Q&A for How to Look Rich Without Being Rich (for Guys)

Wearing clothes that fit properly will go a long way in making them look more expensive. If your clothes don't already fit well, consider getting them tailored to your specific measurements.

Maybe you could get a new pair of glasses that look really preppy, like the classic rimmed ones. As for the beard, as long as it's well-groomed you should be fine.

You should wear a big puffer jacket, or a long cream coat if you can find one. Pair this with a nice cardigan.

You can't go wrong with a crisp white t-shirt, nice jeans, and a watch. (Bonus points for a fresh haircut and a black blazer.)

It can be hard but as long as you have at least one expensive looking accessory that people can always see, they will associate that with the rest of your outfit. It is a mind trick. So, if you can have an expensive watch, tie or blazer, for example, you can get away with the rest of your clothes being cheaper. Always wear neat shoes and if they are the type that needs polishing, then keep them well polished. Your grooming goes a long way to completing the picture, so always groom yourself well.

There are a few things you can do to make yourself look wealthy, even if you aren't. If you have shaggy, messy hair, you won't look rich to other people. Shop around in the local neighborhood or search online to find a good, inexpensive barber. A nice-looking haircut can make a big difference. Keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant by rubbing moisturizer into your face and body every day. One hallmark of being rich is having pearly white teeth. While you may not be able to afford to go to the dentist often enough to make your teeth look that white, you can use a teeth whitening kit. Look for one at your local pharmacy, supermarket, or online. Being well-groomed and hygienic are simple ways to make yourself look rich.

It's actually easier than you may think to dress like you're wealthy. Rich men tend to wear t-shirts that are solid colors, with no logos or writing on the front. The clothes you wear should be plain with minimal branding or other writing on them. It's also important that you dress smart and for the occasion. Only wear shorts to the beach or when shopping. Instead of always wearing T-shirts, try wearing men's plaid shirts over jeans or khakis. In more formal circumstances, wear a jacket over your shirt. Dress up in a dress suit once in a while. Go for the business, business casual or/and preppy look. Choosing the appropriate clothes and outfits will make you look like you have a good sense of fashion. Additionally, baggy clothes look sloppy and can make you look unkempt. Clothing that's too tight will be uncomfortable and won't look nice to other people. Choose well-fitting clothes that make it look like you shop at fancy, expensive stores.

One way is to behave like you're rich. Acting like you're rich can make people believe you are, even if you aren't. Confidence is key. The expression "fake it 'till you make it" is actually pretty good advice. Even if you don't feel confident, try to act like you are. Smile more when you talk to people, walk with your head held high, and make eye contact with other people. That doesn't mean you should be cocky or arrogant. Rich people tend to be nice to the people they meet throughout the day. If somebody holds a door open for you, thank them. Say "please" when you order food at a restaurant. If you're trying to move past somebody in a busy shop, say "excuse me." Manners will go a long way to getting other people to think you're rich.
