My Friend Says I Look *So Rich* When I Wear an Outfit With These 5 Key Pieces

Let's be honest: Most of us seem to be seeking out looks that scream wealth without breaking the bank. Unsurprisingly, the obsession with all things quiet luxury is still going strong, no matter how many times we've heard the now-ubiquitous term. There is nothing like the confidence boost you get when you are wearing a great outfit that gives off a rich vibe (or the boost you get from all the compliments when you are out and about in one of these looks).
I have noticed that when I wear certain pieces, friends start doling out comments like, "You look so rich in that," or something to that effect. Any time this happens, I make sure I take a mental note of the key part of the outfit so I can replicate the vibe in the future. As of late, this has looked like everything from trendy scarf coats to camel-hued classics. Scroll on to check out five key pieces guaranteed to give any outfit an instant rich-looking feel.

Camel-Hued Pieces
