How To Look Expensive On A Budget

Looking expensive entails what you wear and how you dress. Also, it goes beyond just clothing and accessories; it includes etiquette and mannerisms. Beautiful women in the house, this article is speaking to you.

Sometimes, we look at our other female colleagues and see how they look expensive without breaking the bank, and we wonder how it’s possible. Worry not!! After reading this piece, I am convinced you will look stunning and expensive on your next outing.

1. Dress According To Your Body Type

Dressing according to your body type can either make you look bougie and expensive or cheap. This entails understanding your body architecture and noting that some clothes amplify your beauty or make you look worse.

Wearing too tight or baggy most of the time often presents a tacky look. My advice is to be best friends with your stylist or tailor so they can help you during emergencies. Adjusting to that baggy dress or those trousers will make a lot of difference in your appearance. Your stylist can also advise you on cuts, lengths and other qualities that suit you.

2. Invest in Classic and Staple Pieces

Classic pieces such as a trench coat, jean skirts or trousers, black trousers, a black or grey blazer, a black shirt, a white tee shirt, a black dress, and a black skirt are timeless pieces that every woman should have. Avoid investing too much in trendy clothes, as they tend to go out of season as quickly as they arrive.

When combined or worn alone, the above-listed pieces will give you a chic and expensive look, especially when worn correctly. You might complain that these pieces may be too expensive to afford simultaneously, and I agree. Therefore, I recommend buying them in bits or once a time.

3. Source for High-Quality Fabrics

When sourcing fabrics, you can rest assured that picking high-quality fabrics saves you money and gives you an elegant look. Natural fabrics such as wool, cotton, cashmere, linen, hemp, suede, silk and tweed are good fabrics to invest in.

One peculiar thing about the above-mentioned fabrics is that they are thick and durable, although most are expensive. There are cheaper fabrics that are of good quality. Common ones include viscose, elastane and rayon. When purchasing these synthetic fabrics, pick the ones blended with wool, cotton or silk for a firmer texture.

4. Wear Neutral Colours

Neutral colours radiate elegance and warmth and look richer than other colours. Have you ever wondered why the Royal Family looks elegant and classy? Well, they mostly wear neutral clothes. Common examples of neutral colours include white, black, grey, tan, brown, ivory, olive green and beige.

To slay effortlessly, wear colours that match your skin and hair colour.

5. Wear Appropriate and Minimal Accessories

Your accessories either make a bold and classy statement or not. Accessories complement your dressing, but keeping it minimal gives an expensive look. Do not use a lot of accessories with an outfit, or else you end up looking too loud, tacky, bland or cheap. Also, accessorize according to your outfit.

Regarding accessorizing, go for accessories that complement your outfits rather than overpowering them.

My final thought is that how you carry yourself is essential in looking expensive regardless of the type of outfit or the amount spent. Therefore, carry yourself with pride!
