Make your wardrobe look VERY expensive with VERY little money

Any time we’re flipping through the latest glossy fashion magazines to hit the newsstands, or scrolling through the Instagram feed of our favourite fashion icons, we generally end up feeling less than enthused.

After all, who has a spare €200 to spend on Kanye latest Addidas trainers anyway?

In short, generally-speaking the most stylish women of the moment have limitless amounts of cash to throw around on their wardrobes.

Actually, most fashion editors could maybe use a reality check when it comes to informing us about the must-have bag of the season – we only just finished paying the bill for the last one!

However, you don’t have to frustrated any longer! With just a few simple tricks you can make your wardrobe appear on par with those sitting FRO at fashion week.

 

All black everything

Not just a Kylie Jenner catchphrase. A monochrome look will elongate your body and it always looks as if you’ve intentionally spent hours putting the look together. An all-white look will also do the trick. As long as your blacks match and your whites are bright, you’re guaranteed to gain some fashion credentials.

 

Add a belt and learn to tuck

Tucking in any shirttails or baggy jumper hems will give your look instant polish. Adding a belt will cinch your waist and give you an air of serious style diva. Paring your over sized scarf with your belt will open whole new wardrobe choices for you, also handy with our always changing weather situation.

 

Gold accessories

Who doesn’t love some gold accents? According to fashion editors adding some gold accessories to your look, either in the jewellery department or with a bag, is going to make you look like you stepped straight out of Vogue.

 

Have it tailored

It even sounds fancy. Instead of ripping the tags off and throwing away your receipts right away, take a day or two before flinging yourself into those brand new culottes and head to your local seamstress. A quick nip and tuck makes your look seem much more one of a kind, so instant style elevation.

 

Grab your iron!

This one seems obvious, and also your mammy probably warned you about this for years before you took your style seriously. Nobody likes early mornings, but five extra minutes to make sure your look is freshly pressed will add instant polish to your look, even some of your oldest and more well-worn pieces.
