Tips on looking expensive and put together when plus size

Start with the basics. Well groomed hair. Classy, well done makeup. Simple gold jewelry - or simple silver/platinum jewlery - depends on your skin tone.

I also think a quality trench coat makes every outfit look more expensive!

I think they key is having a few investment pieces that elevate your look. Like I wear glasses so i invested in a good quality pair as I wear them every day. I also drop extra money on shoes and bags, because I wear them frequently and they can make a big difference to your outfit as a whole.

You can buy designer bags on consignment, just make sure they don't look too worn. You want to look put together, it's all about looking crisp, fresh and well maintained.

- Invest in quality pieces and buy less rather than lots of items that are cheap.

- ⁠A nice leather bag. It doesn't have to be designer, just good quality.

- Nice shoes. Again, doesn't have to be designer but quality.

- ⁠Pants that fit, bras that fit (everything should fit, really, but I feel like pants and bras are most important).

- If you have a nice top or dress that you like but that looks kinda cheap, nicer buttons can help.

- ⁠Invest in a good mascara that doesn't smudge or clump.

- Find a hairstyle that suits you and your lifestyle. If you barely have time to do your hair in the morning, don't get a high maintenance hair style.

- ⁠Some classic jewelry can go a long way (and doesn't have to be super expensive)

- ⁠Invest in some high quality basics and add some cheaper more "in fashion" items to round out the looks.

- Simple nail colors and manicured hands

- ⁠For men similar things are important: Clothing that fits, a good haircut, manicured hands, good shoes, invest in basics, well kept facial hair

these are great tips! I think investing in key pieces like a luxury bag. I am saving for a Chanel bag but it might be a few more years before I can get one!

Great tips. I absolutley agree with investing in key quality items and creating a (dare I say) capsule wardrobe.

When it comes to fabrices I normally try to look for clothes that don't have loads of elastane/spandex as they can be very clingy.

Invest in amazing items that can go season to season and year to year. Leather boots. Great bag, fun jewlery - make your make with very special key elements that only you wear. Invest in a capsule wardrobe. Go with a few key fabrics that will last over the years, linen, silk, cotton, wool such as cashmere. Having those fabrics that look very expensive helps create a more European feel. The women in Paris and Italy really understand this, with small collections of amazing items they change up the acessories and one beautiful sweater can be worn 2-3 times per week with different scarves or jewlery.

love those tips @lassstylist 😍
