A lot of people would love to look good and stylish with their outfits but are bothered that they cannot afford to buy expensive clothes and shoes to look the part. Yet, there are things you can do to look more expensive on a budget. You don’t have to rob a bank to look expensive.
You can have a few clothes, bags, shoes and accessories and look like a million-dollar chic, and stand out at work, and events. So if you are wondering how to look expensive on a budget, below are ten tips and hacks that will you find helpful.
1. Wear black
Black is a neutral colour so it goes with everything and since it is a solid colour it is easily coordinated with other colours and patterns.
2. Make sure your clothes fit well
Making sure your clothes fit well is probably one of the most important steps; ill-fitted clothes will make you look sloppy and you don’t want that.
3. LBD (Little Black Dress)
The little black dress is not going anywhere anytime soon. It is an essential piece to have in your closet. You can almost never go wrong with an LBD and you cannot have too many either.
4. Get some high heels
High heeled shoes with pointy toes just look more expensive and they can easily be dressed up or down. Invest in a few high heeled shoes and you are covered for the year.
5. Blazers
A well-fitted blazer will make your outfit look much more polished, and you can wear it with everything; dresses, skirts, and even jeans.

6. Sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses brings an aura of mystery to your look. It can also elevate it, making your outfit look more expensive, and not to forget it protects your eyes from sun and dust.
7. Invest in quality bags
Quality handbags are always worth the investment. No matter what size, quality bags always look expensive and chic. If you are on a budget, opt-in for a neutral coloured bag. Colours like black, white and brown can go with everything and can be used all year round.
8. Invest in good makeup
Do your makeup the best way you can and make sure it is properly done. Patchy or too dark foundation or badly blended eye-shadow just screams cheap. So practice and master your everyday makeup look.
9. Smell amazing
When you smell amazing your outfit feels more luxurious. Find a scent that you love, when applying perfume go for your major pulse points like neck and wrists, this will make the scent last all day. Never spray perfume on your clothes though as the perfume could stain them.
10. Match your shoes to your bag
Coordinating your shoes to your bag will make you look like you spent loads of time and money on your outfit. Wearing the same bag and shoe brings uniformity to your look.
