Having your style says a lot about your personality. Even without saying a word, others can easily tell if you have the guts or do not mind what you wear. Admit it! It’s human nature to be judgmental at times without knowing someone deeply. And the reality is those who are known to be rich actually get more privileges than those who don’t. It is because the word rich is associated with power and success, nowadays. And who doesn’t want to be treated with respect and dignity? I bet we all want to. The good news is that you don’t have to have a fat bank account to look rich and decent. You just need to have these things in mind and enjoy looking rich on a limited budget! Yes, you read it right so read more!
Tailor your clothes.
Well-fitted clothes are a sign of wealth and elegance. Seldom would you find clothes that fit perfectly to you unless it’s made specifically for you? But with a good tailor, there’s no need to throw out clothing that’s a bit big on you. Plus you can take advantage of items on sale from thrift shops and department stores even when what you want doesn’t quite fit. With a little tweak and repair, your low-budget clothes will surely look as if it was made only for you- something that rich people often do.
Quality vs quantity.
When buying clothes, focus on quality, versatile items you can mix and match to maximize the number of outfits you can create from them. Quality clothing fits better, looks better, and lasts longer. You also need to check on the fabric or material the clothes were made. Some materials that look cheap and don’t provide good fit examples are polyester, nylon, and waffle. It is better to invest in little expensive clothes that you can use for years rather than buying cheap, poor-quality items. Or you can spend buying a few branded items, then mix and match it with a variety of cheaper clothes to make different outfits that look rich.
Take care of your clothes.
Make sure your clothes are always well-pressed and clean. It is important to have clothes that look good and are well-kept. Remember to wash clothes according to the directions included on their tag and use color-safe washing powder to keep the clothing’s colors rich. Iron your clothes carefully at the right temperature as if someone did it for you. Because rich people don’t wear crumpled clothes with all the help they can pay for, well-pressed clothes are just a small thing.
Avoid logos.
Avoid wearing clothes with big logos because too much branding looks cheap, not classy. High-end clothing doesn’t need logos to speak for the brand; its quality speaks for itself. Plus others will look at how you carry the clothes with style and confidence, not with its brand.
Walk-in a good pair of shoes.
As the saying goes, good shoes can take you to good places so better spend some money on them. It doesn’t only make your whole outfit but also wearing the right shoes can make you feel great with a little boost of confidence that it brings. Acquire at least one pair of really decent well-made shoes, and some other value options for heavier use and keep it clean at all times. Invest in a shoe cleaning kit and never leave the house with dirty shoes.
Go for simple yet trendy accessories.
A few pieces of stylish accessories can give your look rich and elegant. Wearing a piece of statement accessory is a quick way to look fancy but it is also tricky to pick one that doesn’t look cheap. If you can’t afford the real thing, keep it classic. Go for a simple watch with a basic black leather strap, or opt for belts, scarves, shawls to accentuate your style, making them an excellent way to save and be elegant at the same time.
Go for bags and wallets with simple designs. Even if it is not authentic, be sure to check for the right material. Because just like with clothes some bag materials look cheap and out of style. Leather-made wallets and bags are always the best because of their endurance and elegance.
Take care of yourself physically.
Beauty always comes first. Having smooth skin nowadays is a status symbol so you better make sure that your skin is soft and well-moisturized. Having good skin also requires you to put on less make-up. Having your nails perfectly manicured at all times is also a must or at least keep it always neat and clean. Exercise and maintain a good figure. Keep your hair nice, silky, and smooth. Get a haircut that would suit your face. And if you’re going to color it, avoid bright and unnatural hair colors. Keep in mind that you should always look as classy as possible.
Smell rich.
The smell of being rich is usually accompanied by soft, clean, and floral notes. Just be careful not to overspray.
And now you got it! This is your first step to success and being rich. With these ideas and tips for sure, you’ll get the attention that you want when you step out of the house.
