Fashionable 7 nuances that will make your outfit look cheap and how to fix it: tips from stylists

Amanda used to be a physical therapist. In 2014, she started a fashion blog to break away from housework after the birth of a child. It soon became clear that the girl’s advice was popular and in 2019 she became a stylist.

Amanda says her goal is to help women build a wardrobe with pieces they love and feel confident in. The “chip” of the stylist is the use of inexpensive clothes that are available to every girl.

Amanda recently posted a list of hacks on her YouTube channel that will help you upgrade your outfit without spending a fortune. Here’s what you can do to make even the simplest jeans and sweaters look expensive.

No matter how much a pullover costs you, if you don’t take care of it properly, it will quickly turn into a cheap rag. Amanda believes that a “must have” for every girl is a spoolie knife, she also advises to pay attention to the label that indicates the rules for washing and ironing things.

In addition, the stylist advises to be careful with cheap plastic hangers – because of them, tops stretch very quickly and lose their shape. John thinks that knitwear is best stored on shelves, especially sweaters.

And finally, Amanda reminds us not to forget what shoes look like. If your favorite pair is too shabby, you either have to stop wearing it or send it for restoration – artisans working in this area can do wonders and can “rejuvenate” shoes and boots and turn them into “freshly bought”.

“Less is more – the simpler the jeans, the more expensive they will look,” says Amanda. He believes that it is necessary to choose the most appropriate models and pay attention to the quality of their tailoring. “Look at the zipper, make sure it’s not green and you can’t see it when you’re zipping up your pants,” advises the stylist.

“No matter how much a silk blouse costs, if it’s transparent, it will look cheap,” John is sure. She recommends paying attention to the density of the fabric on each piece—no one wants to see your bum when you put on leggings.

When investing in high-end designer clothing to pair with mass-market clothing, keep in mind a basic rule: you can’t be a walking billboard for a fashion house, even if you love it dearly. Amanda believes that you cannot “show” more than two logos and it is better if they are placed on accessories.

Pants that don’t fit, a blouse that’s about to be unbuttoned – things like that will turn your look cheap, even if you shop at a high-end boutique. So don’t flatter yourself by routinely buying things in the same size as 10 years ago, choose models that fit you best and don’t skimp on tailoring clothes if you plan to wear them for several years.

Are you wondering what to ask your loved ones as a New Year’s or birthday present? According to Amanda, every woman who wants to look elegant and “expensive” needs a good steamer. But crumpled things spoil any image – girls who wear them are considered by others to be lazy and unkempt. The stylist also advises to remove any protruding threads from the clothes and always check the seams before buying – they should be straight and neat.

“You can wear designer clothes, but if you don’t feel like a million dollars in them, you won’t look like one,” says Amanda. She recommends wearing only clothes you feel comfortable in and avoiding high-heeled shoes if you feel uncomfortable and unstable.
