5 ways to look luxe on a budget

You don’t have to spend a fortune on your wardrobe to look expensive. It is all about clever shopping. So, give your wallet a well-deserved breather with these useful tips on how to look chic and on trend without breaking the bank.

1. ACCESSORISE
It’s easy to elevate your look with accessories. Whether it’s a structured bag, classic jewellery, or a great hat (hello, summer sun) – accessories can bring elegance to any outfit. It doesn’t have to be limited to one style. Go for a bag with a flat surface that holds shape well, simple jewellery (especially costume jewellery) like a gold or silver necklace or a classic black belt. Remember not to over-accessorise, as it can cheapen your look.

2. FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT
Avoid baggy clothes or those that are too tight. While baggy clothing can be comfortable to wear, items that fit perfectly can instantly make your outfit look chic and expensive. Find items that fit your body shape and size, and tailor your pants to the correct length.

3. ADD A STRUCTURED BLAZER
A structured blazer can instantly give you a more sophisticated look. Pairing a blazer with a simple white T-shirt, denims and a court shoe or white sneakers will put a chic spin on your basic outfit. Garments with classic lines refine any ensemble.

4. MONOCHROMATIC ATTIRE
One of the easiest ways to look luxe is to dress in only one colour. Whether you have opted for bold colours or stayed within a more neutral palette, monochrome outfits are flattering, and they look expensive.

5. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SHOES
You don’t need 100 pairs of shoes to look fashionable. You only need a few staple pairs – if you look after them. If you are wearing dirty or worn-out footwear, it can instantly cheapen your look. Take care of your shoes to make them last longer and keep them looking fresh. Invest in products to clean, polish, and hydrate the materials of your shoes so that you can wear those favourites for years to come without a mark on them.
