Elegance, class and even the latest trends are typically associated with steep prices, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. You can look good and expensive without breaking the bank. Here are a few ways on how to get started.
Make Fast Fashion Brands your best friend
You don’t have to purchase items from luxury brands like Gucci or Louis Vuitton to look expensive. It is well known that fast fashion brands make very similar items as luxury brands at significantly subsided prices.
Simplicity
Like Coco Chanel said simplicity is the keynote to true elegance. Invest in neutral or natural colours that are drawn from the earth. Wearing monochrome and pastels could also go a long way. It would be like channeling your inner Jackie O or Princess Diana.
Grooming is important
it is important to invest in basics like hair and makeup. These are the foundation of your entire look. Tip: Your hair swept off your face, a cat-eye, and the right shade of red lipstick would always make you look classy.
Confidence
How you carry yourself is very important. A bit of confidence, alongside poise and elegance, goes a very long way.
Quality
When shopping from fast fashion brands, make sure you check the quality of the clothes. The material has to look rich, and every detail from the stitching to the embellishments must be impeccable.
Statement pieces
Invest in good statement pieces like sunglasses, good shoes, a hat or a bag with very intricate details. Also, make sure they are of good quality so you can get some good wear out of them.
Fitting
Make sure your clothes are appropriately fitted. When clothes fit a person the right way, they accentuate the body and make you look more elegant.
Don’t go broke trying to look rich. You could always repurpose old clothes or style them differently in more elegant ways. Another great tip is to look through your grandmother or mother’s wardrobe. You may find some vintage pieces that would boost your style.
