This week I wanted to show you how good style doesn’t have to mean overspending. I’ve pulled together outfits that work for every budget, whether you’re keeping it low-key, happy to spend a little more, or ready to invest in forever pieces. Think of it as your shortcut to looking chic at any price point.
Below you’ll find seven outfits at different price points: £150, £250, two under £500, £1,000, £1,500 and the ultimate luxe look with no budget - so there is something for everyone! Keep reading for each featured look, along with links and prices.
A striped cardigan (£19.99) instantly adds personality to simple denim - here paired with easy barrel-leg jeans (£32.30) for a relaxed, modern fit. The black trench (£46.75) sharpens things up, while black loafers (£28.05) and a slim leather belt (£17) keep the look grounded. It’s the kind of outfit you can throw on without thinking, but still look like you’ve got it all together.

For those in-between days, a belted trench (£66.75) is your best friend. Layer it over a wool tank top (£35) and crisp tapered jeans (£87) for a smart yet relaxed silhouette. Slip into brown loafers (£29.99) for an easy nod to classic styling, then tie it all together with a simple leather belt (£17). It’s one of those outfits that just works - brunch, errands, or a casual Friday at the office.
