Taking to TikTok, user AndreaFashionGalaxy tells high street shoppers just how to do it.
The star, who has over 135,000 followers, begins her clip wearing black jeans and a plain black t-shirt.
“Not all of us can afford Chanel or Dior,” she states. “So what do we do without spending thousands?”
Andrea’s hack is a simple one.
“I’m sure everyone has a black T-shirt and some black trousers,” she says. “I know it looks dark, but black is always classy.”
For those worried about the dark and dingy outfit being more like funeral attire, Andrea offers some reassurance.
“This is just the base of the pizza,” she exclaims. “We’re putting some yummy toppings on top.”
Finally, she comes to the hack we’re all seeking, and it all starts on Ebay.
“What I love to do is go on Ebay,” she reveals. “I type in ‘vintage cardigan’ then I sit down with a cup of tea and a cat in my lap and I scroll and scroll until I find something like…Vickie.”
Andrea presents the Ebay purchase that she’s nicknamed ‘Vickie’.
It’s a vintage woollen jacket featuring geometric black and white shapes and a bright red trim.
“The trick is to go for a bold pattern to knock people’s socks off,” she advises. “I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea but oh my God she looks interesting, you cannot deny that.
“Vickie has shoulder pads, which make cardigans look structurally interesting and hence more expensive looking.”
Andrea puts on her new cardigan and rolls up the sleeves before posing in front of the camera.
“I mean, she looks more than £10,” she gushes. “Now what you do is you pick any of the cardigan’s colours – this is the colour you choose for your shoes.”
Finally, Andrea pops on a pair of bright red stilettos and showcases her fake Chanel look.
“We don’t have to be rich to be pretty,” she states.
Andrea’s followers are thrilled with her fabulous hack, with one exclaiming: “This may be the greatest piece of fashion advice I’ve gotten in my entire life. Thank you so much!”
