Be a savvy shopper and still look like a million dollars!?!

There’s nothing worse than serving someone the finest Cristal champagne when they can’t tell the difference between champagne and Asti Spumante!?! On the other hand, it would be fantastic if you could plate up a cheap spaghetti Bolognese and fool all your guests into thinking it was a gourmet meal!?! Well the same rules can be applied to your wardrobe (sort of!?!) Pay more for the items that people will see and cut back on the items that can be hidden - like your socks.

Although it can prove difficult to successfully achieve the right balance between cheap and chic – it can be done if you know what to look for!?! So read on to discover our top 5 tips on how to create a champagne look on a cava budget!?!?

1. More and more shirts are now being designed with cufflink holes instead of buttons, offering a great opportunity to add a little touch of your own personality to your outfit. It’s the little details that count the most and few other items of clothing can add so much instant class and polish to your look, so it’s always worth splashing the cash on a quality set of cufflinks.

2. This season promises to be a year when coats will shine in a variety of styles and shapes. A stylish coat is a real fashion essential as its one of the first things people will see when you walk through a door. Splurging on one quality coat or jacket for the winter is always worthwhile as it will be worn almost daily and can make less expensive clothes look better designed!!?

3. If you invest in one good quality classic cut suit then it will last you for the next decade at least. Always choose a dark colour and it will see you through every kind of social or work engagement in style, while the overall look of the suit can easily be changed by adding a different shirt or tie as required.

4. Spend wisely on your accessories and they can be a fantastic wardrobe staple. A well chosen quality belt, watch or wallet will last you for years and will help to smarten up your look in an instant.

5. Since your wardrobe probably only requires one or two pairs of ultra cool jeans, make sure you choose your designer denim carefully. Stick to darker washes without too many flashy details and your investment will reap dividends and compliments for years to come.
