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.
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.
One thing I've noticed is that eyebrows make the difference. A pair of neat, properly groomed, and well shaped according to the face shape eyebrows make you look put together and nice.
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!
Erica G Bradley I do agree! I was going to comment the same. No matter how put together you are, if you have raggedy nails it'll ruin the whole scenario! ;)
To add to your list, I think that if you clothing needs to be pressed and neat also makes you look put together. Also your shoes are clean. You can have an expensive pair of shoes but if they are not clean, it brings your outfit down! Love your videos!
It must really take some thick skin to be a RUclips Beauty/Fashion Blogger. How do you do it with so much negativity? I would probably read every comment, focusing on the bad ones, and cry myself to sleep. I think you're great Shea!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Right! It's horrible how mean people can be. Why take time to tear another down because you're unhappy, jealous, and able to hide behind a keyboard/ phone?! If you don't care for what a person is sharing, move on! Simple!
cece lewis You’re absolutely right!!! They say you’re supposed to have haters....it means you’re doing something right. Shea must be doing her thang and doing it very well!!!
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.
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.
Nicestgirl Ever all saints has many that are 40-50% off right now too. I bought one a couple months ago when I saw Victoria from Inthefrow wearing one in one of her always-gorgeous outfits.
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.
Agree. Big logo anything looks tacky and looks like someone is trying too hard too impress ppl around. All those belts and scarf brings down the whole look if you're aiming for something chick and classy. Moreover everyone knows that those entry level huge logo items don't even cost that much.
I don't understand why there are so many negative comments on this video, I found it both entertaining and informative. Frankly if you don't find the concept of the video interesting or useful why click on it in the first place. It's so sad how people feel the need to tear others apart on social media.
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
Everything you say is fine and true. And some people love fashion and have a strong sense of fashion as visual art. The lady's video is about that. It's about LOOKING EXPENSIVE. It 's not saying looks matter and nothing else does. Give the girl a break, she's making a contribution here.
Pearls make you look more expensive and you don't have too spend too much money. I have pearl stud earrings that I can wear with almost any outfit. You don't need super expensive jewelry, just a few timeless pieces that you can wear repeatedly. Great video!
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 “.
I hate logos..to me they are tasteless..I see people with these expensive bags and glasses and things trying to prove how much they are worth by wearing names. Beautifully made bags and footwear of good quality are available without the brash, ostentatious display. Paired with classic comfortable clothes and clean healthy skin and hair. Makeup that accentuates your natural features not "make up" for them and fragrance that expresses your personality or your spirit. A kind and courteous attitude. Done and Done.
@Miss lany Excellent point about a trench coat. Unfortunately, I can't afford a Burberry, so I opted for one from J.Crew & the other from London Flog. One beige, one black. Both classics, both chic. A must have in any wardrobe.
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!
I agree with all of your advice! Thank you for making this video! 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.
One thing I think of when looking expensive is hair! If someones hair color and style doesn't look put together it kinda takes down the whole look to me. I'm one who can't go get my hair done a lot but those who have perfect color and style always look like a million bucks to me lol
Such a great video! Agree with all the tips. I would add one more: well-tailored clothing!! Well-fitted outfit instantly makes one look polished and put-together. I am a subscriber and love your channel!
Shea Whitney just found your channel, great videos! question..what are the nude studded high heels shown in the beginning of video? been trying to find those forever!
I used to buy designer brands to "fit in"..but now, in my mid thirties, I'd rather buy brands that survive multiple washes and are durable. Dooney & Bourke is my favorite handbag because they are cute, functional and last forever!
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.
Thank you! Exactly! I get so sick of how everyone blows SO MUCH MONEY on absolute junk!.. just to be “cool”... it’s so stupid! Invest that money! Save it up! Stop spending everything you make, people!
I noticed the way I dressed I received different treatments from stores. Interestingly, I worked for a company & the CEO never wore socks, his car looked like it was about to break down, yet he was wealthy! You should try & see if you too would receive different treatment based on how you look.
ur so right about pointy shoes, I believe it really does add another level of class to ur outfit. Also I want to add expensive designer watches also make any outfit look expensive. love ur channel!
Hi Shea! I really enjoyed your video and I agree with everything that you suggested however I would add just one more thing and that would be well manicured nails. I really believe that your hands are one of the first things that people notice. Thanks for a great video! Hugs! 😘💕👍🏻
Absolutely! There's no point in wearing beautiful bracelets or rings if your nails are all chipped or bitten off, and a manicure is very easy to do yourself if you object to paying for one regularly, which I do. I have better things to do with my money and doing my nails once a fortnight only takes around half an hour.
Totally random but for a video idea maybe u should go shopping at Saks or barneys or even a boutique while you're dressed like a slob vs dressed well put together and see what gets you better treatment
omg YES ! I love that idea ---I know I know a doctor and a few people who live in mansions and yet they dress like they are in rags and they went to a store and people were extremely rude
PhoGenic Josh .....honestly in this day and age of online reviews of bad treatment I think that overall customer srrvice has improved. You better believe if I get snubbed in any way I will ask the clerk's name and see the manager on the spot, just sayin'
I actually did this as an experiment a few years ago--Long story short I am an attorney, have been working 70hours plus and wanted to dress down on my only day off in months, but still go shopping at Bloomies/Saks/etc.......the salespeople didn't even glance at me , like I was some type of imbacile invading "their" store LOL..........no Hello's, no nothing! Little did they know I had 2K to spend! LOL. I never understood why salespeople are like this ; they make $9.00 to sell clothing, your job isn't that important and prestigious honey.
Layne Elliott i disagree i wear expensiv perfum n i dnt over do it .with two sprays behind the ears u are ready to go . I only wear j'adore n i never over do it . .
Great video 😊 Another tips is going all white or all black. White is very clean 🙄 Or mixing black and white. Black pants and a white blazer with a white top under. Looks really great
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
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.
Neutrals look more expensive because of your natural coloring. Take somebody with stronger natural coloring and the same shirt will look old and even dirty ;)
The wealthiest people that I know wear tee shirts and shorts with flip flops... because they INVEST their money.. they don’t blow it all on clothes and accessories in an attempt to appear as wealthy as they are.. I guess they don’t feel the need to prove their wealth to anyone.
