WHETHER you’re just starting a new job or have an important interview on the horizon, looking the part can make all the difference.
But smartening up and making a good impression doesn’t have to be expensive. Here’s how to achieve top looks for less . . .

QUALITY CLOTH: When picking an outfit, opt for high-quality materials such as cotton and wool, as opposed to shiny polyesters and thin jersey materials where possible.
Buying second-hand is a great way to get these items for less, though it can be more difficult to get your exact size.
However, if you buy slightly larger trousers, skirts and jackets, it’s easy to get the hems taken up.
An outfit that fits you well boosts your confidence, making sure you look and feel your best.

BACK TO BASICS: If you need to be up and out early, plan what you’re going to wear and lay it out the day before.
Make sure your outfit is clean and ready for action, and check for any marks, stains or little holes that could leave you looking less than pristine.
Cut any loose threads and use a lint roller to remove dust, dirt or hair.
Then, carefully iron it so your outfit is crease and wrinkle-free. Ironing inside out can help prevent shiny marks on material.
