6 Tips on How to Look Rich on a Budget

Looking great have nothing to do with the amount you spend. I mean you don't really have to spend on expensive things to actually look expensive or rich. I honestly believe working with the pieces which are already in your wardrobe and investing in a few versatile pieces. It's pretty much everything you need to look effortless and expensive plus a few tips from me.

Here are a few tips to look rich on a budget:

#1 Invest in your basics: Basics are the foundation around which you build your wardrobe. A nice button-down shirt, a pair of black jeans, tailored trousers, a black blazer etc. These pieces are classic and honestly, they never go out of fashion. For instance, you can style a white button-down shirt with a skirt or even denim for a casual look or maybe your tailored trousers for a semi-formal look, you can also throw a blazer and you are all set to go.

#2 Choose solid colours over prints: It's always better to invest in solids over patterns as with patterns and prints the risk of going wrong is much higher than styling the solids. I know having too many neutrals in your wardrobe could make it look a little boring but trust me it adds to your advantage. It's always easier to style the neutrals and if you mix and match you can actually create a lot of outfits with fewer pieces.

#3 Invest in good quality pieces: Do not forget to check the quality of the fabric. If you go with the cheaper quality fabric it will bring down the entire look. Always invest in something that lasts longer than a few months.

#4 Layering always helps: Layering your outfit with a blazer or a jacket will only elevate the look. Something like a basic casual look if worn with a denim jacket will make the look a lot more fashionable and you can add a blazer to a nice flowy dress to add some structure to the look.

#5 Simple and classic jewellery: Go for something simple like studs, slender bracelets and cuffs and even better a great watch. This will make everything you wear more polished and expensive.

#6 Don't compromise on accessories: If you look at the celebrities and their airport look, even something as basic as a pajama co-ord looks so elegant. You know why? It's because of the accessories they add on. Invest in a nice bag, classic sunglasses etc, they only help you elevate the outfit. There is one accessory that people don't pay attention to which is a nice classic leather belt. Tuck your top and add a belt for a clean polished look.
