Will you like to look classy and expensive without breaking the Bank?
To be honest, everyone likes to be appreciated, admired and complimented, okay let me say it … look expensive!
Most times, the difference between a good day and a bad day might just be the aura you give out and the way people respond to you.
Taking care of your appearance is very important if you want to look expensive on a budget. Getting compliments on your look and outfit may also help to improve your state of mind and put a smile on your face. I also need to emphasize looking elegant and classy does not mean looking boring.
Check out these top tips to help you stand out at any meetup or occasion even while on a budget.
1. Dress and look classy always
You can pull off a simple classy look by wearing more subtle tone colours like white, cream, beige, nude colours and monochrome outfits. Avoid wearing check on check, pattern on pattern and the like. Also, you can rock your neutral tones over and over without drawing attention to yourself that you are repeating clothes.
2. Pair clothes with nice outdoor glasses and jewellery
Pick a nice shade/ frame that fits your face and helps make your entire outfit pop. It helps to give a classy finish. Trust me, it will take you from plain Jane to celebrity goddess in seconds. Try simple jewellery that will help to elevate your dressing and when it comes to jewellery, less is more. Try not to stack up so much.
3. Minimal makeup
Unless you are going for an ‘owambe’ party like we like to call it in Nigeria, heavy makeup is a no–no. Earth toned and natural tone make up can be vibrant without being excessively loud. Your make-up should complement your look not distract everyone from the beauty of your outfit.
4. Look neat
Beards should be well-groomed, hair neatly done, nails well-kept and I advise gel polish instead of regular polish that will chip off with time and leave you looking unkempt.
5. Most importantly, your carriage is everything
Your posture, the way you walk, the way you talk and carry yourself with grace speaks volumes. Always look out for style inspirations on Instagram and Pinterest and keep looking fresh. Voila, you already look expensive without breaking the Bank !
