Every one of us wants a luxe life. But only the top 10% of the population can afford to live this way but fret not; there are things you can do to live a charmed life without spending millions of dollars on it. In this article, we’ve narrowed down some four effective luxury lifestyle tips that you can do to make it seem like you’re on top of the world. Here are the things you need to do:
Buy a mechanical watch, but not the most expensive ones
Every single rich person in the world owns a luxury watch. Most of them are mechanical ones, of course, but there is also quartz in there. Owning a mechanical watch says a lot about your taste. It means you value the art as well as the level of craftsmanship enough to spend money on it. Listen, there are cheap mechanical watches out there, but if you want to look regal, you’d need to spend some money on them.
Look for brands like Oris, Hamilton, and Seiko. You don’t need to have a Rolex or Omega, as they both basically make you look like you’re trying too hard. Especially, when you don’t have the financial capability of getting one. Oris, for example, has a lot of great collections you can choose from – the Aquis, Sixty Five, and Big Crown, to name a few. If you have the money, get one in every collection so that you’ll have numerous mechanical watches to sport on every occasion.
Embrace minimalism
A cluttered living space is the hallmark of mediocrity. To make your living conditions look and feel luxurious, freeing some space and using that space for nothing can actually elevate it. In this regard, the old adage “less is more” is applicable. That means stripping your living space until it screams luxury.
Declutter. Always remember that people living the luxurious life rarely have clutter and messiness in their homes. If you don’t have the time to sort your things out yourself, you can hire someone to do it for you. Trust us, hiring a professional will save you time and money in the long-run.
Invest in quality clothing
Here is an absolute truth when it comes to always put your best foot forward: quality clothing is essential. And no, you don’t need to buy branded and designer brands to impress, the point is, your clothing should scream quiet elegance. Have a stack of basic shirts that fit you well. Pants, whether its dress, chinos, or jeans, should also effortlessly cling to you like its second skin.
The one tried and true trick to always looking good is the fit of what you’re wearing. Find brands that cater to your specific build, and consistently buy from them. If you’re the corporate type who needs to wear a suit every day, you can get an off-the-rack three-piece and get it custom-tailored. If you can spend a little bit more, go to your local haberdashery and ask for quotes for bespoke suits.
Always make yourself look good
The more you take care of yourself, the more you’ll look like a million bucks. Find a great skincare regimen. Stick to it. Then, spice it up a little every now and then by adding serums and actives that can brighten your skin. Taking care of the outside starts with the largest organ in your body, and that’s the skin. An even skin tone, no matter the color, screams high-maintenance. That’s what you should be aiming for.
Exercise regularly. Take time out of your busy schedule to sweat. Enroll in a gym and keep yourself in tip-top shape. If you don’t have the gut, your shirts and pants will cling to you better. Having a bit of muscle also makes everything look effortless. Don’t scrimp on eating the right food, either. And lastly, take a multivitamin every day.
Takeaway
Living luxuriously is more of a mindset than a lifestyle. The richest among the rich actually do not spend money on frivolous things; they spend it on things that matter to them. Embracing your inner self is also a theme, and more and more people realize that in order to look rich, they need to become one with themselves first. So go ahead, indulge in what you want, and look luxurious in the process.
