There are youtube videos on how to look high end without spending a lot. Basically shop out of the J. Crew and Ann Taylor Loft catalogs. Buy the brands they wear Shop the stores where they shop. Keep your hair trimmed and you make up minimal. Go for the classic/prep look.

Remember that the no makeup look is only a look. You need light foundation, blush, mascara and something neutral on your lips to look like you are not wearing much. A lot of people go without, which does not look as polished, no matter how pretty you are.

I'm pakistani-born here, totally get what you are going for OP. I dress like that b/c i went to prep school and that is all i know and feel comfortable in. The pakistani fashion look right now is copied from middle eastern women- its not really authentic, my grandma only wore surma and lipstick, my mom is a natural beauty who never wore more than lipstick and eyeshadow/mascara. The super heavy middle eastern style make up plus the brand name closes are very common now for Pakistanis- very dubai return. The french manner is much more akin to classic Pakistani style and looks good on us with our darker complexions and hair.

You need to take care of your skin and practice a good "no make up" make up look with neutrals. Get a nice haircut and make sure your highlights aren't orange- if you want some go for a dark, shiny chocolate brown. Invest in good hair and skin care and a toned body. The clean look comes from being healthy and not 'sloppy' with extra jiggles. Oh and get a compression bra and boy shorts to eliminate panty lines.

clothes- I'd tell you to go to J. crew but be careful, their quality has fallen a lot, talbots/J. Jill have more generously cut clothing that will look good on our curvier shapes. My sister is a more bohemian dresser than me and she loves J.jill and Peruvian connection. Honestly- i think like 60% of my wardrobe is Everlane. I like LL Bean b/c its so cozy and comfy but the LL bean only looks good on 'skinny' days. I like to dress modestly- not be very sexy and so this works for me as my natural style but that isn't for everyone. I think what you are drawn to is that its more natural, so you should just do that. I get cashmere sweaters and jeans from Uniqlo. I actually love my heritage but it doesn't all have to be shiny- I wear plain leather, with no embellishment pakistani joothas (men's kussa) with my jeans and a white button up all the time. Add a nice watch and one other piece of jewelry plus a scarf and you have a perfect outfit. Cup of Jo's style section has some good inspiration if you are sick of the 'Dubai Return' look.

If you are looking to splurge- Cuyana has really nice classic stuff. Thats my husband's go to for gifts for me. Want les Essentials and Clare V have nice purses/shoes that are good quality without being over the top. Madewell has reasonable priced nice stuff as well. if you want to add some rock and roll edge - get some docs/converse and pair with cropped khakis/jeans and an oxford shirt. If its cold- throw on a peacoat/parka/leather jacket/ cashmere or merino sweater. really- look up french girl style and you have the perfect clean natural style you are looking for that is also reflective of your own personality.

I hope this was helpful!


Not OP but this is a great post!


I agree. But why the compression bra??


As a large chested woman who is straight up and down, I have gotten the message loud and clear that boobs are fat and fat is worthless
Big boobs are only OK on people in entertainment or whatever, the rest of us who have them "look sloppy".

I love the clean polished high end look of the waspy blonde white women.

How can I achieve a similar aesthetic with my skin tone and build?


White people don't own the preppy look or high end look so do you really just want to look like a polished blonde white woman?

I am Indian BTW, and Pakistani women have the best sense of style and fashion in the subcontinent, so I am amazed at your query.


If you were actually an indian you would be pretty well mannered and gracious before you came here. Perhaps you need to ask the kind and lovely indian women in this country what you have obviously failed to learn in India.

Why so nasty pp? I know lots of Pakistanis because my husband is Pakistani. I don't think you can generalize about this sort of thing. Some look nice and others do not. It usually comes down to how much extra money someone has.
