1. Upgrade the buttons on your jacket to elevate its appearance and make it totally one of a kind.
2. Make a simple white tee or basic outfit seem classy AF with some jewelry.
3. Shoes can make or break a look! Add a pop of color, some heels, or just make sure your footwear is taken care of with regular upkeep.
4. Get a more-polished look by making sure your clothes are properly tailored and proportional to your body type. Nothing says $$$ more than a good fit!
5. Carry a high-quality handbag and take good care of it for an easy polished look.
6. Pay attention to fabric quality, type, and care when buying new pieces.
7. Mix the pieces you invest in with your go-to inexpensive favorites.
8. Add a belt to make any style of outfit seem a bit more polished.
9. Care for your hair!
10. Layer your look to give it more dimension and glamour.
11. Let it hang off your shoulders and instantly get a little bit of Hollywood glamour.
12. Make your clothes last longer and maintain their quality by caring for them correctly.
13. Wear neutrals, like ivory and camel, to give even your cheapest clothes a high-quality look.
14. Never leave the house without giving your pieces a once over with your steamer, iron, or lint roller.
15. Keep your silhouettes and materials simple.
16. Make a uniform out of your black, white, or navy pieces.
17. Invest in standout pieces when you decide to spend your money, not the basics that you can get for less.
18. Hide bra and panty lines under your clothes.
19. Don't invest in "distressed" clothes. Buying clothes that look worn won't help in your endeavors to look fancy AF. Instead try crisp collars and clean lines.
20. Buy timeless outerwear -- like denim and trench coats -- that'll always be in style.
21. Avoid prints from fast-fashion brands...but if you must, go with leopard.
22. And, make sure your makeup is on point. It can often be your best accessory.
