    Health. Shiny hair, glowing skin, bright eyes, short nails, simple makeup. Structured pieces of clothing, clothes that fit your body well, nothing skimpy. Delicate jewellery, nothing gaudy and cheap. Posture. Manners. Gratitude.

    I'd add: clothes that fit! There's a little more (not as much as some people think but...) wiggle room for clothes that are a little loose if it looks like a "look." But if it's tight or bunchy, don't wear it. A well fitting $5 tee will always look better than a $500 ill fitting shirt.

    HI! I just subscribed. Another way to "look" expensive, is to be confident. Your clothes should always be clean, well cared for, and you yourself should always be well maintained. A good hairstyle, clean well manicured nails, subdued fragrance, and an air of confidence will serve anyone well. It's not about looking expensive, it's about feeling confident and holding yourself to your own expectations.

    You're a "soft" person (with your soft hazel/green eyes and mid-toned hair color) rather than a "bright" person (who has more contrast and looks better in bright saturated colors) so, those muted neutral colors will look good on you, but they will drain the life out of some people. A bright all-red outfit, for example, will look just as "expensive" on some people as a an all neutral outfit... Thinking specifically of Blair Eadie from Atlantic Pacific's gorgeous bright outfits that always look expensive. You just have to find the colors and tones that are best for your skin tone/eye color/hair color. A mauvy lip would look better on you than the red in the video, but I agree there's certainly a red shade that can work for almost anyone. Again, it's about the tones...more blue/pink for the cooler people and more orange or deeper shades for the warmer people. Everyone can look great if they find the right colors and tones, make sure clothes fit properly and are ironed or steamed, make sure hair and nails are neat and clean.

      Just had to let you know I love this comment, specifically because you mentioned Blair Eadie who is one of my fashion inspirations who I simply admire and can't emulate because her style is so colorful and unique. But she is absolutely my favorite style icon around right now.

    • @exintrovert6803
      @exintrovert6803 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Well put. I think it is important to emphasize that clothing choice doesn’t help if it doesn’t fit properly, clearly isn’t cared for, or is damaged. A luxury brand piece of clothing that doesn’t fit right could make it look like you snagged it from a thrift store.
      A person who shops at Wal-mart and actually hand washes and hang dries according to the label, and irons their clothes will usually look more elevated than any person who goes out in a luxury shirt that hasn’t been ironed or has shrunk in the dryer.
      There have been a few times I bought a beautiful shirt but forgot to separate it to hand wash. The logo is worthless if it is on a piece that looks like crap.

    Great tips...thank you! Another tip is always to have your nails done and done with a basic, clean manicure...nothing crazy! I can respect the trendy pointy nail or the bedazzled, jeweled nail, for example, but a clean, neutral polish or classic red nail goes a long way...in my humble opinion!

    What people don't understand is ....When you invest in LUXURY shoes, handbags and clothing that doesn't mean that you have to buy them BRAND NEW! The majority of my closet (90%) is High End-Saint Laurent, Moschino, Givenchy, Gucci, Prada, Alice + Olivia---but it's all THRIFTED/Secondhand. Most of it is borderline brand new, BUT secondhand.
    Thrifting is not only fun for me finding luxury items, but it's what's in my price range.
    Every luxury item I own is unique and vintage, and I would rather own them, than something that is temporarily in-fashion. When I look at my closet, I see personal style and not fast fashion and I am proud of that!

    100% agree on the pointy shoes. I don't think a single soled pointed stiletto in black or nude will ever go out of style.
    I will add- while I don't think it's worth it to spend lots of dollars on expensive clothes, I do think it's worthwhile to splurge on a high quality trench and a nice wool coat in neutral colors. They're low cost per wear if you live in a temperate climate and wear those items for much of the year but really pull an outfit together.

    The best way to be classy is refine and educate the mind, increase your vocabulary, read great literature and be compassionate to and help animals. All combined it's quite a dynamic presentation. People tend to surround themselves with "things" and many times it's simply because there's nothing else to that person. If you have intellect and personality life is much more satisfying and interesting. I have known many ppl who dress well and look well put together and there's no one home.

    I would add paying attention to fabrics (like do they look neat close up?) and fabrication (how is the stitching?).
    Oh and for adding trends into ones wardrobe I would go for simple rather than bold. Like a clean cut shirt in gingham right now rather than a intricate one-shoulder piece with loads of ruffles, because the clean shirt will still be interesting in a few seasons/ years. And I totally love adding "old" trends to an outfit. If you're doing it right you're looking chic and well put together and not outdated at all. :)

    honestly, I think those "entry level designer pieces", or basically everything that has a big logo on it, looks cheap. sure, they cost 200 dollars (which i would never pay for a belt, especially one that is basically a canvas strap. maybe if it was really nice chic clean looking leather one, i'd consider it) But I think the bigger the logo, the cheaper something looks. Other than that, this video contains good tips.

