A while back, I wrote about how easy I found getting into a style rut was and I let you in on a few tips and tricks of my own on how to beat those fashion blues. This time around, we're talking about another sneaky style rut that many of us fall into and sometimes, we don't even realize it. 

It's called: "the uniform". Everyday, without realizing it, you put on the exact same thing. One of the most common uniforms is the basic jean and t-shirt. Sound familiar? 

Don't panic just yet though, we've all been there and there is a way to get out. Now, as long as your denim and tee of choice are a good fit, modern washes and cut well, there really isn't anything too wrong with wearing them. Except that it's about as exciting as watching paint dry. To get you out of that daily dullness, here are 4 ways you can spice up your basic jean and t-shirt. And to show you just how fabulous it can look, we've put together four examples to provide a little stylespiration. 

1. Add some brights: A pop of colour, even in the smallest capacity is going to do wonders for your outfit. It can act as a focal point on a neutral canvas. This means that your piece is going to really stand out and speak for itself. At the same time, your entire outfit is going to be more detailed and interesting. You don't need to go with a solid colour either.  Try prints, patterns or colour blocked accessories.
