How to make your outfit look expensive

• For classy: Black satin dress, white leather sneakers, gold jewelry and a small clutch.
• For glam: Silver or gold sequin dress with matching metallic sneakers.
• For a bold entrance: Emerald, burgundy or royal-blue gown with coordinated sneakers.
• For a modern look: A fitted midi dress with platform sneakers and statement earrings.

A useful styling rule is to balance the dress and shoes: if your dress sparkles, keep the sneakers relatively simple. Make sure the hem also clears the floor when you walk.neostylers.com