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.
Couldnt have said it better myself. My husband and I were just talking about this. The people that are actually wealthy dont usually flaunt it like that. Same with us going to the casino. Hubby and I would go all the time but now that we have better jobs and have money saved up we rarely go because we dont want to blow the money weve been working hard to save. lol
the video's point goes to people who are not that actually rich ok. this video is to enhance their confidence and enjoy a little feeling of some one who would look expensive. This is not to compete with multi millionaire people ok who would like to tone down on their fashion. So why bother take offense or laught about this video if your really rich? If you are really rich though , you might as well would have a richer psychology to other people who aren't rich as you.
@@joshsalcedo8772 sweetie i think YOURE the one taking things out of hand LOL no one is saying there is a compition. And no one is saying that anyone who isnt "rich" should look nice and feel confident. Calm down friend.
I know a millionaire couple, that you wouldn’t never tell by looking at them👇🏼 They wear T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and Infinite zeros in their banking account. Lol.
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.
'Invest in shoes and handbags' doesn't mean buy Gucci or Chanel. if the best you can afford is Nine West, then buy Nine West or Kenneth Cole or whatever. Buy the best you can afford
indeed, lucie, I actually dont own anything made of leather since I cant afford it. But, I have noticed that people that have money tend to buy stuff made of leather. So, thats. why I have a tendency to associate leather items with wealth in a way. By the way, I used to have a cat named Luciel
Gr8P ph so thats why. Yeah because they want to show of that they can afford it. Luciel is a boys name right? Mine is French because we live near france (in Germany) anf thats why ist prnounced Lücie (luecie) 😊🌈
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. Shea thanks for sharing your tips.
Goaty Gal&Family 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.
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!
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.
Sheila Blake oh Sheila, we all don't think like this, lol- we are bombarded with so many ideas here it takes some more time to realize and sift through the nonsense- 🤓
yeah its so interesting, I live in Netherlands and those belts or LV bags are something generally frowned upon. Here usually low class people aspire to have LV bags, Gucci belts and rich people really dont like to show off
Sheila Blake I don’t think it’s necessarily US fashion that’s the problem. I would never wear those because they look tacky and cheap. I would also invest in a nice quality shirt that will last rather than focus on just the color and completely dismissing the fact that it looks like it wouldn’t make it after just one wash.
+Philosvegan: exactly they go for very high quality, luxury no-mainstream brands that only other really rich people can afford and hence can appreciate its uniqueness.
It screams cheap in NYC too. Logos are for people in the ghetto. Most of these youtubers and instagrammers are not from here, their version of chic is what they call "expensive " and they use the word WRONG, it's completey classless. They also don't have a whole lot of personal style, just copycat. That's what I got from this video.
I am new to this channel. 😁 I have not read all the comments below, so perhaps, someone else mentioned this...but I suggest neutral nail polish with square-round shaped natural nails. A nice manicure always looks expensive. 💅🏼
Shea- try wearing your LV bandeau in your hair for an elegant outdoor event. It will look so elegant and expensive. Also, what lip color are you wearing in this video? It is sensational.
Jennifer McGee I agree, I love the lippie colour... Some of us can't wear bright red lipstick, I'm a redhead & I never wear red lipstick... ( I have never even worn any red clothes & I'm 40+.)
Tying a designer scarf/bandeau/twilly to a less expensive label bag is not classy at all, it is very pretentious. Never attach a more expensive scarf to a cheaper bag. The bag should always be more expensive than the scarf etc.
Its all about looks, shiny scarf for shiny bag,,, simpler cotton scarf for everyday leather,, the price of the scarf doesn't matter, texture and fabric however....
That was my thought also nobody said still but they know you're trying to pretend when you do that actually she's talking to a real young crowd I'm in the middle so some of that stuff does not fit me
I came to this chanel to get ideas for a summer wedding, why are you negative nancies soo mean and hateful. She has her fan base which speaks volume. If you ppl have nothing nice to say, ZIP IT!!! Your fingers are working way too hard. I embrace, kindness, love and positivity.
Virginia Conway lol. If I looked like I planned my outfit, you’re seeing me at my “I tried my hardest, please don’t say anything rude about my outfit. I actually put a lot of effort into this.” But I still manage to look like crap
@@madisonmorris7394 The best time to put an outfit together is when all your laundry is done. If something doesn't work you just chuck it and replace it. That always works for me. When I start to run out of clean clothes I start to look frumpy.
Loved your video and your attitude and your look. People have always told me that I have that well put together vibe that looks like I really take care of myself. The funny thing is I lived in a car for 12 years after my husband took everything in a divorce. The rude comments people have left are really unimportant. I think it is sweet that you posted this video and it gives some good tips!
As a worker at Bergdorf's, me and my fellow workers all agree that it is the people who look plain that are the ones who pay $10,000 for goods without blinking with cash or a debit card. It is the ones who are covered head to toe, in fashion brands always use a credit card.
people still use cash in 2018? Cashless is the way of life now. Even I don't bring thousand dollars of cash walking around. You are just asking to get robbed. Just swipe debit or credit card.
Ivy It all depends if you are traditional or not and which country you are from. Many shoppers in Bergdorf use cash. I also think the way people use debit or credit cards is kind of uncouth. The way pull out their card from the reader at lightning speed is both rude and a clear sign of being common.
I still love my LV reverse monogram bbkbags clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Hi Shea. What a great reminder. Your 10 tips are all "classic"...classy. While I'm almost passed wearing pointy shoes (I'm now looking more for comfort shoes!), I'm glad I'm still on-trend. Thanks!
Same here - I have genetic bunions on both feet (yes, they run in our family). I used to wear lovely heels but now, due to the bunions, I can only wear very soft, pliable shoes. My favorites are now really pretty flats. My mother is a fashionista and it really annoyed her when she got to the place where she had limited shoe choices. She still always looks beautiful and "expensive."
Yep. Pearls are pretty classic. It might seem a bit vintage, but it does actually work VERY WELL - tested it. You still see them a lot in fancy restaurants and hotels.
