Versace is an iconic brand that has become synonymous with luxury.
However, purchasing items from high-end brands like Versace can confuse those wanting to start thenew yearin style.
So how do you ensure you get the most value for your money?
Secondly, the fashion expert recommends avoiding pieces that have beenheavily faked.
“Sadly, counterfeiting will immediately decrease the value of your once beautiful item,” cautions Wood.
Lastly, purchase wardrobe staples.
Here’s a list of what’s worth your hard-earned cash and what’s not.
“This fragrance proves to have subtle notes while still appearing luxurious.
Luxury personal stylist Amanda Wood agrees, “This is a lovely scent,” says Wood.
“It has been around for over 10 years and smells like spring flowers”.
With a price tag of $5,250, this black jacket is not cheap but worth it.
Enter theLa Medusa leather belt, and this one is set to be the rockstar accessory in your wardrobe.
it’s possible for you to wear it with a dress or your favorite pair of pants.
Originally $475, another reason to purchase this belt is that it has been reduced to $332.
Today, this wardrobe staple is well-loved by royalKate Middleton,now known as Catherine Princess of Wales.
For $2,095, fashion expert Amanda wood says it’s safe to give this one a miss.
Fashion expert Jeffrey Ampratwum is also not a fan of this Versace piece.
“The floral pleated skirt is cut on the bias and may not pair well with any footwear.
Boot or shoes,” say Ampratwum.
That’s why Haukom recommendsVersace’s versatile frayed tweed blazer.
“The blazer is a beautiful houndstooth that is a classic print,” says Stylist Amanda Wood.
“The texture and houndstooth pattern make this feel more special and less corporate than a simple black blazer.
The big shoulders are a bonus,” she adds.
So when searching for that perfect winter coat, you want both stylish and comfortable.
AlthoughVersace’s spiked tweed long coatis a quality item, we love it.
However, the style is limiting and needs to be more classic to justify the $7,650 price tag.
“The coat portrays more of a goth look than it does of luxury,” he adds.
But how do you find the right one?
It has to match your personal style but also stand the test of time.
According to Fashion and lifestyle brand expert Lisa Haukom,Versace’s Virtus totefits the bill.
“It’s a gorgeous, classic, timeless tote for the price,” says Haukom.
Reduced from $925 to $462, these are not the most flattering jeans for most women.
“Sadly, these miss the mark with too much of a good thing wide leg and length.
Way too much fabric here to be practical.
Imagine how heavy they must be to walk in!”
These Versace jeans are unflattering if you are a curvy woman.
Fashion expert Jeffrey Ampratwum says the'90s vintage logo sunglassesfor $276 are worth the splurge.
“These vintage shades are to be paired with a vintage belt.
They are great quality and decent for their price!”
Meanwhile, luxury stylist Amanda Wood recommends Versace’s'90s vintage logo cat-eye glassesfor a fun vibe.
“The ’90s are very in.
Creative director Lisa Haukom recommends purchasing luxury accessories if you have a primarily classic wardrobe.
Although this $4,875 Versace piece is beautifully made with textured tweed and metallic accents.
That’s why creative director Lisa Haukom says you’re free to skip this Versace piece.
