+1, anything that pulls or pinches will look cheap. Oversized clothes don't so much look cheap as they make you look uncouth, but the effect is the same. Clothes should fit, especially in the shoulders, hips, waist, and to the correct hem. Spending $$ on tailoring, or taking the time to find the proper size or the brands that fit you best, is well worth it.


This is something I’d love to know also, how do you make the oversized sweater or blazer look nice? I feel like people either hit or miss in this season. But others completely nail an untucked oversized sweater or cardigan.



The people nailing an oversized anything are not busty.

Very true as well.




This. And let’s face it: being young is a huge boost.

mostly basic colors. add minimal number of nice accessories (shoes, purse, jewelry) for polish. expensive designer clothes nowadays also fall apart.

It's all about the fabrics.

I've bought pants and dresses on clearance at Nordstrom, added a credit I had, and paid $20 for them, then paid for tailoring. Now they look expensive.

Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean that it has to look cheap. Stay away from synthetic material and Look for 100% cotton, wool etc. It makes the difference.


Also pattern and colors matter. The more neutral…the more classic and high end it will look.

I’ve seen people make Zara or H&M items or JCPenney look like they spent hundreds and the item is a $30 blazer or sweater.
