All the Expensive-Looking Outfits I Like Have These 6 Wardrobe Basics in Common
It's a tale as old as time, but it rings true: you don't have to spend a lot on your outfit for it to look elevated and, ahem, expensive. In fact, just to prove that this is a thing, I mined my saved folder on Instagram for all the outfits that appear, in my mind, to be the definition of luxe-looking and I found that many of them repeated the same few specific types of wardrobe basics.
So while we all look to re-stock our basics from time to time, it all comes down to shopping for them with the specific details in mind, if you're looking to emulate this elevated vibe. For example, instead of simply typing "tank top" into your browser, instead try searching for square-neck tank tops specifically because the neckline makes the basic tank appear more current. It's the details like these that will add up to a current and elevated wardrobe.
With that, I've highlighted six of these elevated basics and explained why certain details make them stand out, so keep scrolling to discover them all.
Ribbed knitwear, as opposed to any other kind of knitwear, will almost always look expensive. You can spend $10 to $100 on an item and yet the ribbing gives off the same luxurious quality, every single time. + Rib-Knit Top ($25)+ Ribbed-Knit Pajama Top ($25)Like we mentioned before, square-neck tank tops (and bodysuits for that matter) are the simple upgrade that makes a lasting impact. Since the neckline is more current than a scoop or high neck, opting for a square-neck tank will have your outfit looking fresher.When it comes to wardrobe basics, I don't know why, but off-white shades of stone and ecru always look more updated than the same exact versions in plain black or plain white. Maybe it's because these neutrals have a luxuriousness about them inherently or maybe it's because they're slightly harder to find in your go-to tees and joggers, but regardless of the reason, they ensure an expensive-looking 'fit.Ah, good old blazers. We know we've hammered the idea of owning one into minds, but let me add a few more thoughts on the matter. Blazers, but specifically oversized and boxy cuts in neutral colors, don't have to be designer to look it. I poured over all my favorite blazer looks and kept coming back to these few details that make them all so stylish.You might see a satin or silk piece on Instagram and assume it's quite pricey, but that's not always the case. Anything with "bias cut" in the style name will automatically come off as elevated, whether it be a classic slip skirt, slip dress, or satin cowl-neck top.When was the last time you bought a belt? Let me guess, it was long enough ago not to remember. While it's not one of the most exciting purchases to make, having a classic leather belt in your closet can do wonders for elevating your simplest outfits. Yes, even jeans and a tee stand to appear more expensive-looking, as evidenced by Debora's look above.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
