How to achieve that neat clean look rich people have?

[Anonymous]

There was a woman in her 60s on my flight in business class ($5000/seat). Even before we boarded, I noticed that she looks attractive and well-groomed. Nothing in her clothes looked especially pricey (a white blouse and some pants), but overall she looked very stylish.

Or anyone, really, that I've ever met. Lawyers, doctors, consultants, etc. Everyone has these glossy glamorized version of themselves online when IRL you get the messy bun, chipped nail polish reality.

Sounds like my mother. I am very unlike her. Though we wear similar clothing from the same brands, she is always neat and -- my whole life -- I just get messy easily. My shirt always comes untucked, my hair curls wildly despite treatments, my shoes get scuffed, you name it ... it happens to me. I'm like Pig Pen while she's 100% put together, always. No clue how she does it despite my efforts to replicate many of her habits.

-Be thin and prioritize healthy diet (yes, diet actually does make your skin clearer and glowing)
-Tretinoin, face peels, lasers
-Salon for their hair (gloss treatments, good hair color, blow outs)

You pay professionals to do small things for you like tailor your clothing, groom your brows, etc.

I have several relatives on my dad's side of the family who are wealthy, at least by DC standards, and they always look perfectly elegant. I think the main thing is their clothes always fit perfectly and look very high end. They seem to shop exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Saks.

The older women have wrinkles and look their age, but their faces always have this shiny face thing going on - their skin always looks super moisturized and glowy. I'm sure they spend a ton of money on dermatologist treatments and skin care.

Same with me and my mother. Doesn't help that she's five foot nine and thin as a rail, while I am five foot nothing and stocky!

Google "quiet luxury".

Just tretinoin can achieve that. I have incredible skin due to using tret for years.

Teeth. You need good teeth.

2) clothes tend to be simple and well tailored
3) They don’t show too much skin and/or are selective with what they show
4) frequent trips to the salon to get their hair cut, colored and bow dried. Frequent keratin treatments if they need them.
5) Frequent manicures and pedicures. Colors are muted and their nails tend to be relatively short
6) Have a good cosmetic dermatologist and plastic surgeon. Get Botox and fillers but go for a more natural/subtle look so you aren’t able to tell.
7) Cleaners, nannies and maids so they have time to do all of the above.

Like straightening treatments? They don't lookgood on me, but I did see none of those people have frizzy hair.

It's the way you fidget and move? My son is slow and deliberate in everything he does, and his clothes tend to be neat and clean. My daughter is a whirlwind of activity and she spills and messes and her shirt comes untucked.

I think there’s some truth to the way you move. My mother in law lives in NYC on Park Ave. She does not workout or even take long walks, only car service. She’s insane about her diet and skin products. Gets her hair done four days a week. Has her people at her stores that pick out all of her clothing, along with a stylist. Outsourcing, not moving and starving yourself pretty much seem to do it.

Nothing about the people in the photos stands out, and that might be what seems unusual (read: aspirational) to you. No tans, neither yellow nor blindingly white teeth, no fashion that shows what decade the photo was taken in, clothes are neither too tight nor too big, jewelry is there but not flashy, etc. Classic takes a middle road.