I would add pearl earrings and manicured nails (neautrals or any tone of red) Im a subscriber and enjoy your videos! :) Its refreshing to see new video ideas!
neutral colours can look classy but that t shirt your wearing, close up it looks cheap around the neck line and the shoulder seams are not the same one is further down than the other. i like good tailoring and it doesnt have to be to expenisive to get this.
You mean seams, not "seams" right? I actually saw one with seams like that all torn up easy looking at Barneys in Chicago this week for $300 not cheap but faux cheap. Expensive is relative depending on how much $$$ you have in wealth management.
you knew what i meant when i said seems ok seams, however you want to sound smart..buy that shitty sounding expensive faux cheap as that will go with your nature to get cheap shots at peole.
GIRL I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU CAN DO IT! TO READ PEOPLES BULLSHIT RUDENESS! UGH! I think your beautiful and classy and if you wear a 200$ shirt or 10 shirt you make it look great! You are lucky and blessed!
Money doesn't buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, and a pretty scarf, gray shoes and a wonderful bag and it will always be elegant. Carolina Herrera
You give good streamlined advice for people who have a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. My further advice is to own whatever you wear; people will be attracted to you. You will appear to be comfortable in your own skin, a rare find today.
If I have to try to “look” expensive to others just means that their opinions of me are more important than my own. Being a kind and caring person is the best look anyone could have.
I think the intensity of “women should be seen and not heard”-esque garbage (in the form of “talk less hunnie”) is so high in these comments because being soft-spoken, docile and practically over-medicated is associated with presenting as more upper class. To all of these negative commenters speaking their truths - join us in 2018 when you catch up.
My tip would be to have your nails looking neat. If you can’t get your nails done at a salon at least have them filed and maybe polished a clear or neutral color.
yes I agree, nails are so important - however I am starting to think that "homemade" looks better than done at a salon- as everyone seems to do it. I feel like a well applied nail polish on short and clean nails can look super casual, carefree and elegant. No stickers, no glitter - a simple color applied generously. But that's my opinion :)
Yes babe! Love that you think the same. I am just so tired of seeing all these plasticy sticked nails on everyone. I just can't stop staring and thinking - will they fall of or not?! :D
Shea, I love the way you put life in proper perspective! Remember some of us are over 60 and Can't follow all of your suggestions. But I love your hints. I now own some pointy black shoes! Thank You!
This is such a good idea for a video! I'm loving your unique video ideas, Shea - it's so refreshing to see new ideas and not just the same types of videos over and over! You go girl :)
The only actual way to look expensive is buying expensive... adding taky low tier designer accessories to mall clothes only fool yourself, not others. Its a better tip to invest, a good item last for longer and you not need the logo to fake the luxury look. Also because people that buy luxury constantly they avoid looking like a billboard.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *yutulux* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
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. Thank you for your video, I am a RUclipsr, I enjoyed watching video, what gets me to subscribed is if the other videos on the channel have interesting content that hold value for me or something I can share with others. I personal enjoyed this video but in my circle of friends would not watch this video only because there focus is different. My circle is less concerned on looking rich but instead building wealth. This is why I didn't hit the subscribed button. But I gave you a thumbs up. I hope this gives a little insight. Blessings.
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. However, the snobby elitists will notice, and I assume those are the people you are trying to impress when trying to "look expensive." Unfortunately, it won't work on them.
noname exactly you need to wear high end stuff and treat them like shit and change your your designer hand bag on a day to basis and not wearing the same bag, fot that you would need atleast 7 designer handbags,
We all want to dress well and be en trend, up to date. Shea's list is great. A thought from someone who's been around awhile....having class and having money are not the same. Having money comes from your wallet. Having class comes from your heart.

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. I SHOULD KNOW about women...I am nothing like Shea but I subscribed because she is genuine and an amazing woman. 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? Because we know who the real enemy to women’s progress is....was it men who treated me cruelly for being a combat vet? NO. Was it combat vet men, especially infantry that treated me badly? NO. Was it other women? YES. ALL THE TIME. I subscribed! You’re doing amazing sweetie! (And THAT, ladies, is how you use the word ‘sweetie’)
Gwendy S This. This!! It was women that made me want to kill my self several years ago. Not men. 😰. I subscribed to Shea too! Good job Shea!! Keep doing what you love and the self aware among us will love you for it!!
You are on to something here. We just can’t take you all seriously. I was watching this for ideas for my wife’s birthday and wondered, ‘what kind of catty bitchy comments will he down here?’ So I scrolled down and wasn’t disappointed. You ppl are your own worst enemies. You wanna know why you can’t get ahead- look in the mirror. Guys stand up for each other. Chicks actively seek out ways to bring each other down. Newsflash- IT’S NOT ATTRACTIVE!!!
Well said! Thank you for your comment. I just found Shea’s channel while watching another video, and I decided I will subscribe. Honestly, there is so much judgment, hate and negativity here and in the world. If you are the type of person who sees someone carrying a designer bag and think that person is just “trying to look rich” then you probably have low self-esteem. People always seem to find ways to judge others and act all high and mighty.
Trust me people that have money they can tell you are wearing cheap clothing, jewelry and everything in combination. You may look well put together but not expensive.
Agree with some of this buuuut red lipstick without the heavy eye. Think Parisienne style.. but I’m pretty sure one should still only use one dramatic at a time or it can look like too much going on. And logos are a no go. IMHO, it makes an otherwise really nice piece look inexpensive and tacky. Also, trench coats deserve an honourable mention.
The shot of you modeling the monochromatic blush pink look with the diorama bag .... 😍😍😍 so stunning! Also I agree with the neutral makeup style, you hardly see models on the runway in bold looks. A suggestion for you if you feel like stepping out just a tad, replace your dark brown or black eyeliner with a red toned brown, it will still look neutral but totally make the green in your eyes pop! PS I am a subscriber and very frequent viewer. Love your videos 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion of the eyeliner...I will definitely try that actually!! Such a good tip!! I need to order more eyeliner soon anyways...so I'll look for that!!! Thank you for watching my videos! :) XOXO
Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
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.
