1 Garment, 5 ways

For every woman from the on-the-move mommy to the trendy fashionista, Hipknoties is one garment that can be transformed into just about anything using elastic bands. No matter how you dress it up — or down — it’s an effortless way to make the most out of just one piece of clothing. Talk about a bang for your buck!

Temps are winding down and with Hipknoties, which are made out of 95 percent rayon, you can create a warm cover-up that is stylish at the same time. Pair it with J. Crew’s signature stretch jersey leggings ($40), leather riding boots from Aldo ($170) and an infinity scarf from H&M ($10). If you’re feeling extra chilly, top it off with a cashmere beret from Nordstrom, $58.

Take Hipknoties from winter to summer with this draped halter top and maxi skirt combo. Slip on your favorite pair of jeweled sandals like these ones from Michael Kors, $125. For some summer fun, have an arm party of your favorite bracelets. This set of beaded bracelets from Buckle adds the perfect touch and can be worn with almost everything — plus it’s only $12. Don’t forget the perfect pair of Ralph Lauren cat-eye sunnies ($180) to fight off the rays!

Going out for lunch with the girls or running a few errands? Using one long Hipknoties and a couple of bands, you can wear a maxi dress that’s both comfy and stylish at the same time. Tribal wedges, like these from Charlotte Russe ($36), add flair and are easy to walk in. Grab this Olivia + Joy tote that’s large enough to hold everything you need for the day ($73) and add Francesca’s Time Will Tell watch, ($30) and you’ll be the chic girl on the go!

Transform Hipknoties into a fabulous pleat detail dress fit for your upcoming office party. Bring on the bling with rhinestone earrings or sparkling drop earrings and a rhinestone bracelet, all from Forever 21. Put some sparkle in your step with these Steve Madden DEEVAA pumps ($150). Complete the look with a satin clutch from Ann Taylor ($115), and you’ll be dazzling all night long!

Another way to take that Hipknoties to the next level is by wearing it as a fabulous one-sleeve dress. Be bold with a crystal statement necklace, like this one from Dillard's ($58). Wrap the whole look up with a bow with these metallic platform sandals from Bakers ($90).
