10 Hacks To Look Expensive On A Budget

[@amandamorton-king2112]

An absolutely excellent tip and not one I have heard anywhere else from even the best style advisers - "Don't buy bright colours in cheap fabrics". First class advice.

[@chicanica64]

Yes. Had never heard this!

[@kelsie_adams]

Hi, not a negative, but if the buttons look cheap, but the garment and change the buttons. Fabric stores have a wall of buttons. Being the garment with you to get the correct size of button. Sewing on a button is easily done by hand. I promise. Watch a KZbin video of how to sew a button.

[@Bengalgirl2]

I just bought a green silk like shirt from Zara that was recommended by one of my favorite influencers. The color was gorgeous but the second I put it on the CHEAP fabric was so obvious. Returned!

[@traitresse]

This is so true!

[@lindadorman2869]

Both of my grandmothers and my mother were elegant, fashionable ladies with impeccable classic taste. I don't think I ever saw them wear jeans, athletic wear or sneakers. They often switched the buttons on items to brushed or matte metals that look expensive. They taught me to wear only natural fabrics such as silk, cotton, linen, wool, cashmere and leather. Such a valuable life lesson!

[@SemekiIzuio]

Wow they sound like very beautiful women.

From dating advice to fashion and being a high quality woman, you’ve been like the cool big sis I always wished I had. Love how straightforward you are even when talking about controversial views. Thank God for Anna!

[@WayToVibe]

I had a wool/poly blend coat that I swapped out the plastic buttons for metal ones which were engraved with a generic shield/crest emblem. Instantly made the coat look like it was $100. People have asked where I got the coat and did not believe me when I told them it was $35 on clearance at Target, and that I spent 10 min sewing on $8 worth of buttons to upgrade the look. My next coat will be all wool, tea length and I'm going to sew it myself. That way I can get a perfectly tailored coat with all those high end tailoring details for just the cost of fabric and buttons.

[@HelloDecember525]

That's fantastic!!!! You should post photos and sell on etsy if you get a lot of compliments on it! If you're interested I think that would be great- people are willing to pay a decent price for something that is beautiful. You can package it nicely so it can feel like a gift to the buyer as well. Just an idea! :)

[@latinaalma1947]

This is something I miss from living in the USA I would go to a fabric store and find good quality buttons. I even replace the buttons on a very expensive blazer of my hubsnads with BETTER quality buttons it is the top thing you can do to upgrade a simpl plain not obvioisly cheap and sleazy clothing item.

[@wardinahbahati]

Hi! I’m a modest-fashion wearer and I watch your videos all the time. I find the advise suitable for modest-fashion wearer too(no matter what your religious or cultural backgrounds may be). I think one the main key things I’ve implemented from you which instantly has made an immediate difference in my wardrobe has been about buttons, fabrics, colour choices. 🙌🏼

[@shineyshiney77]

I agree with all the points mentioned by Anna... In fact, I try to invest only in expensive fabrics like silk or linen even if it means buying less because they last long and now i have a better wardrobe where I don't have to think a lot before wearing anything. So it saves time too. Also, the hack that i use is to buy such quality clothes from sale, so i shop twice or thrice a year only but have a better collection.

[@newenglandgirl9523]

Me too. I have always purchased my cashmere items from Neimans. I wait for the annual sale and carefully select a new piece. They last forever and look and feel as the first day worn.

All great tips Anna. When my aunt, who was a Stunning beauty in the 40s thru 80s (now 96) shops with me online for patterns, her guideline for a no-go is when she says, "that pattern looks like curtains." :) She likes polka dots and stripes. We have the same taste, but I've still learned so much from her. Thanks again Anna.

[@gmoni2456]

[@fairysoulz4903]

Anna, I must tell you. I have been collecting your tips for quite some time now and I could not be more greatful for every single one! I have been slowly investing in garments that are linen and silk ect.. and on my recent trip I wore every single item and I felt so put together and energized. My favorite outfit was a blue linen dress with a belt around the waist. We were boating and even though I got splashed here and there I didn't leave the boat wet at all. We went right to dinner and I felt appropriately dressed for both occasions. Thanks Anna so much!

