Making sure that the fit is right, gives you a smooth silhouette, and will instantly make items seems like they cost more than they actually were.

Stay away from distress items.  The clothes you use should be fresh and look as good as new. Colours such as Red or Orange should be bold, and Black and White should look as though they are new. Items that look distress could make them look cheap.  So it’s best to avoid them.








  1. Fabric

Style may be personal, and easy to fake. Fabric however can be obvious, cheap fabric is a major culprit. As a general rule, it’s best to stay away from items with more than 20% synthetic fabric.  Opt instead for natural fiber fabrics such as cotton, linen and tweed.

It’s true when they say “the devil is in the details”. Always take notice of the details in a piece or item.  For example, you can change the cheap plastic buttons found on tops with more expensive looking ones.
