Q. i wear hollister and abercrombie
A. dress classic. [rivate school uniforms are perfect examples of this look. use them as inspiration for your daily wardrobe. cardigans, plaid, polo shirts, jumpers, skirts, slacks and shorts. also, for the "old money" look, more vintage style classics will work, like a british style 3-button suit, anything "tweed", etc. fabrics should be strictly organic: wool, nubby, relaxed. no polyester, nothing "shiny". shoes should be leather, understated, and conservative. don't overdo it; try to go for a relaxed look, like you just got back from a week at the family home in kennebunkport. well fitting clothing in relaxed muted colors and maybe a touch of pastel is very old money.
have good hygiene. make sure you always brush your teeth and take a shower. wash your hair and keep it tidy but understated. clean your nails and get manicures at inexpensive nail salons. short tips are really pretty but avoid long nails with bright colors or nail jewels.
keep your face neat and your body well groomed. men should have precise haircuts, and well shaven facial hair. women should have a "tasteful" cut, color and shine in their hair. clear skin, free of acne and well moisturized especially in women of a certain age. hair color should look natural and highlights and lowlights must be natural as if obtained on a visit to the beach house.
slow down your speech, and lower your voice volume. Don't be loud or draw attention to yourself. learn to play golf, tennis and sail, or to ride (horses), even to play polo (if you have the stomach for it). get familiar with english history. groom regularly, nails, body, face and hair. keep clothing neat in appearance (tuck in shirts, wear comfortable fitting not very loose clothing). you must think before you talk, because, as small as this may seem, some people blurt out things that make them seem as if they didn't, and it can hurt you and others.
change the forecast. for women, strapped sandals in winter are alright. for men, sweaters and khaki shorts with casual loafers are okay as long as it's not snowing. the old money crowd does love to layer, so sweaters, overcoats, and similar garb is handy for cooler conditions.
a wealthy woman's makeup is natural with neutral colors, except for red lipstick, the only color in her makeup. her nail polish is a pale white, pink or beige. perfect skin is a rich woman must. never overtan; natural skin color looks much better. no sunspots, so keep on sporting sunscreen, though everyone looks better with a healthy glow.
smell like money. men and women should wear a small amount of an expensive scent. (men- on inner wrist and underneath the jaw line, women- on inner wrist inner elbows and underneath jaw line or behind ears). do not put too much on!
never look at the tag while "shopping" in expensive stores. train yourself not to react to extremely high prices by educating yourself on the ridiculous pricing for designer goods. if you react and make a scene, the other shoppers in the store will think that they are better than/ above you.
watch TV or movies about those with a lot of money. read forbes, barron's, the wall street journal, the new yorker, and the economist.
don't try too hard; subtlety is key. looking like a newly rich person is never a good thing to those who have always had money.
an authentic designer bag or wallet is nice, but go for something a bit bland or obsolete. something that is the "latest fashion" is by definition a trend, which is anathema to the old money crowd. it must be well made and leather even if not designer, go for simplistic designs, such as the LL bean boat & tote or a classic black quilted chanel. nothing avante garde, and nothing that looks like the balenciaga lariat, or the chloe paddington. however, if you're impressing the nouveau riche, "trendy" is pretty much mandatory.
have at least one pair of really decent well made shoes. for men, some very conservative and understated oxfords or loafers. for women, a conservative pump, like the classic chanel pump would be a good choice.
one of the most important things is to try and act normal. people who are not rich, wish they were. people who are rich don't want anyone to know. wear things that are good quality, but do not advertise. if someone is truly wealthy, they will be able to tell. do not act as though you are above normal activities. act rich, walk and speak properly, but when you talk about the subject of yourself or your life, speak about yourself as though you are a normal person.
and remember...
-flashy does not mean wealth, only poor taste.
-speak properly; always mind your grammar.
-use excellent posture, whether you are sitting or standing.
-know your etiquette. read books on the proper use.
hope this helps

Color boat shoes, girly or not? ?
Q. My parents ordered me a pair as a surprise! Don't know what they were thinking. Anyways, I'm a guy, 6'1 and 230 lbs. I wear a lot of colored light and dark colored shirts with khakis. I wear boat shoes with very low sox or no socks. They said the kind they got me the thought are good for summer. Anyways, here's the link http://www.sperrytopsider.com/commonimages/sperry/490px/0799023_1_490x300.jpg
Let me know if you guys think these are girly or not. I'm in high school by the way. Thanks!
I meant light and dark colored coller shirts�sorry

A. When you said "color boat shoes", I thought you meant they were going to be 'English Racing Green', or 'Bubblegum Pink' or something!
That's a nice, neutral, sand color = neutral = great.
Sperry Topsiders are cute and I personally think they reveal quite a lot about the man (or woman) wearing them. They're classic. Comfortable. Not trendy. I think they sound perfect.
They have another neutral color that's a little darker (resembles Palomino leather interior on the BMW Z4 convertible <ha>) = a classic, sun-darkened tan leather) which I love. Sperrys can be returned if purchased at Nordstrom (or any large department store) and swapped out for another color, if the customer wants to. If they're purchased directly from Sperry, they'll do exchanges/returns and they'll cover the shipping. You just would have to phone them. Their customer service rep will send you a postage-paid label for returns.
I think they're really cute and there's nothing feminine about them. (Even though women wear them)..they're classic. Sperry Topsiders speak volumes..they really do. It's a sort of, effortless and easy way to indicate one is of a certain caliber = degree of excellence.
