Look classy without taking a huge chunk out of your bank account!
Are you the type of woman who buys clothes in-season? Or are you a frugal type who buys classic wear that never goes out of style no matter what season it is?
There’s nothing wrong with either!
But if you’re a person who has a lot of other priorities at hand, it would be quite impractical to spend a fortune on clothes, just to look presentable.
If you still want to look classy and elegant but don’t want to break the bank, you came to the right place because this is what this article is all about.
Wear black
Black is always classy. It’s safe yet edgy and it’s elegant. Have a go-to black dress. Pair it with a blazer to make it formal. Wear sandals and a hat to make it more casual.
For example, this black asymmetrical dress is simple, elegant, and undeniably classy.

Adding a blazer to any ensemble elevates your overall appearance instantly.
You don’t have to spend a lot to look royal. In fact, you can get an affordable blazer here on Amazon.
Just make sure you have the size right for you, that it is not too loose so it won’t look sloppy.
Make sure your clothes fit well
As mentioned above, wearing the proper fit of clothes will make you look snappy, not sloppy.
It will look like what you’re wearing isn’t something you’ve borrowed. There’s nothing wrong with borrowing clothes. However, with a good fit, you will look like you’ve thought about what you’re wearing. A good fit means no loose-fitting garments or excess fabric.

Don’t skip the lip color

The lipstick completes the symmetry of your face and the makeup look. You will definitely look classy with a bold red lip color.

Go for a neatly tied bun. If your hair is shorter, apply hairspray to make your hair stay put no matter what you’re doing.

Less is more
Wear minimal makeup. Wear only a few pieces of jewelry such as your watch, necklace, and earrings. When you buy quality clothes instead of quantity, you can just mix and match. The good news is it won’t take so much of your closet space!
Hang them, steam, and iron them before wearing them for maximum impact.
