How to Dress Like You're a Millionaire

A gentle PSA for those who need reminding: You don't actually need to be a millionaire to dress like one. Embodying the current stealth wealth craze—or as T&C likes to call it, the low key rich bitch—all comes down to minimalism and pieces that scream "old money." That means dressing in timeless classics like white button downs and borrowed-from-the-boys loafers, opting for neutral colors and monochrome outfits, and most importantly, wearing quiet luxury items (aka no logos!).

To help you nail down the expensive look, here are 9 tips for dressing the part along with our favorite pieces for every budget.

Reach for the basics.

The key to dressing rich comes down to the basics—and by that we mean investing in one or two (or like, eight) high-quality white button downs. The crisp cotton style is a wardrobe workhorse and can be styled in virtually every way possible. Wear the top with tailored trousers and heels to the office or dress it down in a good pair of jeans—the beauty here is there's no wrong way to wear it.

Dark denim is always "do."

Speaking of a good pair of jeans, denim is a non-negotiable in an expensive-looking wardrobe. As a rule of thumb: the darker the wash, the more sleek your denim looks. It's also important to keep the material and silhouette in mind. Select for rigid fits that maintain their shape after each wear and sweet-spot styles, such as straight jeans since they're neither too baggy nor too constricting.

Layer your look with a timeless topper.

No LKRB outfit is complete without a good topper. Think: a classy cardigan jacket, a versatile blazer, a camel coat, a tweed jacket. Each of these staples are timeless and will always do the trick at elevating your look.

---

Slip into status staple shoes.

Embrace status staple shoe styles like horsebit loafers, ballet flats, and minimalist mules. You know... the kind of styles you'll wear for years to come.

---

When in doubt, wear neutral tones.

Everything about the LKRB trend screams minimalism. Opt for neutral hues (like blacks, navy, white, and beige), pair them all together into a monochrome look, and then you're good to go.

Drape yourself in timeless jewels.

Don't be afraid to put your jewels front and center. From simple pearl earrings to a timeless Cartier watch to a chunky gold statement necklace, this kind of jewelry ups the ante.

---

Logo is a no go when it comes to purses.

If you want to nail down the LKRB look, we'd recommend splurging on an investment bag—but steer clear of gaudy options with loud insignias and logos. The Row, Celine, and Loro Piana are just a few of the designers you can rely on for polished, pared-down pieces that will stand the test of time.

Sunglasses are always a power move.

When it comes to sunglasses, make like a Kennedy lady. Wear oversized tortoiseshell eyewear à la Jackie , or go the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy route with '90s-esque oval shades.

Don't forget the hair accessories.

The perfect finishing touch to any low key rich bitch outfit? Hair accessories, of course. Oversized bows and barrettes are no-brainers, but a Blair Waldorf-inspired headband is equally as chic.
