Ever wonder what makes certain outfits look expensive and luxurious? Along with the type of fabrics that play a big role in whether or not something looks expensive, the color combinations can have a huge effect as well. Case in point, look number one featured in this post is an amazing olive green dress but because it’s a neutral color made of wrinkle-free material you would never know it’s UNDER $40! So if you’re wondering how to make all of your outfits look expensive (even if they’re not) then keep scrolling for 5 of the most luxe-looking color combinations guaranteed to elevate all of your looks this season.

OLIVE GREEN AND IVORY:
The first on my list of 5 expensive looking color combinations is sage green combined with ivory. I love this mix of natural earth tones because they always look more lux than bright bold colors. This dress is so chic and versatile and it’s also a fantastic value with a price tag under $40! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.
UNDER $100 IVORY JACKET:
This cotton blend jacket has been one of my go-to summer jackets and it’s easy to see why! It checks all the boxes; Lightweight material, neutral color, and an on-trend cropped length. Throw in the fact that it’s under $100 and you’ve got the perfect summer jacket! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.

CAMEL AND IVORY:
Next on my list of expensive looking color combinations is camel & ivory. I wear this sophisticated & fresh color combination all the time and it definetly looks high end. I own these skyscraper jeans in like 5 different washes and as soon as I saw this tan wash I knew I would get a ton of wear out of them. The shade is perfect for summer and if you aren’t a fan of distressing on your jeans, these are a fabulous option. I’m wearing a size 0 regular in this pair of summer denim that’s part of this luxurious color combination.
IVORY FAUX LEATHER BLAZER:
This cropped leather blazer is so perfect for summer, it’s unbelievable! The color is the perfect shade of ivory IMO and I love the trending cropped length. The padded shoulders are another design element I’m seeing a lot of and I have to say I’m a fan! Obviously a far cry from what was popular in the 80s but I love what the modern version can do for your silhouette. I’m wearing an XS in this buttery soft faux ivory leather blazer.

ALL WHITE:
Another expensive looking color combination is all white! I don’t know about you but I think an all-white look is modern, fresh and definitely appears luxe. I wear all white all the time (even in the winter) and the key is to mix shades of white for a monochrome, but still interesting aesthetic. This Veronica Beard linen vest is a perfect example of how you can combine a pair of stark white pants with an off white vest and it just works! I’m wearing an XS in the vest and find it fits true to size.
VERONICA BEARD JEANS:
I’ve always said that white denim is fresh, modern, and incredibly chic so if you’re in the market take a look at these Veronica Beard jeans! Not only are they incrediably slimming with a leg-lengthening flare silhouette but they’re super comfortable as well. The fit is impeccable and the white denim is thick enough to hide any challenge areas you may have. I can’t think of much else you need in a good pair of white denim! I’m wearing a size 24 in these high-waisted Veronica Beard white jeans.

CAMEL AND BLACK:
This is the most expensive looking color combo of them all! Camel and black will always look expensive and always look luxurious. This is one of my most worn combinations because it makes me feel chic & sophisticated. This camel blazer is made of silk which absolutely takes it to the next level. It’s currently on sale and you can get a further 20% off with code HEATHER20! I’m wearing a size 2 in this gorgeous silk blazer.
THE MOST VERSATILE BLACK DRESS:
I honestly don’t think you can ever have too many little black dresses in your closet, and this one from Norma Kamali is by far one of my favorites. The stretch fit is super comfortable and with a LBD the style possibilities are endless! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.
SHOP LOOK 5:
JACKET XS // BODYSUIT XS // GRAY JEANS 24 // SANDALS // SIMILAR HANDBAG
GRAY AND CAMEL:
The last expensive looking color combination on my list is a bit unique. Gray and camel isn’t a typical color combination but I saw it a few times and once I tried it for myself I was hooked. Just remember, when in doubt, pairing neutrals is always expensive looking! This camel jacket from Nordstrom is a perfect example of a clothing item that looks very pricey but it’s really under $100. Wrinkle-free material and luxe colors can go a long way. I’m wearing an XS in this chic & affordable summer jacket.
GRAY JEANS (UNDER $100):
These jeans from Abercrombie & Fitch are my latest favorite pair of denim! They’re super high-waisted, which I absolutely love, and they come in 12 different washes. This grey wash spoke to me the most but don’t be surprised if you see me wearing these jeans in several different colors in the near future. I’m wearing a size 00 regular in these amazing jeans.
