12 Tips & Tricks To make clothes look luxurious

1. Sometimes inexpensive clothes lack the weight that a better fabric can provide, or simply lack a lining. You can’t change the fabric itself, but adding an underpinning to create a lining is an easy fix.

2. Mix inexpensive items with pricier ones, so the overall effect is balanced. The expensive ones will elevate the whole look.

3. Keep your color spectrum narrow. If you wear every color in the rainbow, nothing will look chic, it’ll just look like a mess.

4. When buying something inexpensive, make sure it looks rich. Are seams finished? Does hardware feel heavy? Are colors deep and saturated? Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it has to look it.

5. It’s hard to do heavy embellishment in an inexpensive way, so watch out. This may not be the item you want to scrimp on.

6. If you find something inexpensive and you’re not sure it looks right, chances are it’ll look best in black.

7. Those iconic styles “think big logos” are not the things to buy cheap.

8. It’s hard to make certain synthetics look great, the edges don’t finish well, the seams look too thick. It’s easier to fake a rich look in cotton, linen and silk.

9. Too tight, too big, too short. The too’s will always cheapen your look.

10. T-shirts, white button-downs, khakis, jeans are all things that are not worth spending on.

11. Buy inexpensive faux skin accessories, you get the look for a fraction of the cost. Small touches are best (belt, clutch), and natural colors are best.

12. As long as it’s a color combination that flatters your skin tone and in a cut that works on your body, it’s anyone’s guess as to how much you actually spent.
