A stylist shares 5 pieces you should invest in — and 4 you're probably better off buying for cheap
Well-made sweaters are an outfit maker.
A sweater made from natural materials like cashmere, wool, and cotton can keep you warm and tie an entire outfit together.
When you are willing to spend a little more, you can find sweaters with unique details such as statement sleeves, interesting necklines, and eye-catching colors.
Sweater fabrications with more than 30% acrylic might look cute, but they are likely to pill and deteriorate faster.
Sundresses from budget-friendly retailers are fine by me.
Generally, cheap summer clothing looks a lot better than cheap winter clothing. So, I'm in favor of low-cost sundresses.
When a dress fits well and has a lovely flow, it can look elegant even if it didn't cost much. So, if you spot a cute dress at Target or T.J. Maxx, buy it.
Throw it on with your nicer shoes and bag, and people may even ask you if it's from some expensive brand or special boutique. Just nod along and say yes.
It's often hard to tell if black office pants are expensive.
Though there are beautiful, well-cut black pants out there, you really can find them anywhere — or achieve the look with the help of a skilled tailor.
Wear a basic pair with your nice coat or expensive sweater, and no one will know they are a budget buy.
