If you’re going to invest your money in any part of your wardrobe, it should be this part. Having timeless items in your wardrobe will mean that you have pieces that can carry you through many seasons and possibly even many years.

If you prefer not to spend a lot of money, you can find more inexpensive options for timeless pieces. They will look exactly the same when you’re putting an outfit together. They may just not last as long.

Wearing one color is an excellent way to make your outfit look more expensive. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to wear hot pink head-to-toe; it just means that you should wear variations of one color in your outfit.

You can do this by matching your shoes to your shirt and having your pants be a color that complements your shirt and shoes. You can also do this by wearing a dress and shoes of the same color and accessorizing with a bag that complements them both.

Stay On-Trend

Now that you have your more expensive timeless pieces in your closet, you can go out and buy some on-trend pieces from stores that are not as expensive. Doing this will allow you to stay fashionable without spending much money.

The best part about buying trendy items at low prices is that you won’t be upset if they don’t last because it is likely that they will no longer be in fashion by next season. Knowing this will allow you to buy inexpensive, trendy pieces much more quickly.

Neutrals

While bright colors are stunning and eye-catching, if you want to look classy and expensive, it is better to go for a neutrally colored outfit. Wearing earth tones or black and white instantly elevates your outfit.

This is not to say that you should never have any color in your wardrobe. Your accessories can be colorful, and you can own one or two clothing items that have a pop of color in them that you can wear to satisfy your color cravings.

Confidence

The most important thing to wear with any outfit is confidence. You could have the best outfit in the room, but if you are not feeling good about yourself and exuding self-confidence, it will seem like you put no effort into your outfit.

You have to wear clothes that feel good to you to feel confident, so make sure that you’re comfortable in your clothes, even if they’re not trendy. Feeling comfortable in your outfit will make a world of difference.
