YOUR STYLING GUIDE FOR A LUXE LOOK
What if we told you that you can look a million dollars without the big spending element? Sounds too good to be true, right? Maybe not. From a quality feel to properly tailored garments by brands such as Ted Baker and Calvin Klein, plus the right accessories, there are many ways to elevate your wardrobe and achieve a high fashion aesthetic. Fabric choices and clothing care are all vital factors when it comes to creating ultra-luxurious outfits.
Check out our top tips and tricks to create a luxe-looking outfit and build a high-quality wardrobe, whatever your budget.
INVEST IN TIMELESS PIECES
A classic summer coat, straight-leg Levi’s, a pair of black penny loafers – some timeless looks never go out of fashion. While certain items in your wardrobe are more replaceable – t-shirts, loungewear, and socks, for instance – it's worth investing in a handful of high-quality, well-fitted staple pieces that you can build outfits around for years to come.
Style it Right
Contemporary fashion makes it easier than ever to form a wardrobe that consists of both classic, foundational pieces and more affordable, replaceable items. This makes it possible to create a sophisticated outfit for every occasion without breaking the bank or revamping your entire wardrobe.
WEAR TAILORED GARMENTS
A dress that's just a little too tight or trousers that are just a little too long can be all that stands between you and a luxury aesthetic. Well-fitted garments that are suited to your figure are a must for a polished look.
Style it Right
Putting effort into taking your measurements for online purchases, trying on sizes when in-store and even getting certain items, such as dresses, trousers, and designer shirts for men tailored is a simple way to elevate your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
GO FOR NEUTRALS
Neutrals never go out of style – the little black dress, plain white tee and navy trousers will always be in vogue. Whether it's an organic cotton sweater or an evening dress, opt for black, navy blue, beige, taupe, grey and white as the base colours of your wardrobe. This palette offers a tasteful, sophisticated look that can easily be styled. After all, nothing is more chic than an all black outfit!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
Tasteful jewellery, a pair of designer sunglasses or a timeless watch can both refine and complete any outfit. It's best to choose classic pieces and avoid anything too flashy when it comes to accessories. A dainty gold ring, classic watches such as Armani or Michael Kors , and of course a pair of designer sunglasses (on sale at Secret Sales), whether new or pre-owned, will have you looking luxe in no time.
BAGS AND SHOES
When it comes to shoes, setting the right tone is as important as keeping your shoes polished. Investing in a pair of versatile designer boots is certainly worth it in the long run, as is investing in a leather bag for women, whether new or pre-owned . If in doubt, rest assured that a structured handbag and pointed-toe shoe go a long way in transforming the most casual outfit into an elegant ensemble.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Putting an outfit together on a budget is easy once you have the confidence to seek out the essentials, as well as one or two ‘wow’ items that really set your look apart from the rest! This can include glamorous accessories such as jewellery or watches, statement bags, signature shoes or jacket/coat in the perfect colour for the season.
