5. Look Like a Million Without Breaking the Bank


Sure, celebrities 1 like Jennifer Aniston and Uma Thurman always look chic 2 and stylish 3 -- they also have unlimited 4 clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can still look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobe. Simply try these 10 tricks:


1. Shop seasonal 5 sales. Make seasonal purchases -- winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, even summer dresses -- at the end of the season. You'll get major discounts, and you'll be stocked up for next year.


2. Watch your fabrics 6. Stick to machine-washable materials, and pick dry-clean-only garments carefully.


3. Invest in wear-with-anything pieces. A great-fitting pair of black trousers and a knee-length skirt go the distance, since you can wear them several times a week, paired with different tops.


4. Check out discount stores for basics. Discount department stores may not be the place to buy an elegant evening dress, but they're perfect for snapping up t-shirts, basic stretch pants, and cotton undergarments.


5. Bump up your accessories. Spend your money on beautiful shoes and a great bag. Rich-looking extras make even the simplest outfit 7 look polished.


6. Take inventory 8 before you shop. Impulse buys can be a waste of money -- especially if you splurge on a pair of black pants, only to see your ten other pairs when you get home. Assess your needs before you hit the stores so you won't buy pieces similar to those you already have.


7. Find a great tailor. For pieces that don't quite fit right, a tailor is an asset: He can alter them to fit you perfectly 9. Great-fitting clothes always look better than ill-fitting ones -- regardless of how much they cost.


8. Look for store labels. Many department stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, have a house clothing brand. They offer up-to-the-minute styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.


9. Get a great haircut. When your hair looks fabulous 10, you look more stylish and fashion-forward than when your cut is shaggy or growing out.


10. Stay away from "outfits 11." They look too contrived 12 -- and buying separates is much more affordable 13. The only outfit exception: A well-cut suit.
