We live in a world where celebrity fashion is all the rage. Where “who’s wearing what” dominates the headlines, and social media floods us with the latest celebrity fashion trends. Yet, for those of us who don’t necessarily have the same salary as a Hollywood star, looking like them isn’t always realistic for our wallets.
However, looking like a star doesn’t necessarily mean you need to pay the same amount as they do. With a little bit of creativity and strategic fashion sense, you can look just as good as your favorite movie star— without going into crippling debt. Here are some practical ways you can look like a star, even with a modest budget.
Buy Second Hand
One of the most practical ways to look great without breaking the bank is buying things second hand. Whether you buy a vintage ring, or a used pair of designer boots, buying something that’s been gently used can potentially knock thousands of dollars off of the price.
The key to a star worthy wardrobe comes down to a little bit of strategy. Finding designer pieces often requires a little bit of digging, however, if you have the patience and the skill, you can deck out your wardrobe full of the latest designers, and make it look like you spent $100,000 on your outfit when you spent much less.
Strategically Wear Statement Accessories
News flash! Not everything in your outfit has to be a stand out piece. You could conceivably wear H&M basics that cost you a total of $20, however, if you have one statement accessory, it can elevate even the most basic of outfits.
Wear a bold statement necklace, or sport a chic pair of oversized designer glasses. Just one accessory can totally transform your look, and can be matched with multiple outfits, getting you even more bang for your buck.
Master Mixing and Matching
One of the most notable trends in celebrity fashion is the ability to effortlessly mix and match different looks. Once upon a time, you might have never dreamed of putting on a pair of sweatpants with a designer coat, however, the Kardashians proved to us that it wasn’t just possible, but it would even be seen on runways. Be a trendsetter, and mix everything from textures to patterns. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and try out something seemingly “crazy.”
Celebrities are never afraid to take risks, which is why we see them in magazines in the first place. If you want to be a star, then you have to stand out. So be bold, and embrace your creativity. After all, fashion is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone once in a while.
