Tips for achieving celebrity style on a budget

1. Strength of styling

Dressing well is about understanding how different clothes work together to create a cohesive look. Knowing how to combine the right colors and textures can make your outfit stand out. Investing in neutral colors like black, navy, white, and camel often conveys sophistication and luxury. Celebrities tend to gravitate towards fits that exude both comfort and effortless style, and these are things you can incorporate into your own wardrobe.

Consider investing in timeless pieces like a timeless black dress, a white or baby blue shirt, fitted denim, and a dark patterned skirt. Team them with a versatile jacket or trench coat. To complete the look, pair it with sneakers for a casual vibe or heels for a polished look. These pieces are elegant and on-trend, while offering endless styling possibilities for a variety of occasions.

2. Get the right fit

Celebrities understand the importance of wearing clothes that fit perfectly. They not only flatter your figure, but they also accentuate your features and make you look more polished. If you have clothes that don't fit you well, consider having them altered to make them fit better.

3. Play with ratios

Celebrities also pay close attention to their body shape to achieve a stylish look. Pay attention to your body shape and what flatters it. Celebrities with pear-shaped bodies like Janhvi Kapoor tend to wear clothes that are wider at the bottom than at the top and accentuate their waists.

Someone with a pear-shaped body like Mrunal Thakur will wear fitted clothes that draw attention to their shoulders and away from their hips. Celebrities like Deepika Padukone who has a rectangular body type tend to wear pieces that cinch the waist and add volume to both the bust and hips. The key is to figure out what suits you and dress accordingly.

4. Accentuate with accessories

It is equally important to invest in your choice of accessories such as a necklace, belt, earrings, watch, scarf, bag, sunglasses, etc. Pairing a strapless black dress with a necklace or choker, large earrings and black heels will give you a more formal look, while sunglasses and a scarf will give you a more casual look. However, be careful not to overwhelm your outfit with too many accessories.

5. Follow through with confidence

Copying a celebrity's style isn't just about what they wear. It's about how they carry themselves. They're comfortable with their bodies and how they dress, and they express that confidence through their clothing. Be yourself and let everyone see who you are through what you wear. You are the star of your own show, so wear clothes that make you feel great.
