If you want to look classy without spending a lot. So you should try on basic outfits.

Making your wardrobe first is the key. Why, because classy doesn’t mean you’ll need dozens of clothes. Classy wardrobes are easy to make. And by the time you can expand your clothes.
As I mentioned earlier, if you just started building your wardrobe. Let me tell you what you should focus on first.

Suits are the most classic piece that you should own. But when you buy a suit remember these points.

A $20 well-fitted suit looks better than an expensive $2000 suit.
Fitting is everything in a suit. And stay away from trends when buying a suit. Suit is worth the investment, that’s why, don’t waste your money on trends.