[@LadyParisien]

It is taking me hours to get through this - why? Because I just stopped halfway through to sort out all the clothing in my wardrobe that doesn't fit me well that I've been holding on to for years! Thank you Anna! 😘 And I love Lilysilk! Thank you for partnering with them! 😍💕

[@BreaEssex]

I don’t think I will EVER understand why people wear sweatpants out in public. And the only time I wear a hoodie out of the house is when I’m sick, and even that I’m trying to get away from, because I think it makes me look messy. I love that you mentioned NECKLINES! I can’t wear some necklines, due in part to my bust size. But honestly, most of what I learned about fashion (before I found your channel) I learned from my grandmother. She was a very classy lady, and the older I’ve gotten, the more she’s become my role model in many ways! I’m sure she would be thrilled to see my journey to becoming more elegant. She taught me to sew, set a proper table, and gave me the very important advice of: “Don’t wear too much rouge.”

[@empireorient733]

Honestly same about sweatpants and hoodies! That’s why I have 0 hoodies and like 4 sweatpants that’s only worn at home or if it’s a cozy hangout at a friend’s place for a movie night

[@TravelPhotoWriter]

@@sausagedogggg I have seen what your talking about! I'm guessing it is in the details Anna does talk about- they have perfectly on point hair, accessories, jewelry and skin. Anna has said in many videos that if you have great hair done neatly with a fresh healthy face look, most outfits can be overcome. In short, once you create a good base, almost anything would look good. I'm not sure I am right, but check it out and let me know by tagging me in a response if you think of it.

[@louise7401]

I think some people wear comfortable, overly casual clothing because they have things to do that require them - washing the car, cleaning, cooking, gardening, etc. and we don't want to ruin the nice clothes. But then we end up just staying on those clothes all day.

[@cupcake86eg]

Thank you so much for dissing that horrible horrible low waist trend! I was a teenager during the early 2000s where those cuts were the norm and I couldn’t wear them because they never flattered my body type and I thought there was something wrong with my body not them!

[@kuramacabre]

The same happened to me. I am very flattered by high waist instead, and back then it was seen like a terrible faux pas. When low rise made its comeback I was like hell no...

[@celesteharmer2580]

I hated low-rise pants. They either muffin-topped me or slid down. I was relieved when high-rise pants came back!

[@violakarl6900]

same, i despise lowrise

[@annar3068]

Although I agree with you for many body shapes, for very petite women we actually look very good. Because low-rise turns mid-rise on us. Im 4'11" and there is so many more pants options to choose from when low-rise goes in style. Buying petite clothes has limited choices. But buying low-rise pants, then hem = perfect fit that looks tailored. Imo low, rise is a teen or petite style.

[@lateromantic]

I always change the buttons on cheap clothes - it's so easy, a cheap hack, but it really elevates your look

[@WhiteRussianNatashin]

[@debbiemize2269]

Love your fashion tips and your efforts to us all be elegant ladies! I know my neckline has to be either a v neck or a scoop neck. Anything tight or high around my neck makes me feel as if I’m choking!! Can’t take that. You always look so elegant and put together. My pet peeve in fashion: I am older (70) and was very overweight. I have recently lost a substantial amount of weight due to an illness, but it seems clothing manufacturers have the idea that older women don’t care how we look as long as it’s comfortable! Nothing could be farther from the truth! We still want to be and look stylish, refined, and beautiful!

[@alaskacosplay]

Black is my best friend when I want to look expensive. Matte, solid, smooth black fabric like neoprene is perfect since it's opaque, stretchy and comfy but not overly flowy.

[@jrrj-vf4jb]

I would change the buttons on that green dress 👍🏼

[@maitrishah8580]

I love these style secrets! Absolutely dislike low waist jeans, bodycon dresses, gym/bicycle shorts and crop tops. There is nothing refined and elegant about them at all! Nothing beats silk button downs, well fitted trousers, midi dresses and skirts. It just looks like someone's made an effort and making an effort goes a long way in how you are perceived. All in all great advice dear Anna!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Modesty is essential for elegant dressing, I’ve always had a no-visible cleavage rule, I just prefer it, and a one of three rule: short, tight or revealing, I choose only one in an outfit, not all three. I love your tips, Anna. Your popularity has spawned so many imitators, mostly teenagers and those in their 20s, on YT. But, I value your ideas so much more because you are the only one who has actually worked hard to get all the qualifications and training that applies to an elegant lifestyle. I looked at a new “Elegance” channel the other day, her only qualifications were that she “helped over 1,000 women”, but at her age, she probably hasn’t even met than many women. Any creator can put together a few classic outfits, as we all can just at a glance, but the basic knowledge, experience and depth just isn’t there. I’m not going to support copycats, anyway. BTW, I think those earrings are too yellowish for your cool coloring, sorry.

