1. Invest in Basic and Versatile Pieces
In my experience, the first step to looking stylish is to have basic versatile clothes . Such as plain t-shirts, classic denim, neutral coloured shirts and skirts. These clothes can easily be mixed & matched with every style.
Example: I layered a simple white t-shirt with a jacket and scarf. Just one accessory and the look changed completely.
2. Accessorize Smartly
Accessories are the soul of your outfit. In my budget-friendly street style experiments, sunglasses, statement earrings, belts and cute handbags gave the outfit a high-end look.
Tip: Buy trendy accessories from dollar stores, local markets or online budget stores.
