I decided to change the title to Attracting a Millionaire Husband, rather than staying with the Virgin Bride, since preference for virgin brides may be from a certain culture's preference - it may not be widely agreed with. And afterall, I am talking about how to dress in such a way that gives a girl a better exterior. So, in this entry I will talk about dressing.
There is a difference in dressing and grooming styles between the cultured and rich, and people who are not so privileged. Here's a list of hints that will give a person the impression of wealth and culture:
- think classy rather than trendy in style
- colours: neutrals rather than bold. If bold, not too often, and not too many, unless you are in the entertainment industry. I've mentioned in the previous post how millionaire men, at least in China, do not want someone who flaunts herself in PR or entertainment industry. So dressing to be the suportive woman requires her to be subtle and classy
- knee length to long skirts. Forget about minis
- elegant pumps, rather than wedged heeled boots
- fine knits, rather than sweatshirts and t-shirts
- fine metallic jewellery, preferably gold, silver or platinum. Plastics and fakes are not cool
- precious stones, peals and semi-precious stones. Please - nothing too big or obviously big.
- sleek, sophisticated hairdos, nothing big, teased or obviously dyed
- silk stocking is a staple. Not leggings
- fitted, tailored clothing. Think of a tailored suit.
- subtle make up that enhances beauty, rather than dramatic make up. For example, a fine well drawn line from eyeliner rather than a big, bold smokey eye
- clothes made of luxurious, natural material, rather than plastic
- classic perfumes, rather than popular, trendy perfumes. Think of Miss Dior or Shalimar rather than products from J. Lo or Hilary Duff.
In a nutshell, think timelessness, classy and simplicity rather than "in" for the season.
Role models? Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