[@Chicquette]

Anna I have to call out the elephant in the room. That shot of your waist in low cut skinny jeans is so incredibly inspiring 🥰. Showing less flattering parts vs talking about them is as different as black and white. As a content creator I talk about the illusion of social media and the distorted message it sends out. Not everything looks picture perfect as we are led to see. Thank you for setting such an amazing example, keeping it real and sharing yourself with us. 💖

[@TravelPhotoWriter]

I thought the same! It's kinda inspiring to know that Anna can look less than amazingly perfect!!. I was kind of shocked at how not-good those low rise jeans look on her.

I completely agree with avoiding prints. Even an expensive looking print can be cheaply produced. I always look at the seams to see if the fabric aligns properly.

I am in my 57th year, not your typical demographic, but I just had to thank you for highlighting the importance of elegance. Remember that money can't buy class, and etiquette is simply making others feel comfortable and bringing order, not a weapon of the mean-spirited with which to disparage others. My great-grandmother did not have the advantages of wealth, but she was a true lady, gracious and of refinement. (Sugar is refined. Ladies are of refinement, she always told me). My mother taught me to shop for garments at the Goodwill/charity shops in the affluent neighborhoods, and in the resort towns. I'm from the Mid-Atlantic region, where the money is older than the Constitution, by a century in some cases. One can find excellent furniture and interior decor in these shops, as well, especially at the resort areas, as there is a greater likelihood of beach house owners to redecorate frequently. I hope these tips from an old crone will serve you all well.

Since I discovered this channel I cleaned my closet and I'm practically marathoning videos. I loved the tips in this video because it made it even easier to separate pieces that I considered doubtful in my closet. But the scarf around my neck doesn't make me feel very comfortable.

I really apprechiated the part where you showed the unflattering waist placement, so that one could fully understand when a cut simply doesn't fit a body type. But my dear, no, beloved, Anna, don't grab yourself like that. You're perfectly fine normal or even slender woman and you are beautiful

[@thevintagekitty]

Totally agree about the low-rise pants. Twenty years have passed and I have NEVER owned a pair because they look terrible on me. I also think hems can make garments look cheap.

Over the decades, I have figured out that I prefer solid fabrics, scoop and V necklines, 3/4 to full length sleeves, and mid-rise pants. I live in a climate that gets to 115 degrees F during the summer. That causes every restaurant, store, and shop to blast the air conditioner until it is freezing cold inside. Many of us have to bring a light sweater along because it is uncomfortably chilly inside. We cannot wear skirts or longer shorts unless we also bring along a lap throw. So I wear lightweight pants during the summer.

I love the format of this video I was able to come back to it and take notes, the added points with the * are a big help. tysm Anna

Anna, this hairstyle is super beautiful on you 😍

[@MsNattt]

I used to always wear fancy silk scarves with a suit for work and then someone made a comment that I look like a flight attendant lol . So I stopped wearing scarves

[@daliya6990]

yassss I got so excited when Anna introduced the sponsorship for this video because honestly I don't remember she had any ads in her videos!!! Especially knowing how natural fabric is important to her, and silk is an amazing fabric to elevate your look with. Go Anna!! 😍😍😍 SO happy for you!!🥰

Apart from the value that I get, there's just something about the way you speak that makes me watch up until the very last second! 👏

[@Realityscopee]

Anna you look so beautiful 🤩 Dark green suits you sooo well

[@sbahar1010]

I couldn’t agree with you more on “ leave something for imagination”. Some women show way too much 🙄

[@WayToVibe]

If you're going to wear slippery silks during the day, be careful to get something with the correct cut and fit. Otherwise people will be wondering who let you out of the house in a negligee.

Excellent point! Often times silk charmeuse like Anna prefers might benefit from wearing a slip underneath to make the garment look like street wear rather than lingerie.

[@Anon-lg5rj]

exactly ! This is the difference I find between high end and streetwear . These silk pieces look like sleepwear.

[@hennahannnah]

Anna has stated before she likes “silk” and goes on to indicate silk charmeuse. Since all silk is not charmeuse, another video topic for her might be on different weaves of silk, discussing the weights of silk fibers and how weightier silk can look extremely elegant while inexpensive silk can look cheaper than certain brands of polyester. She consistently trains her viewers on the details that go into a polished presentation, so it would seem to be right up her alley.
