5 fashion hacks to look posh on a minimum budget
No matter your income, exuding refinement and confidence is about looking rich, not necessarily being rich. Looking posh does not mean constantly splurging on expensive clothes. It is all about how you carry your outfits with style and confidence. If you are aiming for a luxe appearance on a tight budget, these fashion tips are worth considering.
Wear well-fitted clothes
Clothing that is excessively tight, too large, or otherwise unflattering won't ever reach its full potential. Take your favorite dresses, jeans, and other staples to a tailor; it's a worthwhile investment. After a few adjustments, your closet essentials will be tailored to fit you perfectly, giving you a well-put-together appearance. And, don't forget to keep them clean and wrinkle-free.
Choose your fabric carefully
Fabrics come in two varieties: natural and synthetic. Each fabric has its own usage, care, and styling guidelines. Understanding your fabrics helps you decide how to dress efficiently. Artificial fibers like polyester, nylon, and rayon won't drape well on your body like materials made of cotton or wool. Additionally, mixing these textiles often leads to stylistic disasters. When in doubt, go for natural fabrics.
Invest in subtle but statement jewelry
Choose your accessories wisely. If you are wearing a top with a plunging neckline, skip the necklace in favor of a leather watch or a set of pearl earrings. A delicate piece or two will improve your entire look. Additionally, add locally bought statement gold jewelry pieces to your wardrobe. Consider layered chains, gold-plated studs or earrings, and necklaces.
Opt for a minimalistic style
If you are feeling confused, stick to the mantra "less is more." Opt for fewer clashing designs, bright colors, and extravagant embellishments, and instead, go for plain, neutral pieces. When in doubt, choose a monotone for a simple yet stylish fit. And if you're having trouble putting an outfit together, limit your accessories to a bag, a pair of sunglasses, and some understated jewelry.
Have smarter accessories
Investing in simple and solid colored bags and footwear adds classiness to your outfit. Structured bags match most clothes, which results in significant cost savings. Have at least one structured bag in white and black in your closet. Avoid purchasing large bags because they can overwhelm your ensemble. Similarly, you can't look posh while wearing a pair of dusty, shabby, or cheap-looking footwear.
