How do I look classy on a budget?

A lot of the time, looking stylish on a budget comes down to how you accessorise.

Adding jewellery, a belt, sunglasses and a nice bag can really elevate an outfit and take it from good to great.

Neutral colours and structured shapes also tend to make an outfit look “classier”.

How can I look effortlessly stylish everyday?

You can make small changes in your everyday life that can transform your outfit.

Things you can do to look effortlessly stylish everyday include making sure your clothes don’t have wrinkles, wearing delicate jewellery, combining wide or flowy pants with more form-fitting tops, wearing neutral colours and being confident.

No matter what you’re wearing, confidence will make your look shine.