Yes I totally agree with all of your ideas! Thank you for sharing...and thank you for watching!! :)
c h2017 Excellent comment...totally agree👏
wow I love your comment! Thanks for sharing♡
This 💕
c h2017 I will add: a great haircut (and colour).
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.

Thank you so much Bonnie!!! I definitely agree with all of your tips. Thanks for watching :)

Totally agree, you don't have to spend a lot to look like a million bucks. Wish I had known this when I was younger.
Bonnie Dobbs agreed!
One thing I've noticed is that eyebrows make the difference.
A pair of neat, properly groomed, and well shaped according to the face shape eyebrows make you look put together and nice.
YES.
So true..
Yes I feel terrible when my eyebrows are not trimmed
I'm watching this as I paint stars on my jeans lol
😂😂😂
🤪🤪🤩
Did they turn out good???
That's so cute!
So creative 🌟
Wearing a nice watch will also elevate your look.
Simplybrandy03 ....yes, like a Michele Diamond Deco
Mary Bird is it affordable...?
solarlola 9 ...only IF you can AFFORD IT !
solarlola 9 you don't have to wear Daniel Wellington or any of these expensive watches,you can buy nice watch for under 10$ :)
Just get a gold, silver, and rose gold watch. It does not have to be expensive I get mine off eBay.
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!
Sorry, Cheryl M...I did not see your reply before I posted mine. But great minds think alike, right?
Erica G Bradley yesss exactly ❤❤ and not overly long nails aswell i hate that i hate devil nails haha
Totally agree. A nice neutral nail or French manicure 💅🏾 makes you look (and feel) so lady like, professional and pulled together
Erica G Bradley, I agree; classic or neutral shades ...
Erica G Bradley I do agree! I was going to comment the same. No matter how put together you are, if you have raggedy nails it'll ruin the whole scenario! ;)
To add to your list, I think that if you clothing needs to be pressed and neat also makes you look put together. Also your shoes are clean. You can have an expensive pair of shoes but if they are not clean, it brings your outfit down! Love your videos!
+Theresa Hatfield Oh my gosh, I totally agree!!! Thank you for watching!! :)
Theresa Hatfield, Amen!
Theresa Hatfield I agree
Mimi's Life STAY At Home Wife thank you!

It must really take some thick skin to be a RUclips Beauty/Fashion Blogger. How do you do it with so much negativity? I would probably read every comment, focusing on the bad ones, and cry myself to sleep. I think you're great Shea!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Right! It's horrible how mean people can be. Why take time to tear another down because you're unhappy, jealous, and able to hide behind a keyboard/ phone?! If you don't care for what a person is sharing, move on! Simple!
cece lewis You’re absolutely right!!! They say you’re supposed to have haters....it means you’re doing something right. Shea must be doing her thang and doing it very well!!!
@@Paschita Great way to flip it💕
Right? I don't understand why people watch a vid that they don't care about the info! Wasting their time n leaving negative comments.
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.
Just happened to come up to your video. Cool
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.
+Nicestgirl Ever I totally agree!!! Great point!👍🏼 Thank you for watching❤️
Nicestgirl Ever all saints has many that are 40-50% off right now too. I bought one a couple months ago when I saw Victoria from Inthefrow wearing one in one of her always-gorgeous outfits.
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 when I see a big logo I just think the person is tacky and wearing a fake lol
I totally agree!
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.
Agree. Big logo anything looks tacky and looks like someone is trying too hard too impress ppl around. All those belts and scarf brings down the whole look if you're aiming for something chick and classy. Moreover everyone knows that those entry level huge logo items don't even cost that much.
Ilse True. Tailored and simple does more for me than logos.
3 ways to present yourself as someone with class: 1. lower your voice 2. make your point and then stop talking 3. wear minimal make-up

YASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! MAKEUP- LIP OR THE EYE PICK ONE
I don't understand why there are so many negative comments on this video, I found it both entertaining and informative. Frankly if you don't find the concept of the video interesting or useful why click on it in the first place. It's so sad how people feel the need to tear others apart on social media.
Thank you for the kind words, Jennifer!! I really appreciate your comment :)
jennifer Beagle wish.you.a.happy.life
looking.after.oneself.is.important.dawn
How will one know either the video is good or not? You gotta click and watch to have an opinion...
jennifer Beagle ... they’re called bullies. I’m sure Shea rolls her eyes, not that they even deserve that.
I hope I didn't sound too negative, just expressing my thoughts and opinions. I didn't set out to savage anyone like a tRumpTard would.
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. :)
Claudia Schwarzlose It's all about the stitching!!!
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.
This is so correct. Dressing according to your own body's color palette is essential to looking put together.
Cait Kelly Humienny I am warm toned and fair skinned and totally agree with you. I would look dead if I wore neutrals.
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.
EXACTLY, my dark tone looks amazing in well paired bright colors :)
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.
Everything you say is fine and true.
And some people love fashion and have a strong sense of fashion as
visual art. The lady's video is about that.
It's about LOOKING EXPENSIVE. It 's not saying looks matter and nothing else does. Give the girl a break, she's making a contribution here.
Fuck all this animal nonsense, who cares about animals
Wow, well said. A person’s Intellectual capacity is the most attractive thing in my opinion. Well said!

Pearls make you look more expensive and you don't have too spend too much money. I have pearl stud earrings that I can wear with almost any outfit. You don't need super expensive jewelry, just a few timeless pieces that you can wear repeatedly. Great video!
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 “.
Totally agree! I live in Europe, we appreciate a very simple, uniform and neutral coloured minimalistic look in daily life
Agree! I thought Designer names on your clothing & handbag was some what passé 🤷♀️
1. Neutral clothing
2. Pointy shoes
3. Simple jewelry
4. Entry level designer pieces
5. Invest in bags & shoes
6. Vintage pieces
7. Natural makeup
8. Red lipstick
9. Military / leather jacket
10. Designer dupes
.
Tq
I hate logos..to me they are tasteless..I see people with these expensive bags and glasses and things trying to prove how much they are worth by wearing names.
Beautifully made bags and footwear of good quality are available without the brash, ostentatious display. Paired with classic comfortable clothes and clean healthy skin and hair. Makeup that accentuates your natural features not "make up" for them and fragrance that expresses your personality or your spirit.
