You can look expensive without having your closet full of names such as Gucci, Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent. While these brands do make great classic investment pieces, there are other ways to look high-end without spending the high-end price tag. You can keep all that money in your wallet and fool everyone into thinking you paid a lot on your outfit by using these super simple tips!
1. Long coats
Long coats instead of short puffy coats make your outfit look more elegant! We’re looking for something almost floor sweeping here but for sure past the knee. The longer the better, as it gives off more luxurious vibes!
2. Structured bag
Every chic outfit seems to have a classic, structured bag. When aiming to look expensive, stay away from slouchy bags and backpacks. Instead, focus on black handbags with minimal hardware. Too much hardware can make your bag, and thus your whole outfit looks cheap!
3. Tasteful jewelry
You can’t forget accessories when dressing high end. Avoid plastic jewels and costume jewelry, and instead, focus on classic pieces such as watches and minimal jewelry. Especially if the jewelry is gold because of gold instantly equals expensive and luxe!
4. Throw on some sunglasses
I don’t know if this is something that the celebrities started, but throwing on a pair of sunglasses somehow makes you look important and it makes your whole outfit look better! Big and black would be ideal!
5. Tailored pieces
When everything is polished and fits well, you look like someone that knows what they’re doing and where they’re going. Even if you don’t have a corporate wardrobe with pantsuits, a button-down or a blazer is a good place to start because those can be worn anywhere and in many different ways!
6. Don’t forget the beauty
Don’t forget that your skin is a canvas and every little detail matters to the outcome of your look. It’s hard to make an outfit look good when your nails are chipped and cracked and your hair has seen better days. Not saying you need to always step out with a full face of makeup, but attention to the details show that you care. A bold red lip never hurt either!
