Get The Look

Looking for style hacks? Keeping up with fashion trends can feel like chasing a moving target. Who has the time (or wallet) to rebuild their wardrobe every time a new craze hits? The good news? You don’t have to. The secret to staying sharp is timeless classics that never go out of style.

We recommend treating yourself to a few quality pieces from top brands. Think of them as the foundation of your style that stands firm, no matter how much the fashion winds blow.

From Armani Exchange to Vivienne Westwood, we’ve got loads of luxury options to elevate your wardrobe. But how do you strike that perfect balance of looking the part without maxing out your credit card? Here are some easy, practical ways to look expensive for less.

Pick One Statement Piece

Elevating your style starts with one bold move. Enter the statement piece. Whether it’s an eye-catching printed shirt, a killer jacket, or a standout pair of designer trainers, it’s all about adding the wow factor to your look.

Ditch the oversized graphic tees and aim for something more polished. Not into buttons? Even a block-colour T-shirt can look on point if it’s paired right. Think of a statement piece as your style’s focal point. It says you know what you’re doing. Invest in one item that grabs attention, but ensure it fits into your wardrobe.

Make Sure Your Shoes Are Clean

Want to ruin a great look in two seconds flat? Walk out of the door with dirty shoes. It might sound like a minor detail, but keeping your footwear spotless makes a world of difference. Muddy trainers or scuffed boots can make even the most carefully curated outfit look a bit… off.

Luxury is all about the details, and a clean, smart look tells the world you’ve got your act together. Pro tip? Keep a shoe-cleaning kit on hand and make a habit of checking your kicks before you head out.

Everything Needs to Fit Properly

You can wear the most expensive jacket in the world, but if it doesn’t fit? It won’t look right. The key? Know your size and have the confidence to wear fitted pieces. A slim-fit shirt will always look sharper than a baggy T-shirt, and proper fits flatter your body regardless of size. A perfect fit is the fastest shortcut to looking luxurious.

Choose Luxury Fabrics

When investing in luxury, material is everything. High-quality fabrics like cotton, linen, and wool not only feel better but also last longer. Cheap fabrics often hang awkwardly and can wear out more quickly. A well-cut cotton shirt, for example, can keep you cool, whatever the temperature.

Think of these pieces as investments. They may cost a bit more upfront, but their longevity and ability to instantly elevate your look make them worth every penny.

Don’t Forget the Accessories

Accessories are the secret weapon of a well-dressed individual. Without them, even a great outfit can feel incomplete. A matching watch, a pair of aviators, or a classic leather belt can take your outfit from “nice” to “next level.”

Well-chosen accessories don’t just complement your look; they show you’ve thought of everything. And that’s what we’re going for – effortless style with a touch of intention. Keep it minimal but impactful.

Your Wardrobe, Your Upgrade

Levelling up your style doesn’t have to mean throwing cash at every new trend. It’s about intentional choices, timeless pieces, and those little details that make a big impression. This isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and confident in the clothes that you wear.

When you’re ready to update your look and invest in pieces that last, we’ve got you covered. From head to toe, Mainline has everything you need to dress your best.