      Ilse I get her point, that displaying a scarf or something implies you know what's expensive, but IMO it can look like you're trying TOO hard to impress people. I care about how I look (on most days except Saturday and Sunday:). I guess I don't care enough what anyone thinks of me to justify buying a $200 scarf. Can't do it.

    Class and elegance are missing. You can put as many labels as you want, and look silly. Simplicity, how the clothes actually fit and do they compliment you, those are some key points. Often times “cheap” clothes look cheap, because of the material and sewing. Flashy looks “cheap” and somewhat desperate. I’ve seen so many well dressed women and man, who look elegant and expensive with out a single designer label “screaming “.

    How to look expensive is best to look at “old money” expensive people. They do wear neutrals and wear natural make-up but they almost never have the need to wear designer items that purposefully have the logos showing.
    Most yuppies or wasps will say that you can tell when someone is trying to hard when they purposefully wear items with logos. Most yuppies or wasps opt for accessories like Hermès or Burberry (on occasion Chanel) due to the look being more streamlined with the logo not showing.
    If you’re going to look “expensive” go for the “old money” look rather than “new money” look. It’s a difference in the air of confidence. One looks like they are comfortable whilst the other looks like they need to prove that the look expensive and belong.
    Just some food for thought!

I haven’t read any of the comments yet so I’m sure this has been mentioned already, but I think keeping your hair colored and freshly trimmed, using white strips to keep your teeth as bright white as possible, and also having a nice clean manicure and pedicure are easy ways to add to a put together look.

      Yes Jackie C& Jessica Zuniga! D&B has been my fave since the 80's. I gravitate to the pebble leather items. I recently bought the Lexington Tote to haul my laptop and and such and it's great! My pieces have served me well for decades. I also love their service side. Had a 12yr old backpack that was my staple drop everything in it and go bag which I sent in for a repair and they sent me money to get a new one. Had to put a few coins with it but I purchased the same one again and am now more careful where I sit it and pouch the items I need to carry inside. Although, I am terrible about using the dust bags.

    I’m reading the comments and laughing at how catty it sounds. I work in finance and people with money rarely want people to know they have a lot of money. Why? Because then they try to access it. As far as “old money” is concerned that is so country club. Money is a resource. Shea is just sharing her interest and style. That is fine. Just be classy and either be cool or move on. It’s that simple.
    Just be the best version of you.

      That is very true. We live in a very high-end gated community and everyone here wears absolutely utilitarian clothing. Old NB sneakers, banana republic khaki shorts and t-shirts are pretty standard weekend wear. If you weren't surrounded by giant houses and German cars, you'd never know that any of them were more than middle class at the most. They don't spend a lot of frivolous things, which is how they keep all that money! 😉

      Goaty Gal&Family You are absolutely correct in part of your assertion, but two clarifications:
      1- "Old money" isn't necessarily "country club" any more....maybe regionally it is, i.e. small towns, but certainly not populated areas and suburbs around cities.
      2- There most definitely are people that like to and/or do their flaunt money, which is how the term "nouveau riche" came to be. These showy displays are most often people with newly acquired money/wealth, compensating for some insecurity, filling a void/self medicating by spending, trying to elevate themselves and/or buy in to/fit in with a higher class. Unfortunately, churning through money at alarming rates isn't impressive and it's the best way to go through money.
      Bc they haven't had money, they have no idea how to manage, keep, and invest it...they falsely think money will always be there and succumb to instant gratification, tell themselves that they "deserve" every luxury purchase (esp if they see others w/it) and justify overspending, not realizing just how much they are really racking up/charging. Ben Franklin said it best: "A fool and his money are soon parted."
      Also sometimes it's all a facade, a sham; they are leveraged to the hilt. Their home(s) have a mortgage (or two!), they don't own their luxury cars (plural) - they're leased or have to make payments, they are materialistic, (overly) concerned with keeping up with the Joneses, the latest fashions, the newest technology, appearances, possessions, ....and they don't pay off their credit cards every month, so they pay outrageous interest rates ...and keep charging, buying, & spending - accumulating more debt.

