More context may be needed for better wording. Davidさんのおっしゃる方向で間違いありませんが、さらに適切な日本語の表現をさがしていらっしゃるのならもうちょっと前後の脈絡があるとよいと思います。翻訳と日本語表現の差、このKudozの境界線をどこで引くか、難しいところです。お仕事の期限もあるでしょうし、すでにご自分で表現を考えて解決されていれば問題ないですけれど。

Selected

よりスタイリッシュに見せる

Up the style stakes is a very commonly-used throwaway phrase in fashion journalism I would interpret as an item of clothing or design used/made/worn in an effort to look fashionable.

E.g. This dress ups the style stakes with it's lower cut and intricate lacework.
