A stylish look doesn't necessarily require a big budget. Basic pieces and well-chosen accessories can truly transform any outfit into something modern and high-end. Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk shared tips on how to achieve this.
Build your base
A basic wardrobe is the foundation of any stylish outfit. A simple white sweater, trench coat, classic jeans, or pencil skirt can look completely different depending on how they are styled.
It's important to pick high-quality pieces in neutral colors, as they go well together and work for any occasion.

Accessories rule
The simplest way to update an outfit or make it look more polished is to add accessories. Even a budget sweater can appear more refined when paired with a quality scarf, earrings, or a belt with an eye-catching buckle.

The stylist recommends having a few versatile accessories in your collection: gold hoop earrings, a medium-sized structured bag, a belt with a metal buckle, and stylish sunglasses.
These pieces are easy to mix and match with any outfit, while looking modern and elegant.

Mix textures, match colors
Another secret to a stylish look without spending much is experimenting with textures. Combining different materials, such as a knitted sweater with smooth faux leather or denim with silk, creates depth and a carefully thought-out appearance.

Monochrome is a great choice if you want to look elegant. You can mix different textures even within a single color. This makes the look more interesting and luxurious.
It's also worth experimenting with color: beige, cream, caramel, and graphite shades look understated yet stylish. A single standout piece, like a red bag or a colorful beret, can liven up even the simplest look.

Less is more
Minimalism continues to be in trend. It's not only practical but also economical: instead of seasonal purchases, it's better to invest in a few timeless pieces.
A quality trench coat, good quality jeans, a white shirt, and black boots are enough to look stylish every day. Accessories then complete the look.

Style is not defined by brands or the price of items. It starts with a sense of proportion, harmony, and the ability to highlight your individuality.
The right basics, carefully chosen accessories, and the skill to experiment with colors form the formula for looking high-end even without expensive purchases.
