Are you putting away your winter clothing and finding that your closet is looking a little bare? Do the colors and styles of your spring and summer wardrobe seem out dated and boring? Would you like a more youthful look?

Are you looking for a way to spend less money but follow some of the current hot trends? Have you put on a few additional pounds over the winter months and want your clothing to help you look slimmer while shedding the extra weight? Below are six tips to update your wardrobe with the latest fashion designs without spending a lot of money.

1. Color: It is important to know what colors compliment your skin tones.

Use the lighter shades of color next to your face. Use deeper shades of complimentary colors in pants or layering shirts. By using this technique, you will appear slimmer. Attention will be drawn to your face rather than your body and darker colors are more slimming.

2. Layering: Layering in different colors and styles is extremely popular this season. It is another way to look slimmer while being stylish. Longer light weight knits can be used without adding bulk. Start with the longest layered shirt first, then add shorter layers after. This elongates and is flattering to the body. The new popular layered knits are often used by women wearing maternity clothes.

3. Adding to your existing wardrobe: By simply adding a shirt or jacket in this season's new colors or styles, you can get a whole new outfit. Taking a pair of pants that you are getting tired of and cutting and hemming them to a popular length for summer can save money since you won't have to purchase another pair.

4. Replacing items in your wardrobe: There will be clothing items in your wardrobe that will need to be replaced. When replacing basic items such as pants, look for garments that are more classic. It is less expensive to add trendy shirts in popular colors than it is to replace a high quality pair of pants or jeans.

5. Clothing Accessories: Jewelry can update and add excitement to any outfit. You do not have to purchase an expensive piece of jewelry to add color or look trendy. Inexpensive, yet beautiful jewelry can be found.

Changing jewelry can give an outfit a totally different look.

6. Skirts: Adding a couple of skirts to your wardrobe is stylish, comfortable and cool. Skirts are popular this year. They make women feel feminine, pretty and are a nice change from pants and shorts. You can dress skirts up for work or dress them down for a summer picnic. This is done by adding appropriate accessories.

The above tips are applicable to teen clothing and junior clothing as well as women's clothing. The most popular styles of shirts this season are cami, cap sleeve, lace trim cap and camisole out of soft stretch material. Colors that are being worn are brown, coral, berry, cream, pink, peach, sky blue, lilac, yellow and orange. Be careful when choosing shirts of various colors. Orange for example, will match only a small number of women's skin tones. Peach, on the other hand, may be a better choice for most women. Most colors can be worn be everyone is they are in the right shades and undertones. By putting various colors up to your face and looking in the mirror, you can see if they are flattering and if they work well with your personal skin tones.
