something extra to the attire.
Using these basic steps, you should be able to adopt current trends while still keeping the look somewhat casual and suitable for everyday life. Just remember to be creative and have fun with it.