A kind and courteous attitude.
Done and Done.
I refuse to be a walking advertisement for any one
Agree 💯. A Louis Vuitton screams loser. Labels are so out.
I agree
Rockin M. Excellent post!!
Rockin M sooooo true!!!!
On the list I would add a trench coat....
Yes - that's a great one to add!! :)
@Miss lany Excellent point about a trench coat. Unfortunately, I can't afford a Burberry, so I opted for one from J.Crew & the other from London Flog. One beige, one black. Both classics, both chic. A must have in any wardrobe.
There are online sources for pre-loved clothes and handbags, etc.
No need for me in Jamaica, but I agree!
Miss lany trench coats are great..
I'm from NYC, it's hard for us to steer clear of blacks and grays. For us, it's a classic, chic and sophisticated look.
Jenny Arias I am in Michigan. Blacks and grays are staple colors here, too.
Both are also neutrals. ;)
I'm in Oklahoma.. & basically everything I own is black or gray
Jenny Arias same here from Ottawa
Ohio here. Same shit
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!
Sartorially Black where do u shop for your second hand designer stuff?
@@nelisiwenothile ROSS is a great place to shop!
I wish I knew how to purchase lux items that are actually genuine. I rather not risk it and make an effort to buy the handbag from the actual store.
😲 honey I know that's right
ROSS does not carry any of the brands Sartorially Black mentioned
I agree with all of your advice! Thank you for making this video! 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.
One thing I think of when looking expensive is hair! If someones hair color and style doesn't look put together it kinda takes down the whole look to me. I'm one who can't go get my hair done a lot but those who have perfect color and style always look like a million bucks to me lol
That’s called “Rich hair “
Such a great video! Agree with all the tips. I would add one more: well-tailored clothing!! Well-fitted outfit instantly makes one look polished and put-together. I am a subscriber and love your channel!
Oh my yes...that's a great tip!! And thank you so much for watching my videos/channel!!! :)
Liliya amen to well tailored clothing
Shea Whitney just found your channel, great videos! question..what are the nude studded high heels shown in the beginning of video? been trying to find those forever!
I used to buy designer brands to "fit in"..but now, in my mid thirties, I'd rather buy brands that survive multiple washes and are durable. Dooney & Bourke is my favorite handbag because they are cute, functional and last forever!
Jackie C I've been buying Dooney & Burk since I was able to buy my own in my early 20's and I always get compliments and they last so long.
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.
Jackie C u
Thank you! Exactly! I get so sick of how everyone blows SO MUCH MONEY on absolute junk!.. just to be “cool”... it’s so stupid! Invest that money! Save it up! Stop spending everything you make, people!
I would get bored with my wardrobe and accessories if they lasted forever.
1) neutral color clothes
2)pointy shoes
3) simple jewelry
4)entry level designer pieces
5)Invest in bags and shoes
6)vintage pieces
7)natural makeup
8)red lipstick
9)military/leather jacket

I noticed the way I dressed I received different treatments from stores. Interestingly, I worked for a company & the CEO never wore socks, his car looked like it was about to break down, yet he was wealthy! You should try & see if you too would receive different treatment based on how you look.
ur so right about pointy shoes, I believe it really does add another level of class to ur outfit. Also I want to add expensive designer watches also make any outfit look expensive. love ur channel!
Sherene Eid- pointy shoes also elongate the legs 👍🏼 nothing better than a nude pointy heel to make your legs look amazing!
Hi Shea! I really enjoyed your video and I agree with everything that you suggested however I would add just one more thing and that would be well manicured nails. I really believe that your hands are one of the first things that people notice. Thanks for a great video! Hugs! 😘💕👍🏻
Yes - I totally agree!!! That's definitely a great one to add!! :)
Cheryl M p
Cheryl M agreed!!
Absolutely! There's no point in wearing beautiful bracelets or rings if your nails are all chipped or bitten off, and a manicure is very easy to do yourself if you object to paying for one regularly, which I do. I have better things to do with my money and doing my nails once a fortnight only takes around half an hour.
Cheryl M of course! Why didn't I think of that! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I work in a bank and meet people with a few dollars to millions. You can't tell by what a person has on how much money they have !!!!!
so true
Isn't that the point of the video? To not look broke even if you are?
@@reddhawt2378 rite
altheawalk that’s not what this is saying
So True. Banker here
Totally random but for a video idea maybe u should go shopping at Saks or barneys or even a boutique while you're dressed like a slob vs dressed well put together and see what gets you better treatment
Oh wow...That's SUCH a good video idea!!! That would definitely be an experience...
omg YES ! I love that idea ---I know I know a doctor and a few people who live in mansions and yet they dress like they are in rags and they went to a store and people were extremely rude
PhoGenic Josh .....honestly in this day and age of online reviews of bad treatment I think that overall customer srrvice has improved. You better believe if I get snubbed in any way I will ask the clerk's name and see the manager on the spot, just sayin'
PhoGenic Josh yesssss !!
I actually did this as an experiment a few years ago--Long story short I am an attorney, have been working 70hours plus and wanted to dress down on my only day off in months, but still go shopping at Bloomies/Saks/etc.......the salespeople didn't even glance at me , like I was some type of imbacile invading "their" store LOL..........no Hello's, no nothing! Little did they know I had 2K to spend! LOL. I never understood why salespeople are like this ; they make $9.00 to sell clothing, your job isn't that important and prestigious honey.
having white teeth & good posture
Definitely!
Jazmin Valtierra You said it! How you carry yourself is so important, it cannot be stressed enough.
dear you didn't mentioned "Perfume" I think that is the most beautiful feelings ever to feel expensive and even to noticed !
Tahsina Irum Kabir Bhuiyan thts so tru ..i rather splash 150 euro on tht then a scarf
Layne Elliott i disagree i wear expensiv perfum n i dnt over do it .with two sprays behind the ears u are ready to go . I only wear j'adore n i never over do it . .
Great video 😊
Another tips is going all white or all black. White is very clean 🙄
Or mixing black and white.
Black pants and a white blazer with a white top under.
Looks really great
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
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.
Yes! Neutrals always look more expensive!
