Regardless of who you are or what tax bracket you're in, you can look rich. Seriously, it has nothing to do with actually having a lot of money; all it takes is embodying a certain unbothered attitude and exuding an aura of wealth and abundance.
While I'm not an expert on becoming rich, I can offer inspiration on how to dress like you are. To look rich and unbothered, all you need is an expensive-looking outfit, and to get the vibe right, you just have to nail a few key styling elements. Picture coordinating creams, cozy cashmere, and chunky jewelry—all signs of understated opulence. To better explain what I'm getting at, I curated this guide of expensive-looking outfits that emanate rich and unbothered energy. Ahead, you'll find some affordable shopping options so you can capture the elusive wealthy style without compromising your wallet.
