5 Affordable Accessories that Make My Basic Tops Look Expensive

If there’s one thing I own a lot of in my closet it’s basic tops. From white tees to black tank tops, they’re the backbone of most of my outfits which I pair with practically everything from midi skirts to high-waisted jeans and relaxed trousers. But what really takes my basic tops to another level are the accessories I wear with them. From chic belts to pearl chains, the right accessories can make the simplest basics look ten times more elevated and expensive. The best part is that these items don’t need to cost a fortune—especially if you know the right places to look. Below, I want to share some of my favorite pieces that will make your basic tops look pricey and chic, not to mention are altogether on-trend for spring/summer 2021.

Pearls always have the ability to make any outfit look more luxurious—and this season we're seeing a cool and modern take on pearls—from unique shapes to pearls mixed with chains and other materials. They were spotted all over the S/S 21 collections from Chanel to Jason Wu and are trending hard this season. Whether you go for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets they'll make any basic top look more expensive.

There's nothing like a chic bag under your shoulder to make your basic tops look more stylish. Opt for this season's slouchy and soft curved carryalls featuring elevated details from ruching to knot details and sleek stitching.

From wide belts to skinny silhouettes, the chic accessory always makes an outfit feel more pulled together and polished. Tuck your basic top into your high-waisted jeans and cinch your waist with a belt for an easy and elevated look.

To be honest, any type of sunglasses will undoubtedly make any outfit look more expensive but it's the rectangle silhouettes that feel fresh right now and really give that wow factor. 

A chic printed scarf worn around your hair exudes a certain vintage look a la Audrey Hepburn that feels super fresh right now and will make any outfit look more sophisticated. Moreover, you can always tie the scarf around your neck for a French-girl vibe.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
