[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good posture. Do not slouch, hold your back erect, shoulders back and extend your neck. It sounds silly and old fashioned, you will feel stiff/fake at first but you will look fabulous.  
Good quality clothing in simple cuts and solid colors. Nothing torn, saggy, faded, or stained. Focus on black, taupe, grey. Natural fibers look best. 
Do not use a clothes dryer, you clothes will wear faster and fade.
A good quality white shirt that has been tailored to fit
The best quality shoes you can afford. At lease one pair of heels and one pair of flats
Buff or polish your shoes every day
Stop wearing makeup and start caring for your skin. You might look like hell for a while but it will force you to get flawless skin which screams wealth 
Push back your cuticles, hands and feet every night after your shower. No polish. Short, clean nails always. 
One good trench coat always clean and pressed
Silk scarf
Cashmere blend shawl

This is great advice for elderly [/quote]

Not just good advice for the elderly. My grandmother told me this when I was 18 and I have stuck to it as far as my closet's baseline. I do add in a few new and fun pieces each season, but my closet is built around high quality, well made basics. Add that to a fresh hair cut, manicured (not usually polished and definitely not vibrantly polished nails), and a good skin care regime and it all comes together. I think a large part of how we project ourselves is based on how we perceive our current appearance. If I leave the house in workout clothes and a messy bun, I'm probably slouching and sloppy. If I leave the house in a nicely pressed dress with a good pair of shoes, I'm going to stand a little straighter, make more eye contact, and project more confidence. [/quote]
