English Idiom: Things are looking up

Let’s be positive today!

This idiom for today means conditions are getting better or improving.

It is a great expression when you feel confident and things in your life are going well.

You can use it to say things such as ‘I just got a raise, things are looking up!’ or ‘Today that beautiful girl / handsome guy in the office smiled at me! Things are looking up!’


Things are looking up means conditions are getting better.


The best time to use it is when you are tired of working and get a month off to take your dream vacation.

If you get to leave the office behind and can look forward to sand, surfing and sun for a few weeks, things must be looking up!
