The key to looking genuinely wealthy lies in avoiding all things trashy, bling and tasteless. In order to do Paris Hilton and Britney Spears-style trailer-chic, it’s actually necessary to spend quite a lot of money. Avoid jerseylicious-inspired tight-and-bright combinations and opt instead for quality fabrics and classic cuts.

Natural Fibres

Ladies, avoid nylon and all its various offspring like the plague. Dressing like a wealthy person is all about the natural fibres. Linen, wool, pure cotton and cashmere: these are your friends. To find quality fabrics at low prices, shop off season and keep your eyes open for sales.

3

Don’t Fake It

People are often tempted to buy counterfeit designer handbags, accessories and clothes, and to buy plastic pleather products instead of ones made of real leather. Girls, no matter how convincing you think your fake purchase is, trust me, it’s obviously not. You don’t need to wear labels to look chic, but it is important to go for items that are well-made and authentic.

4

Good Grooming

The wealthy are invariably professionally groomed. While all over maintenance is costly, a lot of it is perfectly manageable in the home environment. Ensure that key features like eyebrows and nails are treated by your beautician once every few months and between visits to the salon, attend to matters yourself taking care to follow the professional’s blueprint very carefully.

5

Tailor Made

Fit is key to looking well put together. To emulate chic designer items that are moulded to the bodies of their wearers, take your simple, good quality shirts and trousers to a local tailor to be personalized. This won’t set you back too much and it will add tons of class to your look.

Well cut hair is important to looking chic. In order to manage your tresses on a budget, get a good cut to begin with and then have a cheaper hairdresser do your trims. Ask him or her to follow the original style very closely – this will save you money but keep your hair in great shape.

Really good tips actually, I like them.

Looks can be very deceiving!! I have seen people who are not rich, yet decking themselves out in items they could not really afford, just to impress someone. Then on the other hand, others who can afford so much more, stay down to earth and blend in with the rest, unless they are around the same type of rich folks as themselves, then they dress up accordingly. In my opinion, MONEY CAN NOT BUY CLASS! To me, the inside of a person speak louder than the outside. What do you think?

Agreed. You actually have to have money in the first place to accomplish these to a degree to create the impression of wealth. Some good tips but others might be out of reach of an average purse.

oh, some people really does look wealthy but doesnt have a penny on them
