With the ever-changing world of fashion, one cannot afford to waste their hard earned money on trendy expensive pieces that not only leave your wallets hurting, but are often times only good for the current season.
Read ahead to know how you can stay fashionably classy without spending a fortune!
1. Blacks and Whites
Nothing spells out classy more than black and white. To give your outfits a modern yet classic look, go for either colors. Whether you decide to combine both colors or throw on an all-white or all-black ensemble, these hues will definitely induce a classy vibe into your looks!
2. Monochromatic or Dichromatic
Never underestimate the power of a monochromatic outfit. By sticking to a single hue, you give your look a sophisticated appeal. However, if you feel monochrome is too, well, monotonous, you can try going for a dichromatic look to make things more interesting.
So whether you decide to stick to a single color palette or take things up a notch by choosing two, monochromatic and dichromatic will always look sharp. So have fun experimenting!
3. Tailored or Structured
With the right fit, inexpensive clothing can look like designer pieces. If your budget permits, have your clothing tailored to fit your body better. You’d be surprised at how a P500 top can instantly look more expensive once it’s been tailored according to your size.
4. The Right Shoes
Worn out shoes don’t look expensive so make sure you take care of your footwear. There’s no need to purchase a new pair everytime you wear them out. Have your favorite pairs polished or repaired on a regular basis. Maintenance is key and wear and tear can instantly ruin your look!
5. Keep It Simple
When shopping for accessories, go for simple yet classic jewelry. Often times, these understated pieces are the most elegant. Ditch flashy and tacky accessories that can cheapen your whole look. Instead, go for timeless and subtle pieces that are both modest and stylish.
