Hello, we will be looking at how to look expensive when on a budget. I'm a firm believer that you don't have to go for the most expensive item to put together to get an outfit that's expensive looking.  Let's get started:

STICK TO TIMELESS DESIGNS.

Not going to lie, timeless designs can be boring sometimes, but, I promise you that one timeless item you have in your closet you are going to be reaching for it time after time in spring, summer, fall and winter. Basically, you can never ever go wrong with a white t-shirt.

DON'T GO FOR CRAZY COLORS.

For a classy and expensive look, you should only stick to neutral colors, that is, blacks, whites, grey, beige, and taupe. 

Tip: The easy way to pair your basics it to match it with the same color. But, if you don't want to have the same color at the top and the bottom, just make sure you pair with a neutral color.

LAYER ON SOME JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES.

This doesn't have to be particularly any color, I'm picking gold and silver because they go with anything. When wanting to dress up your basics a little bit, gold and silver accessories are the way to go.

Note: Don't forget a bag too.

GO FOR TWO-PIECE SETS.

This is because it's already styled for you. You do not need to put any more additional effort pairing your top and your bottom, what color you are going for, what texture you want and all that. That work is already done for you.

MATCH ACCESSORIES COLORS.

If you have a silver belt loop, go for silver necklace, silver earrings, silver bracelet and also for your bag make sure you go for a silver accessory bag(silver and gold chains that are attached to your sling bag or bags that have silver buttons/zips).

DON'T MIX/CLASH PRINTS AND PATTERNS.

If you are wearing like a striped top on top don't go with a plaid bottom. If you are wearing a polka dot top don't go for a floral bottom. The best bet is to stick to solid colors.

STEAM/IRON YOUR CLOTHES.

It makes a huge difference trust me. I've seen people with expensive skirts and dresses, not ironed or steamed and there's wrinkles all over it and I'm just like, "Just take five minutes to iron or steam your outfit for the day". It instantly elevates your outfit whatever it's price might be.

INVEST IN SUNGLASSES.

If you want your outfit to look really high end just have sunglasses. The mystery of them when hiding your eyes really gives it the expensive look. Don't go for the small ones, go for those that have big lenses, because, it hides most of your face. The more surface area hidden, the better.
