HOW TO LOOK EXPENSIVE THIS SUMMER
1- BASICS
Basics are the first thing you need to pay attention to when it comes to looking expensive! If you only have patterns and very statement pieces in your wardrobe, you will not be able to achieve an expensive-looking outfit.
Basics are essentials and probably the most versatile pieces you can have in your closet.
We always recommend opting for high-quality ones because it truly makes a difference. Always keep in mind the fabrics, colors, and transparency.
Zara has some fantastic options that are pretty affordable and very diverse in colors and styles. Definitely check them out.
2- MONOCHROMATIC LOOKS
Monochromatic outfits always look expensive. The simpleness and the minimalistic vibe that this style conveys always look elevated, giving for sure a very high-end resemblance. The proof is this stunning outfit from Marianna’s IG.
When you want to look expensive and put together, definitely opt for a monochromatic look.
You might be thinking, but how do I achieve this look?
It is actually really simple. Just by paring some basic pieces, for example, a simple black crop top with some black culottes, you will instantly get a super elevated outfit with minimum effort. Monochromatic looks never fail. We totally recommend it!
BONUS TIP- When paring a monochromatic look, opt for neutral tones. Black, white and beige are the best ones for a bulletproof outfit.
3- SATIN
Playing with fabrics and textures is also a great way to make an outfit look very expensive, especially in the summer months. Satin is, for sure, the safest and most high-end way to elevate an outfit.
Usually, people opt to wear satin pieces only on special occasions or at night. However, we truly believe that you should wear satin without any rules. It looks stunning on every occasion, as you can see in this gorgeous Hanna’s IG post.
Besides, it is always a show-stopper! Whether you opt for a satin top, dress, or culottes/jogger, paired with some basics, you always look stunning with minimum effort! So simple yet so expensive looking.
4- ANIMAL PRINT
Chosing a pattern that looks elevated can be tricky. That is why we only opt for animal prints. They always look elevated and are very easy to pair with other basics since they 99% of the time look stunning with black or white.
Whether you opt to feature animal print on a detailed piece like a handbag or you want to go all out and opt for an oversized blazer like the one in Shea’s IG, chances are you will look super expensive and stylish.
If you are a beginner, definitely tone down and only accessorize with animal print. It will make it a lot easier for you.
BONUS TIP- Don’t overdo patterns. Whether it is with animal print or any pattern, you should never exaggerate it. It will look very busy, hectic, and tacky.
5- ASYMMETRICAL TOPS
We had to mention asymmetrical tops! Nothing screams more stylish and expensive than an asymmetrical top! The proof is Xenia’s IG post.
This is a super-easy way to use a top as a statement piece on your outfit! You don’t even need to put any effort into your outfit, the top does all the work for you.
Zara, as always, has super lovely options that are definitely budget-friendly so you don’t have an excuse to not look stylish after this post.
6- ACCESSORIES
The best way to instantly make an outfit stylish is by adding accessories! Handbags, jewelry, and sunglasses are items that you have to have to achieve that expensive look!
Once again, we can prove this point with a post from Mariana’s IG. See how simple yet sophisticated she looks with only a basic t-shirt and some accessories.
Zara and Mango both have some really nice options of high-street bags and sunglasses, which you should check out.
When it comes to jewelry, we love Rolanda Alves Jewels and Gems! This is a brand that has perfect pieces that are gold, silver, and rose gold plated! They have excellent options of super unique and beautiful earrings, necklaces, and rings. You have to check them out! Believe us, your outfit will feel suddenly elevated.
7- FLAT SLIP-ON SANDALS
Last but not least, we need to talk about shoes. Flat sandals are another must-have you need to own in order to achieve that chic look!
You can easily buy a pair that looks super expensive at a very low price at stores like Zara and Mango. They always have perfect options for you to choose from. Besides, these high street stores do a lot of designer inspiration items!
If you want to invest in a good designer pair we advise you to opt for the classic Oran sandals from Hermès, similar to the ones in Débora’s IG post.
In order to get the most wear out of your flats, we advise you to opt for pieces in “neutral” colors such as gold, silver, camel, black, or beige. These designs will look the most elevated but also will be the easiest to style.
