Want Your Outfits To Look Expensive? Follow These 5 Tips!

When it comes to our wardrobes, I’m sure we’d all love a little extra zing to our looks. However, it doesn’t take a pile of money to look expensive when you know the secrets to look expensive without breaking the bank!

1. Perfect Fits

It doesn’t matter if you have a cashmere suit with silk lining and gold buttons. If the fit is off, it just won’t look good. Conversely, a well-tailored suit will give the impression that the garment was made expressly for you, and looking bespoke is rarely seen as cheap.
Going custom is not always needed, alterations are not all expensive, especially if you’re able to save money on the original garment. And even basic alterations will massively improve the look of your garments, making them appear more expensive as a result.

2. Care For Your Clothes

Whether your clothes actually cost a lot of money or you just want them to look like they did, all of your garments should be regularly cleaned, neatly pressed, and attentively cared for. Not only will this extend the life of your clothing, it makes the clothes themselves actually look much better as well as making them look more expensive and put together.
Naturally, you don’t want your clothes to look more put together than you do. So, don’t neglect your own appearance.

3. Ditch The Labels

Brand names might be a big part of looking expensive in contemporary styling, but did you know that draping yourself on labels can actually have the opposite effect?
Essentially, trying to prove that your outfit is expensive by making the branding extremely obvious usually backfires. Over-reliance on labels can make it very obvious to the casual viewer that you’re trying to look expensive with the implication that the outfit isn’t actually that expensive. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with wearing tasteful designer goods, they work best in moderation.

4. Curate Combinations
Contrary to what you might assume, you don’t need a massive walk-in closet to have a wardrobe that looks expensive. But, you should endeavor to have a sizable selection of staples. This will allow you to rotate your selection and employ different articles into different combinations, so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing the same thing over and over again.
By emphasizing and investing in quality staples, you can make a relatively modest well-curated wardrobe look like the sartorial selection of the most luxurious clotheshorse.

5. Wear White Shirts

The crisp, elegant look of a fine white shirt is the perfect pop to elevate any look. Why? White matches any color and creates dazzling contrast that makes other colors appear more vibrant and lustrous. And therefore, more expensive.
Culturally, white is also a color associated with wealth because pure white is expensive to dye and more expensive to keep clean.
So, between its effect and other colors and its social associations, a beautiful white shirt can make any outfit look more expensive – whether it’s a more casual sweater outfit or a more formal suit ensemble. There’s a reason that white shirts are the go-to for the most formal, most expensive Black and White Tie dress codes.

Of course, at the end of the day, only you know how much money you actually have in your bank account. The confidence you use when interacting with others will be the defining line of your look. But the suggestions given might help you feel and exude that confidence.
