Who says luxury has to come with a hefty price tag? In 2025, fashion is all about looking high-end without overspending — and accessories play a huge role in achieving that. With the right pieces, you can easily elevate your outfits and achieve a polished, luxurious look for less.
Whether you're styling a night-out outfit or adding flair to your everyday wardrobe, here’s how to build a designer-inspired style without blowing your budget.
1. Invest in High-Quality-Looking Jewelry
You don’t need real diamonds to shine. Opt for gold-plated or stainless steel jewelry with minimalist, timeless designs. Pieces like chunky gold hoops, dainty layered necklaces, and statement rings look luxurious — and many are under £30.

2. Go for Structured Handbags
Structured bags — think clean lines, minimal hardware, and neutral colours — always give off an expensive feel. Faux leather or vegan options have come a long way and can look just like designer pieces.
You can easily find high-end-looking handbags under £50, especially in our Bags Collection.
3. Add a Chic Watch
A watch instantly upgrades your outfit. Look for minimalist designs in gold, silver, or nude tones. Watches with leather straps or mesh bands add a refined touch — and many fall well under budget.
4. Stick to Neutral Palettes
Accessories in beige, black, tan, and soft greys not only match everything but also look more expensive. A neutral-toned belt or scarf can completely transform your look.
5. Use Hair Accessories Wisely
Pearl barrettes, silk scrunchies, and minimalist hair clips are subtle ways to add elegance to your style. These details may be small, but they enhance your overall look instantly — and cost less than £15.
6. Mix High & Low Smartly
The key to looking luxe is knowing how to mix high-quality basics with trendy, affordable accessories. A simple black blazer with statement earrings or a structured bag can rival any designer outfit.
Final Thoughts
Looking like luxury doesn’t mean spending like it. With a little strategy, you can achieve a sophisticated, high-end style on a budget using accessories that look and feel premium.
