Tips & Tricks to Make Your Clothes Look More Expensive

Keep your shoes in good shape

It's easy to let your footwear get scuffed up and worn out. Stop by the shoemaker and get him (or her) to replace the sole and shine 'em up, or buy shoe-care and use it regularly. 

Invest in a quality and timeless coat

Your jacket is the first thing people see, so spend some money on a nice one. It doesn't matter what you're wearing underneath. If it's a timeless style it can last you season after season too. 

Purchase a steamer

Wrinkled clothing never, ever looks chic.

Get your items tailored

A $10 Kmart cheapie can instantly appear pricier if it's perfectly fitted to your body.

Get your clothing dry-cleaned

Yes, it costs a bit more money, but it will make your items last longer, and it'll look like you only just got those pants from the store.

Throw on some cocktail jewelry

A statement ring, necklace or ear cuff can make any outfit stand out, and no-one needs to know you got it from the dollar store. 

Store your clothing properly

Hanging loose knit sweaters on wire hangers can stretch them out and ruin there shape. If you store your item the proper way, they will hang on your body the way they were meant to.

When it doubt, buy it in black

Darker colors tends to look more expensive as you can't see imperfections or the lack of quality fabric.
