How to Dress Like a Rich Person

If you learn how to dress like a rich person, you may find some doors open more easily for you as people assume you are well off. In the Great Depression, people dressed well to hide their poverty. With the onset of the deepest economic downturn since then, this may be back in fashion. As people become less wealthy, they will try to hide their misfortune with their personal appearance and learn how to dress like a rich person no matter their circumstances.

Things You'll Need

• Quality clothing
• Excellent Accessories
• Impeccable grooming
• Upscale footwear

Instructions

1. 

   Obtain a minimum of several pieces of quality clothing in perfect condition. This may mean buying new, but you can do so on a budget. Look for upscale department store sales and fashion basement bargains. The key is to find at least several shirts and two bottoms, one pants and one skirt for ladies, that can be mixed and matched to create many different outfits.

2. Pick items made from quality materials, including silk, wool, cotton, linen, cashmere and angora. Avoid polyester blends and man-made materials that are cheaper in look and feel. Read content labels and get to know what quality clothing looks like. Don't be fooled by high-cost, cheap-material clothes.

3. 

   Accessorize your outfits with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, handbags and sunglasses. (Speaking to the ladies here.)Attention to these details is important and can change your whole look. Again, look for stylish, impressive-looking pieces, although here you will have to be less picky about materials due to cost. Still, one good handbag, well maintained, is better than several cheap ones.

4. Maintain impeccable grooming. Teeth, nails, hair, skin must all be kept as perfect as possible. Whiten teeth, maintain manicured hands, keep you hair cut stylishly and use good skin cream. Make up for women, tastefully done with quality lipstick, is a must.

5. 

   Choose quality footwear. Well-made shoes, preferably from leather or other quality materials, are crucial for completing your look as you dress like a rich person.

6. 

   Lose weight and stay trim to dress like a rich person. Fair or not, obesity is associated with lower socioeconomic status, and your overall look will determine whether you look rich or not. Slender women and fit men will be able to achieve this look with greater ease.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that appearances are not everything. Learn how to dress like a rich person, but never forget that virtue is worth more than gold and will do you far more good in the end than any outfit will.
