Brands don't save you - how to look expensive without luxury - secrets of famous styling

 • 10131 переглядiв

Halyna Denysiuk named the rules for combining basic items to create a high-status look. The density of fabrics and monochrome colors play a key role.

An expensive look has long ceased to be synonymous with luxury brands and big spending. Today, details, combinations, and a sense of style play a key role. Stylist Halyna Denysiuk is convinced: you can look expensive even in basic things - if you know a few simple rules. Halyna Denysiuk, a well-known stylist, told UNN about these rules.

Details

It's not the brand that looks expensive, but how you put the outfit together. It's always about cleanliness, proportions, and confidence, not logos

- Denysiuk notes.

A simple look that looks expensive

For example, a casual look: white straight jeans, a basic T-shirt, and a jacket. Such an outfit can look very classy if:

  • the jeans hold their shape and don't "sag";
    • the T-shirt is thick and not see-through;
      • the jacket has a clear shoulder line.

        Add minimalist jewelry, a structured bag, and clean shoes - and the look already looks like something from Pinterest.

        Black total look

        A completely black outfit is one of the easiest ways to look expensive:

        • black pants + black turtleneck + coat.

          But it is important that the fabrics differ in texture - for example, a combination of knitwear, wool, and suiting fabric. This adds depth and "pulls together" the look.

          Total looks always look more expensive than a mix of ten colors. Especially if it's a calm, deep palette

          - explains the stylist.

          Beige look in "quiet luxury" style

          Another example is monochrome in beige shades:

          • light pants;
            • milk sweater;
              • trench coat or coat.

                Such looks are associated with "quiet luxury," even if all items are from the mass market.

                Incorrect example

                For contrast, the stylist gives a typical mistake:

                • bright logo on a T-shirt;
                  • low-quality skinny jeans;
                    • a bag with a lot of decor.

                      Even if these items are from brands, the look can appear cheaper due to overload and lack of balance.

                      When there is too much of everything in an outfit - colors, logos, details - it automatically loses the feeling of expensive style

                       - Denysiuk emphasizes.

                      The secret is in the details

                      A few more simple examples that "elevate" the look:

                      • instead of thin knitwear - thick;
                        • instead of a wrinkled shirt - perfectly ironed;
                          • instead of chaotic accessories - 1-2 accent pieces of jewelry;
                            • instead of worn shoes - a clean, well-maintained pair.

                              Jeans + shirt = status

                              Even a basic combination of jeans and a shirt can look expensive if:

                              • the shirt has a dense fabric;
                                • the sleeves are neatly rolled up;
                                  • a belt and classic shoes are added.

                                    An expensive look is always about being put together. As if you didn't try, but you look perfect

                                    - adds the stylist.

                                    As a result, as Halyna Denysiuk summarizes, expensive style is not about money, but about taste and attention to detail. And these things today decide more than any brand.
