Looking rich isn't just about flashy logos and chunky jewelry so valuable it must be stored in a safe.

All-Cream

A tonal outfit always looks polished. Choose shades like off-white, cream, camel, taupe and beige and mix and match luxe textures like leather, wool and silk for an even sleeker take.

Belted Coat

A timeless, tailored coat or classic trench instantly elevates any outfit. Choose a light-colored wool coat with a belt in the winter to keep you warm, and it's such a smart option than the traditional black. Lighter colors are often more elegant since they create a more ''clean'' appearance.  If you wish, you can put on a different belt that doesn't come with your coat and accentuate your waist.  There are great alternatives to leather belts in fast fashion stores that look like the real deal.

Tailored Suit

Nothing is more elegant and sophisticated than a well-tailored suit in winter. Blazers and suits are great for this time of the year because they are very covering and often require you to layer a bit. They look sophisticated, so you can easily wear this to the office, or you can wear it maybe even at night. Coming in all kinds of colors, materials, and even shapes. Tweed and wool are perfect options. You can go to even fast fashion stores and buy quite inexpensive but nice-looking suits and blazers. Opt for thick materials and structured shapes that look more expensive.