Yes!! Thank you for watching! :)

Neutrals look more expensive because of your natural coloring. Take somebody with stronger natural coloring and the same shirt will look old and even dirty ;)
Elis Rosa absolutely true. I look best in black and I have indian skin
Nope.
The wealthiest people that I know wear tee shirts and shorts with flip flops... because they INVEST their money.. they don’t blow it all on clothes and accessories in an attempt to appear as wealthy as they are.. I guess they don’t feel the need to prove their wealth to anyone.
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.
Couldnt have said it better myself. My husband and I were just talking about this. The people that are actually wealthy dont usually flaunt it like that. Same with us going to the casino. Hubby and I would go all the time but now that we have better jobs and have money saved up we rarely go because we dont want to blow the money weve been working hard to save. lol
the video's point goes to people who are not that actually rich ok. this video is to enhance their confidence and enjoy a little feeling of some one who would look expensive. This is not to compete with multi millionaire people ok who would like to tone down on their fashion. So why bother take offense or laught about this video if your really rich? If you are really rich though , you might as well would have a richer psychology to other people who aren't rich as you.
@@joshsalcedo8772 sweetie i think YOURE the one taking things out of hand LOL no one is saying there is a compition. And no one is saying that anyone who isnt "rich" should look nice and feel confident. Calm down friend.
I know a millionaire couple, that you wouldn’t never tell by looking at them👇🏼
They wear T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and
Infinite zeros in their banking account. Lol.
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.
'Invest in shoes and handbags' doesn't mean buy Gucci or Chanel. if the best you can afford is Nine West, then buy Nine West or Kenneth Cole or whatever. Buy the best you can afford
and if you can, leather. I love the smell of leather, and I always associate the smell of leather with expensive items.
Sahara no animal skin should not be anything humans wear! Fake leather is way better
indeed, lucie, I actually dont own anything made of leather since I cant afford it. But, I have noticed that people that have money tend to buy stuff made of leather. So, thats. why I have a tendency to associate leather items with wealth in a way. By the way, I used to have a cat named Luciel
Gr8P ph so thats why. Yeah because they want to show of that they can afford it. Luciel is a boys name right? Mine is French because we live near france (in Germany) anf thats why ist prnounced Lücie (luecie) 😊🌈
over here in the USA would be with an l at the and it is a girls name
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.
Shea thanks for sharing your tips.
Goaty Gal&Family
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! 😉
I agree best version of you.
LOL. Yup. 👍🏼
@@CelineRoth Your ex had a lot of class. Understated is key. If he loved his Bentley and Patek Philippe antiques, great!
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.

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!
When was the last time Queen Elizabeth wore neutrals?
Personally I hate the logos. I like something that is of good genuine lasting quality and looks good....dont really care about brands
Really? I guess the Royal family and other Royals are out of the question with makeup and nuetrals .. lol
I won't advertise for anyone. I got rid of every single piece with a logo. Even LV. Ugh.
Stephanie Robertson Brown agreed!
for some reason I love expensive sunglasses I feel like they finish a look nicely 💜
Yes...I definitely agree!
Be CLASSIC it's timeless, elegant and expensive looking.
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.
Sheila Blake oh Sheila, we all don't think like this, lol- we are bombarded with so many ideas here it takes some more time to realize and sift through the nonsense- 🤓
yeah its so interesting, I live in Netherlands and those belts or LV bags are something generally frowned upon. Here usually low class people aspire to have LV bags, Gucci belts and rich people really dont like to show off
Sheila Blake I don’t think it’s necessarily US fashion that’s the problem. I would never wear those because they look tacky and cheap. I would also invest in a nice quality shirt that will last rather than focus on just the color and completely dismissing the fact that it looks like it wouldn’t make it after just one wash.
+Philosvegan: exactly they go for very high quality, luxury no-mainstream brands that only other really rich people can afford and hence can appreciate its uniqueness.
It screams cheap in NYC too. Logos are for people in the ghetto. Most of these youtubers and instagrammers are not from here, their version of chic is what they call "expensive " and they use the word WRONG, it's completey classless. They also don't have a whole lot of personal style, just copycat. That's what I got from this video.
I am new to this channel. 😁 I have not read all the comments below, so perhaps, someone else mentioned this...but I suggest neutral nail polish with square-round shaped natural nails. A nice manicure always looks expensive. 💅🏼
@SKe39 ish - Totally agree.
Shea- try wearing your LV bandeau in your hair for an elegant outdoor event. It will look so elegant and expensive. Also, what lip color are you wearing in this video? It is sensational.
Jennifer McGee I agree, I love the lippie colour...
Some of us can't wear bright red lipstick, I'm a redhead &
I never wear red lipstick...
( I have never even worn any red clothes & I'm 40+.)
Tying a designer scarf/bandeau/twilly to a less expensive label bag is not classy at all, it is very pretentious. Never attach a more expensive scarf to a cheaper bag. The bag should always be more expensive than the scarf etc.
Where is that rule written?
Its all about looks, shiny scarf for shiny bag,,, simpler cotton scarf for everyday leather,, the price of the scarf doesn't matter, texture and fabric however....
I'd buy that scarf and accent something. Maybe she just really likes it, much like I do.
That was my thought also nobody said still but they know you're trying to pretend when you do that actually she's talking to a real young crowd I'm in the middle so some of that stuff does not fit me
Or, just wear whatever you want, because nobody else’s opinion matters but your own.
I came to this chanel to get ideas for a summer wedding, why are you negative nancies soo mean and hateful. She has her fan base which speaks volume. If you ppl have nothing nice to say, ZIP IT!!! Your fingers are working way too hard. I embrace, kindness, love and positivity.
Your post is still negative lol
@@thegrandmasabrina yess 😂😂
U r supposed to look polished, not expensive
So true. dress like you planned your outfit.
stylish might be a better word
Virginia Conway lol. If I looked like I planned my outfit, you’re seeing me at my “I tried my hardest, please don’t say anything rude about my outfit. I actually put a lot of effort into this.” But I still manage to look like crap
@@madisonmorris7394
The best time to put an outfit together is when all your laundry is done. If something doesn't work you just chuck it and replace it. That always works for me.
