I remember when I saw the Thomas Crown Affair with Rene Russo back in 1998. Her character was powerful, fast talking, drank green smoothies before they were popular, and had impeccable style. In reality, the wardrobe was all Michael Kors, but in my mind, I was planning my next style metamorphosis. All these years later I still haven’t mastered that classic, luxury look, yet I still sometimes try. So what is it about this style that is so coveted. Something that seems to illustrate wealth, simplicity and chicness all at the same time. People always want to make a great impression, and even without a massive bank account, there are some easy methods for accomplishing that. If you want to achieve a classic look in your own way, keep reading for a few easy tips to have that luxury style for less.
Buy Clothes In Neutral Colors.
People usually buy clothes in their favorite colors, or just about any old color they find something that they like in. However, your buying process should be a little more organized if you want to look lavish all the time. Neutral colored clothes a la Thomas Crown Affair, go with everything and can look far more expensive than they really are. Buy your clothes in colors like beige, brown, white, and black.
Pay attention to fit.
Your clothes must fit you properly if you’re going to look great. You might not have a lot of money, but it’s definitely worth having a piece you love altered to fit your individual body shape. Having a piece tailored can make it look instantly more expensive!
Invest in a few quality jewelry pieces.
Quality jewelry lasts a lifetime, and can be passed down through generations. You can see diamond pricing from Diamond Registry to get an idea of what to spend on these pieces. Remember, these are pieces you’ll keep forever and wear a lot over your lifetime, making them wardrobe staples that will never go out of style.
Never over-accessorize.
Many designers and stylish people recommend taking off the last thing you put on before you leave the house, or looking in the mirror and taking off the first thing you see.
Add Sunglasses.
A pair of sunglasses can sometimes makes an outfit look more expensive. And the best part of this particular accessory is there are so many to choose from in every price category. From Dior, to Ray Ban’s, or H&M, this item can instantly update any look.
Buy one investment piece at a time.
It’s always better to take your time when buying the items in your wardrobe. This way you can spread the cost, and make sure that you’re actually buying quality items that you’ll wear again rather than going on a spree for the sake of it. Buy one piece at a time and slowly build up your collection of essentials and staples.
Don’t forget little beauty details.
You don’t need to make too much of an effort, but sometimes the little extra details in our hair, beauty, or even skincare can make a difference in how we feel about our appearance. So why not invest in some of them.
