5 Ways to Make Your Outfit Look More Expensive Than It Is

By Jennifer Hussein, INSIDER

When it comes to style, many of us have champagne taste with beer pockets. While we'd all love to splurge on $1,000 dresses, our bank accounts usually lead us to the clearance section. And there's no shame in being a bargainista, because you don't need an expensive price tag to have fashion week-worthy style.

Add a statement piece.

When it comes to enhancing your look, Vazzana suggests adding an eye-catching accessory to make your outfit appear more polished and put together.

"By adding a statement piece of jewelry, a beautiful handbag or a classic shoe you can easily make a simple outfit look and feel more expensive," she said. "I always feel that gold colored jewelry gives an outfit a more luxe feel."

Play with your hairstyle.

While most people put all of the attention into their outfits, sometimes all you need to do is switch up your hairstyle. Vazzana suggests trying out new looks, which can be as simple as putting your hair into a sleek bun, to give your style a more posh feel. She also recommended playing with new and larger earrings to give your hairstyle an added statement.

Rock som faux fur.

As more and more brands go faux with their fur, it's the perfect time to snag yourself a piece. One of the best parts about faux fur is that it's a fraction of the cost of real fur, but it still gives your outfit a luxurious appeal.

"You can find inexpensive pieces that will really pull a look together and make it feel luxe," said Vazzana.

Faux fur can be found in just about any store, so grab a statement faux fur coat or handbag to give your style a sophisticated touch at bargain prices.

Play with jewel tones.

To give your style an added edge, Vazzana recommends playing around with jewels. Jewelry with a bit of bling will add some sparkle to your style and can make any outfit stand out with some unique jeweled pieces. And you won't have to sacrifice your rent for some beautiful jewel-toned accessories, because a variety of shops have faux-precious jewel pieces for under $50.

Confidence is all you need for a stylish outfit.

No matter how many expensive (or inexpensive) clothes, shoes, and accessories you have, the only way to make them radiate with chic style is by maintaining your confidence, according to Vazzana.

"At the end of the day, confidence is key," she said. "If you feel and act confident no one will be able to tell if your dress cost $5 or $5,000!"
