Combine dressy pieces with prerequisites: Whether it’s a splendid pair of skinny denim or a classic white blouse, be sure to mix up the fabrics to keep your ensemble visually exciting. We like Victoria Beckham’s glam combo of a soft grey cardigan and an edgy print dress in this shot with Elle Singapore!

Invest in a statement piece, like a classy blazer: Add a classic blazer to your favourite pair of dark-wash skinny jeans to instantly transition an everyday outfit into a footbridge-ready ensemble. You don’t need to splurge on one straight off the airstrip, either. We like this ASOS Blazer in Crepe With Slim Lapel in a gorgeous Cerise shade, $ 97.

Use bold garnishing to bring life to wardrobe basics: If you’re hoping to look “expensive”, you may want to pay attention to the pretty little details. Metallic garnishing play a essential role in giving off the illusion of the designer look. Try pairing that timeless little black dress from the thrift store with a gold-tone statement necklace, like this ALDO Mongeau Clean Metal Collar Necklace from ASOS, $ 39.

Have pants, skirts and dresses tailored for a chic and form-fitting look: Bottoms which are tailored to your figure will always give off a classic and well-made vibe. If you’re petite, have your dress pants tailored for a flawless look. You can always find a classic pair of trousers on the low-cost, but have them altered for a airstrip-worthy end.

Rock a vibrant scarf or shawl: Nothing says “timeless chic” quite like a bold printed shawl or a vivid pashmina scarf. It could be from your local road market or found at the vintage store, but it must give off that alluring air of style. Try this Lightweight Oversized Pashmina Wrap in Coral Blossom, $ 12.40.

Find a pair of fabulous pumps to bring you from day to night: You may not be able to afford those coveted Christian Louboutins right now, but it’s no bolt from the blue that a splendid pair of classic pumps can make a girl’s day (or evening). At $ 99, these wallet-friendly INC Global Concepts Women’s Lucey Pumps in Black are perfect for pairing with a trendy pencil skirt.
