[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 for Quince. You can also get excellent deals on places like The Real Real or Poshmark.

Wearing natural fabrics (cotton, linen, silk, wool, cashmere, etc) will look more expensive than synthetics. Tailoring and correct fit are also very important.

For more specific recommendations could you tell us about your style OP? Are you looking for work clothing, leisure clothing, or both? What size do you wear and are you ok with tight, revealing clothing, high heels, etc?

Personally I would avoid any sort of branded 'status jewelry' as I think it's tacky but plenty of others here will argue it looks expensive. It depends on your taste.

Op here. Both. I’ve just lost 115lbs. I’m 5’3, 145 right now. AA female. I never had a defined style per se when heavier. I do like a lot of the simplistic no label styles today - handbags like The Horse Clementine, basic tops and jeans, Lululemon, Madewell, Tuckernuck, as I used to shop at Chicos when I was heavier but I’m also newly 40.

Go, you! That is awesome.

I’d focus on nice building blocks. For example, a good pair of black pants and jeans, nice boots and ballet flats, a good bag, a longline wool coat. I personally think it’s easier to find less expensive but dupes of good stuff in tops and jewelry.

I agree with the recs to look at Quince. But J Crew, Madewell, Bloomingdales, etc all have good items, too, especially bc all of those stores frequently run sales. [/quote]
