Recreate Your Favourite Celebrity’s Looks: How To Do It Without Breaking The Bank

When it comes to fashion more female celebrities get all the attention because when compared to their male counterparts, it’s evident that they do pay more attention to their on and off-duty outfits. But with style trailblazers such as Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski, international K-pop sensation BTS, and British actor Riz Ahmed inspiring more men to pay attention to their sartorial choices, it looks like we’ll be seeing the return of sharp and luxurious dressing among gentlemen all over the world. Replicating these celebrities’ respective styles can be costly, however, it’s possible to get their opulent looks for less. With a few styling tricks and smart shopping, you can look like a star without breaking the bank.

Know how a good suit should fit

Riz Ahmed has often been spotted rocking stylish suits, and if you want to take a cue from the “Venom” actor’s suit game, then you’ll need to know how a good jacket and trousers combo should fit. If you insist on getting the real thing you can buy an Armani, Paul Smith, or Tom Ford suit and get a proper fit in the shop. If the outfit is for a special occasion, then that warrants a special suit, so in this case, you can get the funds by borrowing a small amount of cash for a personal emergency. You can pay off the short term loan monthly as if you’re paying utility bills, or charge it via credit card. 

However, if you simply want to have a few good suits in your closet, then you can get pieces from Zara, Arket, or Topman and have them tailored to fit your body. The right fit is neither too tight nor too loose, and you should be able to sit comfortably even if the jacket is buttoned. Trousers should sit on the natural waist and side pockets should lay flat. During fittings or consultations with a tailor, it’s also important to bring the shoes that you plan to wear with the suit so your tailor can gauge how to taper and hem your trousers.

Upgrade your casual style with key pieces

The members of BTS are currently resting after years of nonstop touring and performing, but the septet regularly touch base with their fans on social media, so their fans, collectively called the ARMY, are always up to date on their latest looks. While RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook are always killing it with their onstage looks, their off-duty fashion prove to be equally covetable. Jin has often been spotted wearing Thom Browne sweaters, while Suga and RM seem to favour Fear of God t-shirts. Meanwhile, J-Hope has often flexed his love of accessories and would often wear his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch with a simple jean jacket and black ball cap.

You can make like the K-pop stars and upgrade your casual style with some key pieces. If you favour the jeans and sweater combo, adding headgear and sporty sneakers can elevate the look. Don’t be afraid to accessorize with bracelets (layer different kinds for a fresh look) and swap the backpack for a leather messenger bag. 

Upgrading your style doesn’t need to cost a lot. Try these tips to crib the hottest celebrities’ best looks, without damaging your budget. With the right pieces and some strategic styling, you’ll always look your best.