When I start to run out of clean clothes I start to look frumpy.
Looking polished make u look expensive and aesthetic
Loved your video and your attitude and your look. People have always told me that I have that well put together vibe that looks like I really take care of myself. The funny thing is I lived in a car for 12 years after my husband took everything in a divorce. The rude comments people have left are really unimportant. I think it is sweet that you posted this video and it gives some good tips!
So proud of you!! Blessings to you
It’s so incredible how much better you look as a brunette!! ❤️
You lost me at buying an expensive, tacky logo'd piece instead of what design details make then look expensive. Same as every other youtuber.
As a worker at Bergdorf's, me and my fellow workers all agree that it is the people who look plain that are the ones who pay $10,000 for goods without blinking with cash or a debit card. It is the ones who are covered head to toe, in fashion brands always use a credit card.
That's a very interesting observation, Jacob! I do use a credit card for purchases, but I ALWAYS pay the balance in full each month!!
Shea Whitney Thank you for your reply. I was only meaning general. I trust my words where not rude.
Shea Whitney I also think clothing and items carried which have a clear sign of the fashion house is a clear sign of looking cheap.
people still use cash in 2018? Cashless is the way of life now. Even I don't bring thousand dollars of cash walking around. You are just asking to get robbed. Just swipe debit or credit card.
Ivy It all depends if you are traditional or not and which country you are from. Many shoppers in Bergdorf use cash. I also think the way people use debit or credit cards is kind of uncouth. The way pull out their card from the reader at lightning speed is both rude and a clear sign of being common.
How to look Florida suburban.😂😂😂
I still love my LV reverse monogram bbkbags clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Hi Shea. What a great reminder. Your 10 tips are all "classic"...classy. While I'm almost passed wearing pointy shoes (I'm now looking more for comfort shoes!), I'm glad I'm still on-trend. Thanks!
Same here - I have genetic bunions on both feet (yes, they run in our family). I used to wear lovely heels but now, due to the bunions, I can only wear very soft, pliable shoes. My favorites are now really pretty flats. My mother is a fashionista and it really annoyed her when she got to the place where she had limited shoe choices. She still always looks beautiful and "expensive."
great video. Pearl jewelry also adds to the expensive look.
viansjain I think pearl jewelry is kinda dated now. And it usually looks good on causation women only and with blond hair.
always good for clutching your pearls and gathering yourself after shocking news lol
nat jo uhhhhh, no 🙄.
Yep. Pearls are pretty classic. It might seem a bit vintage, but it does actually work VERY WELL - tested it. You still see them a lot in fancy restaurants and hotels.
nat jo I'm Hispanic and I wear pearls. I'm 16
If you want to look rich in india
1. Wear bright colours
2 . wear all the gold u have
3. Wear loud make up
4. Show attitude to everyone
😆😆😆
😁😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂🙊
lol!!
Different strokes, but so funny
live before u leave laugh 😂
I carry the HIDUPZ. It is the best bag/handbag condup I have ever carried. Lots of room and well made. I have used it for years. No regrets!
I would add pearl earrings and manicured nails (neautrals or any tone of red) Im a subscriber and enjoy your videos! :) Its refreshing to see new video ideas!
neutral colours can look classy but that t shirt your wearing, close up it looks cheap around the neck line and the shoulder seams are not the same one is further down than the other. i like good tailoring and it doesnt have to be to expenisive to get this.
You mean seams, not "seams" right? I actually saw one with seams like that all torn up easy looking at Barneys in Chicago this week for $300 not cheap but faux cheap.
Expensive is relative depending on how much $$$ you have in wealth management.
luna sol if you dont care what people are wearing why on earth are you watcing this vid?
you knew what i meant when i said seems ok seams, however you want to sound smart..buy that shitty sounding expensive faux cheap as that will go with your nature to get cheap shots at peole.
Her bra is showing through her shirt too. Any time that happens ... cheap! 😣
You mean seams, not "seams" right? huh?
GIRL I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU CAN DO IT! TO READ PEOPLES BULLSHIT RUDENESS! UGH! I think your beautiful and classy and if you wear a 200$ shirt or 10 shirt you make it look great! You are lucky and blessed!
Jessica Cavazos I know. I’m like why are all these people hating on this video. I’m like, if you don’t like it, don’t watch people.
I like the way you do your makeup, it's very flattering and doesn't look caked on.
I followed these steps and then I got robbed..
sealover tricia In LA if you look expensive it's not safe. I carry cheap looking bag purposely. I only carry expensive bag on special occasions
Sun Lee probably was a joke 🤣
LOL
sealover tricia Lol 🤣
sealover tricia could have been worst if you got kidnapped for ransom 😂
Wow, these comments.... eye roll.
Money doesn't buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, and a pretty scarf, gray shoes and a wonderful bag and it will always be elegant.
Carolina Herrera
You give good streamlined advice for people who have a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. My further advice is to own whatever you wear; people will be attracted to you. You will appear to be comfortable in your own skin, a rare find today.
I honestly don't know why I'm watching this🤔😂I really don't care about looking expensive
If I have to try to “look” expensive to others just means that their opinions of me are more important than my own. Being a kind and caring person is the best look anyone could have.
Nothing wrong with wanting to present a good image of yourself to the world 🤍
@@sararhianna5411 This is very true, but presenting a good image is not synonymous with looking expensive.
Not a fan of Fast Fashion stores (Zara, H&M, Forever 21 etc) after seeing the Documentary 'The True Cost' 📺🌟
First impressions are extremely important. You can make a good statement with how you carry your self and what and how you wear something.
I think the intensity of “women should be seen and not heard”-esque garbage (in the form of “talk less hunnie”) is so high in these comments because being soft-spoken, docile and practically over-medicated is associated with presenting as more upper class.
To all of these negative commenters speaking their truths - join us in 2018 when you catch up.
