VIctoria Secret

Dress from Victoria's Secret

     The secret to possessing a seemingly endless wardrobe of fabulous clothes does not require frequent trips to the mall. True fashion chameleons know how to recycle their favorite pieces in multiple ways. Their greatest weapon is the newest trend: convertible clothing.
      In this economy, the downsized wallet of the wise college fashionista does not depreciate her style. Convertible clothing is specifically designed to have multiple different looks. For example, the new Daytime Convertible Dress by Victoria’s Secret can be worn in six sexy styles: a one-shoulder, a halter, a sweetheart and more.
      Turn up the heat with a reversible halter-style swimsuit from Express’s latest spring collection. This bikini offers the wearer a choice of two prints, for double the sun at half the price. Express’s accessories department features a wide collection of reversible belts, including a super versatile four-in-one leather cincher.
      New York & Company’s Convertible Tunic fluidly translates to every woman’s personal style. Drawstrings on the shoulders and sides create a chic ruching effect while also converting the tunic into a mini-dress or a draped top.
      Rachel Roy’s “Transfourmer” coat can zip and unzip to form a hip blazer vest and a sleeveless coat. This high-drama jacket can adapt to crazy weather patterns or even more volatile fashion trends.
      Convertible clothing is a great way to stretch dollars, but it is not the only way to get innovative with an outfit. There is plenty of potential in every well-put-together wardrobe to get the most out of basic pieces. Layering and belting is a great way to morph styles and silhouettes. A long necklace can be worn as a belt, or a longer skirt can be raised to become a cute mini-dress. Creativity is the true key to convertibility and ever-changing ensembles.
