Let’s take a closer look at 6 items that make any outfit look expensive!
Dana | Tailor Your Pieces
Tailoring is one of the most important factors for a chic, elevated look. Even budget friendly clothes can look high end if they fit well.
Wide Leg Trousers {Petite, Plus, & Tall Sizing}
Katie | Accessorize With A Structured Bag
A structured bag brings a sense of refinement and elegance to any outfit. Unlike slouchy or overly casual styles, a bag with clean lines, quality hardware, and a defined shape adds a polished finish to your look. It signals thoughtful styling and attention to detail — two key elements of a luxe appearance. A well-made, structured bag is also timeless, making it a smart investment piece that pulls your outfits together seamlessly.

Katey | Embrace Monochromatic Looks
A chic monochromatic look is the easiest way to make your outfit feel elevated – especially when it’s monochromatic neutrals. Another variation of this is tone-on-tone, where the colors are all slight variations of the same shade.

Katie | Buy A Timeless Statement Coat
A statement coat instantly elevates any outfit, making it feel more polished and intentional. Whether it’s a bold color, a luxe texture like wool or cashmere, or an oversized silhouette, a great coat is the ultimate power piece. It can turn even the simplest jeans-and-tee combo into a chic, put-together look that feels effortlessly expensive. Investing in a statement coat not only keeps you warm but also adds sophistication to your entire wardrobe.
Double Faced Wrap Coat {Extended & Petite Sizing}
Dana | Wear A Belt
An often overlooked accessory, a belt manages to upgrade just about any outfit. Invest in a neutral shade that you know you’ll be able to throw on with anything you want to pair it with to take your look to the next level.
Katey | Finish Your Look With A Stylish pair of Sunglasses
Investing in sunglasses isn’t for everyone, but that accessory can certainly enhance your look. Quay is a popular, moderately priced brand of sunglasses that can give you that elevated look without breaking the bank.
And here’s an even more affordable pair of really stylish shades!
