Ah, money! A current and sometimes sensitive subject. We all wanna be rich, don’t we? We work hard and try our best to have the greatest possible life we deserve. We make money, we spend money.
BUT! You can be super crazy rich and still look cheap. How’s that you say? Well, the way you dress and act is one part of it.
On the other hand, you surely know some people that don’t have so much money, but still look like a million bucks, and you feel great around them, because of the rich vibe they send out.
The truth is, looking high end or low end, really boils down to some small, subtle differences.
Let’s go through 8 stylish ways to look expensive, even if you’re not a millionaire 😉
1st way to look rich : *Focus on the fabric
Cheap fabrics – suits, shirts – they look cheap because it hangs and falls differently on your body. The nicer fabric it’s gonna be thinner, it’s gonna fall on your body better, making you look more amazing.
Of course, one of the downsides of wearing nicer fabric is that it is more expensive.
Solution: Go half! And what we mean by that is, buy half as many items as you normally would, but spend twice as much on the individual item.
Meaning, instead of buying two pairs of jeans that each cost 30$, buy one pair of 60$ but are higher quality.
2nd way to look rich: *Upgrade your snickers
There’s nothing wrong with a casual pair of grey snickers. But you can definitely look a little more high end if you upgrade your casual snickers to something that’s leather.
Rocking a pair of leather snickers just makes you look a little more upper class and put together, than somebody wearing just casual kicks.
3rd way to look rich: *Wear a watch
There’s no easier way to elevate your style, your class, and you look like when you’re wearing an incredible watch.
Watches are classy and stylish accessories, and there are so many options to choose from, each of them affordable and matching your regular style.
A nice, elegant watch just sends the message that you are reliable, confident, and… sexy 😉
4th way to look rich : *Stop wearing brand names
…on your clothes. Like “if I’m not wearing the logo, how will anybody know I can afford a Gucci or whatever?” No. That will have the exact opposite effect and will NOT make you look rich. Brand names don’t mean anything in terms of making you look more expensive or more prestigious.
That sounds kinda counter-intuitive, but there’s a lot of fake merchandise out there. There’s also a trend of people spending way too much money on super expensive brand name items, and that’s just financial waste.
You’ll look higher end when you wear something clean and classic, and fits you perfectly, as opposed to wearing some crazy name-brand all across their chest, on a t-shirt.
5th way to look rich: *Get a better bag
If you are a more sporty kinda person, backpacks are functional, and the best choice when you have an outdoor activity, and you need to carry some stuff, other than wallet and keys.
But if you wanna look rich even when you have your sport on, you can change the backpack on a leather computer bag.
A leather computer bag is a great way to take your look to the next level! You’ll look more professional and still have the space you need to carry anything. These bags come in many shapes and sizes, they are affordable. And the great things is, the more you use it and rough and rugged it looks, the more stylish it becomes.
Tip: Always choose a black computer bag. It’s a classic.
6th way to look rich: *Always have a leather jacket in your wardrobe
Speaking of leather, a leather jacket automatically takes you to the top!
The leather jacket will make you look rich, and it’s also a great piece to layer with. And so, you can incorporate other items like a t-shirt and layering is one of those things that make you look more lux.
The downside is that the leather jackets aren’t cheap. BUT you can pay extra on a great looking one which you know will stay with you and always be a classic for a long time.
Tip: You can find great and affordable leather jackets on sale 😉 watch out online for sales, and you can get something cheaper off-season.
7th way to look rich: *Wear glasses
Glasses are one of those easiest things that you can add or accessorize with that is gonna set yourself apart from everybody else.
And a cool pair of frames definitely makes you look more high end and rich. The beautiful thing is that they don’t have to be super expensive to look great and lux.

8th way to look rich : *Pay attention to details
Yes, prioritizing details definitely makes sense on the whole idea of looking rich. For men and women alike, the idea is to carefully choose every piece of clothing and accessory you wear. From your ties, watches, cufflinks to your shoes, earring, purses.
Everything needs to fit like a glove. Also, the color combination is important.
You should make sure colors match, and you don’t look like a peacock ☺ Certain colors project maturity. Take some time to study what colors suit you, and it will make a huge difference next time you put an outfit on.
