5 Ways to Look Expensive Without Spending Money: Style Tips from a Coach

Elegance does not require cost, but intelligence and knowledge, says TikTok blogger and stylist Carey Less. The girl posted a video in which she gave five tips for women who want to look “expensive” but aren’t ready to buy things that cost half their salary each.

The first recommendation on Lesse’s list is to always make sure your clothes are wrinkle-free. “What can seem more expensive than a clean, perfectly ironed white shirt?” Carey asks her followers a rhetorical question.

Less isn’t the only one who thinks a steamer is a great investment. British stylist Ellis Ranson, who works with movie stars, agrees. According to Ranson, wrinkled things always “depreciate” the outfit, no matter how much they cost.

“You can detach the straps for free,” says Carey. She recommends doing this even if the straps match the color of the top perfectly: an expensive and elegant look suggests that no one will see your underwear. By the way, this also applies to panties: they should not show through tight jeans, skirts, dresses or leggings.

“Dirty hair can ruin even the most expensive look,” says Less. Elegance coach and wife of a millionaire Anna Bey, who founded her own etiquette and style school, stands in solidarity with her, where girls are taught to be proper ladies capable of impressing rich men. Bey recommends every woman to get a dry shampoo, which will save if there is not enough time for water procedures.

Carey thinks it’s important to always have a fresh manicure. “Don’t apologize for not having any money. You can do it yourself,” she says. However, some designs should be avoided: there are types of nail art that will make any look tasteless and “cheap”.

According to Less, it is very important that the clothes do not look worn. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the pellets from them in time – for this it is enough to purchase an inexpensive razor or special device. Ranson also advises not to wash things too often: you can refresh them with a steamer or… a refrigerator!