Love the comments on this vid...they bring out all sorts of judgement. ....lol 😊
My tip would be to have your nails looking neat. If you can’t get your nails done at a salon at least have them filed and maybe polished a clear or neutral color.
yes I agree, nails are so important - however I am starting to think that "homemade" looks better than done at a salon- as everyone seems to do it. I feel like a well applied nail polish on short and clean nails can look super casual, carefree and elegant. No stickers, no glitter - a simple color applied generously. But that's my opinion :)
New.JANeration yes! I think the same thing! I don’t like the fake overly done look. I like it simple and classy ☺️
Yes babe! Love that you think the same. I am just so tired of seeing all these plasticy sticked nails on everyone. I just can't stop staring and thinking - will they fall of or not?! :D
Shea, I love the way you put life in proper perspective!
Remember some of us are over 60 and Can't follow all of your suggestions. But I love your hints. I now own some pointy black shoes!
Thank You!
This is such a good idea for a video! I'm loving your unique video ideas, Shea - it's so refreshing to see new ideas and not just the same types of videos over and over! You go girl :)
Awe thank you so much!!! That's such a nice compliment :) You're really good at that too!!
Poor people wanna look expensive, rich people wanna look ordinary.
The only actual way to look expensive is buying expensive... adding taky low tier designer accessories to mall clothes only fool yourself, not others. Its a better tip to invest, a good item last for longer and you not need the logo to fake the luxury look. Also because people that buy luxury constantly they avoid looking like a billboard.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *yutulux* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
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.
Thank you for your video, I am a RUclipsr, I enjoyed watching video, what gets me to subscribed is if the other videos on the channel have interesting content that hold value for me or something I can share with others.
I personal enjoyed this video but in my circle of friends would not watch this video only because there focus is different.
My circle is less concerned on looking rich but instead building wealth.
This is why I didn't hit the subscribed button. But I gave you a thumbs up.
I hope this gives a little insight.
Blessings.
Its really good tips shea

I so disagree with the first part
Good grammar also, shows class and sophistication.
So true dear!
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. However, the snobby elitists will notice, and I assume those are the people you are trying to impress when trying to "look expensive." Unfortunately, it won't work on them.
noname exactly you need to wear high end stuff and treat them like shit and change your your designer hand bag on a day to basis and not wearing the same bag, fot that you would need atleast 7 designer handbags,
I just tell any snobby elitist that my friends don’t like me for my purse and sunglasses, they like me because I am not an asshole.
Lies you can get cheap items and NO ONE can tell.
We all want to dress well and be en trend, up to date. Shea's list is great.
A thought from someone who's been around awhile....having class and having money are not the same. Having money comes from your wallet. Having class comes from your heart.
Have you tried All Saints for a leather jacket? They have some really great looking pieces
No I haven't - thank you so much for the suggestion though!! I will look at them! :)
Ironically, the design stuff looks tacky.
Yes. Tacky & assumed fake. Every time I see a Gucci belt or LV bag I assume it's not real.😏

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.
I SHOULD KNOW about women...I am nothing like Shea but I subscribed because she is genuine and an amazing woman. 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? Because we know who the real enemy to women’s progress is....was it men who treated me cruelly for being a combat vet? NO. Was it combat vet men, especially infantry that treated me badly? NO. Was it other women? YES. ALL THE TIME.
I subscribed! You’re doing amazing sweetie! (And THAT, ladies, is how you use the word ‘sweetie’)
Gwendy S This. This!! It was women that made me want to kill my self several years ago. Not men. 😰. I subscribed to Shea too! Good job Shea!! Keep doing what you love and the self aware among us will love you for it!!
You are on to something here. We just can’t take you all seriously. I was watching this for ideas for my wife’s birthday and wondered, ‘what kind of catty bitchy comments will he down here?’ So I scrolled down and wasn’t disappointed.
You ppl are your own worst enemies. You wanna know why you can’t get ahead- look in the mirror. Guys stand up for each other. Chicks actively seek out ways to bring each other down.
Newsflash- IT’S NOT ATTRACTIVE!!!
Well said! Thank you for your comment. I just found Shea’s channel while watching another video, and I decided I will subscribe. Honestly, there is so much judgment, hate and negativity here and in the world. If you are the type of person who sees someone carrying a designer bag and think that person is just “trying to look rich” then you probably have low self-esteem. People always seem to find ways to judge others and act all high and mighty.
go Wendy, you said it for all of us real ladies not women, LADIES XXX
@@mamavswild NICELY SAID, THANK YOU X
How about being valuable instead of looking expensive
My sentiments exactly. Thank you
I would say Shea is both!!
Trust me people that have money they can tell you are wearing cheap clothing, jewelry and everything in combination. You may look well put together but not expensive.
exactly!!
E Cheng yup
so true
Oh yes that’s true.
ohhh l e a v e her alone...b i t c h y meeeow!!..don't WE KNOW who you SNOTTY RICH PEEPS ARE.....it's ok
I've watched your newer videos. Dark hair suits much much much better
Agree with some of this buuuut red lipstick without the heavy eye. Think Parisienne style.. but I’m pretty sure one should still only use one dramatic at a time or it can look like too much going on. And logos are a no go. IMHO, it makes an otherwise really nice piece look inexpensive and tacky. Also, trench coats deserve an honourable mention.
Penelope Freeman-Booth Agree with the trench coat. A good trench coat.
Yes the trench!
NEVER EVER wear high heels with casual shorts, it looks cheap and tacky.
Was thinking that very thing.... ridiculously Tarty...
I agree 100%
Pat Tilley You bet!
Ugh, agreed. It DOES NOT look classy or "expensive"
yes your right and high heeled pointed toe shoes ruin your feet and toes you will find out later in life
The shot of you modeling the monochromatic blush pink look with the diorama bag .... 😍😍😍 so stunning! Also I agree with the neutral makeup style, you hardly see models on the runway in bold looks. A suggestion for you if you feel like stepping out just a tad, replace your dark brown or black eyeliner with a red toned brown, it will still look neutral but totally make the green in your eyes pop! PS I am a subscriber and very frequent viewer. Love your videos 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion of the eyeliner...I will definitely try that actually!! Such a good tip!! I need to order more eyeliner soon anyways...so I'll look for that!!! Thank you for watching my videos! :) XOXO
You are welcome! Something like MAC's eyeliner in Costa Riche would pair so well with your beautiful eyes! Kim Kardashian and Jaclyn hill both use it.
Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
