Tips On How to Mix High and Low-End Fashion

• Mix luxe with less. This means mixing luxury items with less priced pieces to great a balance. Mixing high and low end is really easy to do. One of the rules I go by it one or two high end pieces with more low end items. If you are incorporating two high end fashion pieces, both items should not be overwhelming. Why you may ask? Because if the look is not put together well, it will look tacky and try-hard. Today’s look a good example of mixing high and low-end fashion effortlessly. I am wearing a this amazing dress under $100 mixed with Chanel bag and Hermes flat sandals. The Chanel bag is bold, while the flats complement the look with being overbearing. Again, the trick is balance
• Mixing a luxury item with low end fashion items. Pick one dominate luxury item and style it with lower priced items. For example, you can pair luxury blouse with moderate to lower priced bottom, shoes and accessories. In this case the bold luxury blouse makes a statement, giving you the luxury look in an effortless way. Another way to mix high and low end fashion which is one of my go-to looks is wearing a plain white t-shirt from Walmart mixed with luxury blazer or coat while everything is on the lower priced point.
