Taking care of your appearance is important, especially if you are a teenager. Even if you don't have a lot of money, that doesn't mean you can't have a great look! Don't get obsessed with your financial situation: read this article and you will discover that you can have style for little!
Steps
Step 1. Cultivate good interpersonal skills
You should act sweet, relaxed and calm in any situation; always be polite. Try not to gossip, interrupt others while they talk, and swear. Talk to everyone and treat everyone well, don't just focus on popular groups. Choose your closest friends wisely though (someone might take advantage of your kindness). Behave cordially with adults. Above all, be yourself: people should know your true personality; any girl, wealthy or not, has a character of her own, different from that of anyone else.
Step 2. Wear high-quality clothing, but remember not to sacrifice comfort
Wealthy people generally wear well-made clothing simply because they can afford it. Your clothing should be freshly laundered and discreet, without referring to political, racial, and so on issues. Wear what you prefer, you have to feel the clothes you are wearing yours. You should be comfortable and satisfied with every single outfit you choose, not under pressure and forced to wear what is in fashion. Everyone should have their own style, whether they are rich or not!
- Most rich girls are preppy, so you can dress this way if you want. Wear Lacoste polo shirts, Tommy Hilfiger sweaters, Chloé blouses, Acne dresses, Hervé Léger dresses, Levis, Acne or Calvin Klein jeans and Burberry scarves.
- If you don't like the preppy style, choose another one. Shop at Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, PINK by Victoria's Secret, Wet Seal, Target, H&M, J. Crew, Express and Forever 21 stores for cool pieces. The trick is to make clothes look more expensive than they are (using accessories, creating layers, making small changes, etc.).
- Typically, good-looking teenagers with a casual style wear clothes such as jeans, chinos, good quality plain sweaters, trousers with different patterns, boots, shirts, casual clothes (at parties), cardigans, blouses, cotton sweaters, sweaters, sandals, skirts and sweatshirts with prints that recall the most famous American academic institutions (Harvard, Naval Academy, West Point, etc.).
Step 3. Buy some cute bags
In theory, you need two: one for formal occasions and one for everyday life. If you can, buy one by Louis Vuitton (the Speedy 30 is a classy, chic and elegant model, and the pattern that distinguishes it is fabulous), by Chloé (the Paddington is also a chic model), by Mulberry (like the Alexa beige or brown or the camel-colored Mitzy Tote) or Chanel (the black 2.55 suits most occasions). Can't you afford it? Buy a cheaper one: check out those from Gant, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M and Forever 21. Avoid buying fake bags. If you don't have a good budget, just buy the style-inspired accessories of the more expensive ones. If you have to choose a fake bag, you should tell the truth. Fashion lovers can immediately understand the difference and will realize the actual quality of the accessory. In any case, not all rich girls carry 600 euro bags.
Step 4. If you can, put your makeup on simply
Over the course of the day, you can use a light foundation, neutral eyeshadow, gloss, black or brown mascara, bronzer, blush, and if you like, black or brown eyeliner. Are you going to a party? You can use darker or glitter-filled eyeshadows. Don't get pierced, just pierce your ears. Shower every day and make sure your skin is clean. Buy products to take care of them.
Step 5. Care for your hair so it is healthy, natural and beautiful
Wear them loose or gathered, but always opt for simple hairstyles. You can use a gel or a spray, just be sure to do some treatments to fix the damage.
- Wash your hair every two to three days using a shampoo and conditioner suitable for the type of stem you have. They shouldn't be expensive, in fact you can use supermarket brands such as Herbal Essences, Dove, Pantene and Garnier. Apply conditioner every time you shampoo; let it act for a few minutes, so the hair will be very soft, without the dreaded frizz effect.
- Try out different hairstyles for special occasions. You could curl them, straighten them, make a bun, or braid them.
Step 6. Respect your parents
It would be ideal to have a well-groomed and polite family. Either way, you should give the impression that you received a good education as a child and behave respectfully towards them.
- Try to get your mother to dress decently and elegantly. Here are some brands that are ideal for her wardrobe (or, at least, she can be inspired by): Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Chanel, Banana Republic, Vineyard Vines, Bottega Veneta and Mulberry. As for the bags, recommend those by Chloé, while the best scarves are those by Burberry and Hermés. Obviously, she can't help but have a little black dress and a pair of pearl or diamond earrings.
- Try to get your father to dress well. He could opt for brands like Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Nautica. Better to choose polo shirts and two or three Pierre Cardin jackets. An Armani suit would also do. If you can't persuade him, just ask him to look clean and comfortable and to behave with class.
Step 7. Try to have a nice and clean home
Make sure it's neat and classy. Most wealthy families have a maid who takes care of the housework during the week and helps around the house, but you can do it yourself. Try to create a cozy, pleasant and polished space.
You can buy small decorative items to make your home more beautiful, such as a vase, rugs, silk pillows, paintings (family portraits or works of art), scented candles and cute lamps. In this way, the space will be beautiful and welcoming. You could also paint pictures yourself and ask your parents if you can hang them on a wall
Step 8. Live right
Don't be afraid to go out with your parents every now and then. Ask them to have dinner at an elegant restaurant. Visit galleries and participate in events with them. Take advantage of these occasions to show off a chic look. Also, often invite your girlfriends to the mall, the beach, out to eat, etc. Most rich girls are busy, and most days they do something with their friends or have afternoon activities.
Step 9. Learn to play an instrument, excel in a sport or embrace whatever talent you have
Most rich girls have a certain passion for music, painting, dance or sports. Whatever your strength is, you need to be aware of it and make sure you cultivate it daily.
- Some of the more common instruments are the piano, violin and guitar.
- Most rich girls play tennis. You can also go horseback riding or try sports like soccer, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball, and lacrosse, which are also popular among wealthy teenagers.
Step 10. Try to do well in school
Be a good student (make sure you get grades like 8-10 and be kind to your teachers and other employees at the institution), but that doesn't mean you have to be a nerd. Just study hard and show others that you really care about your future.
Step 11. Try to have a good reputation
Be a friendly, sweet, and loyal friend. Develop good interpersonal skills, cultivate your social life and don't gossip about anyone. People will automatically trust you and love you!
Step 12. Don't try to flaunt what you have
Rich people are like any other human being, and they generally know it. It is not said that they are spendthrift, on the contrary, they may aim at saving, just like you. Many wealthy individuals are humbler than they appear.
Advice
Try to have good manners. Read books about etiquette. Try to buy them and learn the basics, so you will know how to behave at the table and how to appropriately address others. Never judge people for the income they have
Warnings
- Do not overdo it.
- Don't gossip. When you do, it shows that you have not been raised in the right way.
- Don't be a snob! Rich and educated people don't behave this way. Cool girls are comfortable with themselves and with others, and they don't need to be rude or disrespectful to people to reaffirm their charm and social status.