      Maybe when they are running their errands; however, when they are invited to places or are attending an event they put on very expensive brand of clothing and accessories. But these brands are not mainstream brands, and the brands may be known only by people who are looking for added luxury and uniqueness - like a Rolls Royce among cars. For instance Patek Phillippe wrist watch runs between $100K-$1Million, the watches are very subtle and elegant in appearance (not to mention extraordinary quality) it does not scream at you "Hey, look how luxurious I look" like Rolex watches. And that's a kind of stuff really wealthy and professional people buy.

    I think "how to instantly elevate your look" is something that transcends "expensive"
    Two things I THINK you seem to consider but didn't mention are...
    1. Grooming both yourself (chipped polish will negate any style plus your Chanel Jumbo brings to the game) and groom/maintain your wardrobe. Stains, missing buttons, dirty shoes ruin a put together look.
    2. Quality of a garment. (This does not mean it has to be expensive). Both the cut and the quality of the fabric will go a long way toward making a Target button up or a Zara dress look and wear well. Your Balmain dupe blazer may need plastic buttons replaced with metal or the sleeves hemmed.
    Ok I guess I have 3 tips ...3. Find and use a good tailor. The right fit will definitely make a garment look more expensive than it is.

    These other ‘women’ who are spouting such hate for Shea in the comments and then adding a catty ‘sweetie’ or ‘hon’, or implying it, are the REAL problem with why women are perceived by men as never being able to stand toe to toe with them...NOT because many of us like fashion, jewelry, ‘girly’ things...but because we are so petty and vicious with each other and not supportive of each others’ choices that we simply cannot be taken SERIOUSLY by them.
    It’s petty jealousy and wanting to be ‘right’ that make passive aggressive women want to put down bright, cheerful women like Shea for something as silly as her VOICE, hand gestures, etc and calling her annoying. Really? Then what does that make you? She loves spreading her joy of fashion, etc on the net. Good for her! Do something positive with your life and stop putting others down.

But we have something in common: I am a combat veteran, 1-17 (AIR) CAV, 82d (ABN) DIV and YES that gives us commonality. Why?

    Loved this video Shea! I totally agree with everything. My tip is to wear the perfect nude and invisible bra with every outfit. I think it looks so cheap when people have red straps sticking out or you can see bumps from the lace through thin shirts. I might just be picky though haha

    • @catbaril9072
      @catbaril9072 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alyssa Mills the only moment you should see the bra is when it is done on purpose. If you are going for a visible lace bralette, for instance! Unless you are trying to make a pubk/trashy look, then it CAN work. But that's not the objective here.

    Nope, just fell across 1 video by accident and that was cool, but that was enough for me. It's interesting to see other people's opinions though and I appreciate yours, however In Europe a belt like that just screams cheap. Also a red glossy lip after a certain age without the plumpness of youth is not classy. I think there's a very clear definition between US class and UK class. New money and old. However good tailoring, a good manicure, a good haircut will always serve you well. A fake handbag will always look fake as will a fake watch. Dainty jewellery, pointed shoes, yes, always. I agree. Manners, etiquette, and kindness will show true class any day of the week.

    Entry level designer pieces paired with a bunch of cheap stuff from H&M just make you look like you're trying to look expensive. The bright side is that most people won't notice anyway.

    Very juvenile way of looking expensive. Wearing brand logos, on a belt, scarf, necklace, bags...makes you look like you’re really trying to look more expensive than you can afford! People that can afford less tend to bathe themselves in brand logos. Newly rich or rich wannabes!
    It is completely unnecessary, when you’re saving for months for a pair of Valentino shoes.
    Don’t be like everyone else. Be unique! Visit Italy and buy some nice real soft leather shoes, leather bag...there is so much more out there, even better than Gucci, Valentino etc. Show of something that nobody has!

    I liked the mixed view of comments. I would say when I was in my 20's this was important to me. Now, my confidence, wisdom, and humanity to others and high emotional intelligence takes me all the way to the end zone.
    Now, you have made some good points. I also find when I dress in monochromatic colors with a great pair of shades and a glossy nude lip, people tell me I look like Hollywood, rich and the bomb.com.
    Also I invest in good skin care, which helps my look and I would say nice tailored hairstyle.
    But the way you present yourself and how you treat others immediately places you at another level.
    You can look expensive and treat people like crap. And when I see that, that people looks low end.
    Wealth comes from inside out.

      Stacey Tucker its about mystery. An expensive look has mystery. This look is just too American and middle class.

      I think "expensive "is an odd term, maybe "polished"?

      Classy is a very cheap word.

    If you think forever 21 is low end shopping we have different views on low end shopping. I find great clothes at thrift stores all the time.
