Tucking your shirt into your pants is surely never going out of style. But you need to add something *extra* to the ordinary to make it extraordinary, right? Tying a knot instead of tucking in your shirt is a great way to make your attire look more fun. High waisted pants, a knotted shirt and a slight hint of that waist – you’re good to go, girl!
3. Wear fishnet stockings under distressed denims

Who said fishnet stockings were only for dresses? Just look how edgy they look when worn under distressed denims! Since overly distressed denims are quite hot right now, pairing them with fishnet stockings is the perfect way to show some skin without looking scandalous. Team them up with brogues or oxfords in the same colour to make the outfit look well put together.
4. Tie a scarf around your neck!

Chokers might not be here to stay, but scarfs definitely are! Instead of wearing your scarf in the same old way, tie it around your neck and channel your inner diva! This works best with off shoulder and boatneck tops. A scarf in the same colour palette as that of your top will complement your look so well! Just look how gorgeous Aashna looks here. *Sigh*
5. Reverse your shirt and wear it

Flaunt your sexy back, girls! Have a basic white shirt and don’t know how to give it an extra dash of style? Just reverse it! Wear the front at the back and you’ll be turning heads in no time. Do the top knot and show off your back for some more compliments!
6. Try the half tuck…

For a casual affair, you don’t have to tuck in your top entirely. Try the half tuck by tucking in just a part of top and leaving the rest as it is. You can do this with just about any fancy top in your closet! Don’t we all have one? It’s going to give your look a casual feel while adding a chic vibe to it.
7. Revamp your basic white tee!

We all have that one white tee we’ve tried styling in SO many different ways! Yet, blogger Shreya Kalra shows us that wearing a bralette over a basic white t-shirt is probably the coolest way to revamp that age old white piece! Don’t you agree?
8. Tuck your kurti into your ethnic skirt

Being the desi girls we are, our love for kurtis is undying! We all have so many of them…and don’t often know how to make them look more fashionable. Well, it seems like wearing a colourful kurti with a contrast coloured ethnic skirt is the way to go. With crop tops taking a backseat now, all you need to do is tuck in your kurti and get your juttis on!
