Looking wealthy might help you gain confidence during the job interview or your first date. It is about presenting yourself as a rich snob, but rather as someone who knows how to work with what you got.

Here are simple rules that many find helpful if they want to look rich while on a budget.

Fake fur, not labels

In the sea of fake Louis Vuitton or Chanel bags, the worst thing you can do is buy one and pretend it's a real deal. Keep people guessing instead of covering yourself with fake logos, and get a no-name purse that will suit your style and needs. 

Find your signature look 

Style is the key to looking more wealthy regardless of your earnings. If everyone wore the same  2000 dollars shoes and 5000 dollars suits, what would make a person stand out? Their posture, how they mix and match pieces, how they talk, and their sense of style.

Learn your sales

Sales are a perfect way to waste your money. Instead of aiming for what is shiny but useless, use sales by taking a list of staples with you.

Stay away from logomania

While we're talking about brands, there is an ongoing logomania trend. Just because celebrities wear it, it does not mean it is cool. In fact, genuinely wealthy and educated people refuse to wear logos as they appear tacky and classless.

Keep your clothes and accessories clean

If there is one that turns people off is a wrinkled blouse or white shirt that turned to off white. Always keep your clothes neat, and if you notice a stain, you have to learn to be crafty.

Create something out of nothing

Before throwing away a stained dress, try adding some embroidery. You can always create a unique piece that will make you look artsy, which is always a sign of individuality.

Explore vintage and local designers' shops

Trends come and go, but a tweed jacket or tall boots are forever. Make a list of classics, and go hunting for these items in vintage, second-hand shops, and local designers. With labels out of the way, you can score some fantastic pieces without breaking the bank.

Find your color palette

What stands out the most is choosing the right shades that will work for your skin tone. The right shade and fit are a massive part of looking rich while on a budget.

Take inspiration from the pre-fast fashion era

Before fast fashion took over, looking wealthy equaled looking stylish and knowing your best assets. Check out styles of Jackie Onasis, Twiggy, or Jane Birkin. All these ladies were affluent and influential, yet their different styles gave different vibes. Which ones speak to you? That is how you build your style.

Keep your skin glowy

Find out what works for your skin type, and stick to your beauty rituals. Healthy, glowing skin is another piece of the puzzle in discovering how to look filthy rich. If you cannot afford expensive products, try homemade remedies.

Make sure your hair is shiny

Apart from homemade masks to learning how to style your hair, it is essential to find a hairstyle that fits you and keep it neat. Not many can afford regular blowouts in this economy. If your hair is long and you cannot tame it, try wearing messy low buns, which are far more appealing than super-high ponytails.

Try all neutral look

Dip yourself in neutral shades of beige, cream, or grey from head to toe. It is an elegant statement that says you are too busy and important to follow trends.

Try color blocking

If going neutral is not your thing, try unexpected color combinations. Yellow with grey, bright red with baby blue, or green with purple have been popular for decades. You can also mix various shades of one color to create a rich, vibrant outfit, like dipping yourself in aqua, mint, emerald, and grass green shades.

Know your staples

Staples are the basics that can create a perfect outfit at any time. From cotton button-downs, and plain shirts, to the little black dress for all occasions, staples only appear dull. How you mix and match them is another story.

Go for timeless accessories

Black is the safest choice for bags and footwear. You can add a silky scarf to your all-black tote bag to make it stand out, but that's about it. The important thing is to keep everything polished and to know which pair of shoes goes with your silhouette and occasion.

Finish the layering with a fitted trench

The classic Burberry trench should serve as an inspiration. It is a cozy piece ideal for nights out and office hours, and no one will know whether it is from the latest collection or a second-hand shop. It is a staple appropriate for all ages.

Lean on timeless patterns

Polka dots, stripes, houndstooth, and often florals are the easiest ways to rock patterns. Pair a polka dot blouse with a classic little black blazer, or wear a simple olive V-neck shirt with a houndstooth blazer. It is instant chic.

Fitting is everything

If your suit does not fit like a glove, it does not matter if it is original Dior. A suit should look like it was made on you, so instead of spending money on a designer one, invest in a tailor, or if you are crafty, make adjustments yourself.

Keep your look immaculate

A watch, pair of earrings, or necklace should be enough to keep your outfit fresh and classy. You can add more during summer vacations, but overall, you should not over-accessorize since it usually only looks good on TV or Instagram posts.

Choose fabrics wisely

Apart from cotton and tweed, silk is one of the most luxurious underrated fabrics. Silk, like cashmere, creates a certain luxurious feeling, and it does not matter if you redesign an old dress or buy a labeled piece.

Reuse items in a different manner 

One item can serve multiple purposes. A long golden chain necklace can refresh a simple black dress. Similarly, a maxi skirt can be worn as a summer dress if you add a cute tweed or leather jacket over it. Looking expensive is about creating a certain charisma, being playful, and keeping things casually glamorous.

Makeup should reflect the overall styling

It would be best if you used only a handful of makeup products to get that rich-looking, polished look. The secret is to create a no-makeup makeup look with light contouring and a bit of mascara and eyeliner. Avoid colorful eyeshadows and too-pale or too-dark lipsticks.

Cover up in a feminine way

A bit of cleavage is not a crime, but you should avoid anything that reveals too much. An off-the-shoulder top is a fantastic example of an item looking classy and feminine but not trashy. Instead of mini, wear keen length skirts. Replace crop tops and low-waist skinny jeans with casual V-neck cotton shirts and regular mid-waist jeans.

Remember that vintage is cool

While buying vintage and especially second-hand was once found upon, now it shows that you are more than just a pretty face. Not only could it save money, but it is environmentally friendly.

You are worth more than any piece of clothing, so stand up tall and create your style while looking like billion dollars.
