There's a certain advantage to looking and dressing rich and this doesn't require spending yacht-loads of cash. Style isn't dictated by how much you spend; rather, it's all about how you use the items you've purchased. Below are some ways to achieve a champagne look on a beer budget:

1) Invest in clothes wisely.

A third of your clothes should include expensive but quality pieces, which you can wear for different events and occasions, according to Sylvia Di Guisto, an expert on image consulting. While these pieces might cost more money, their quality can last for many uses, which is better than buying several inexpensive pieces that will wear and tear faster. If your budget isn't giving you much wiggle room, Di Guisto advices checking out designer outlet stores like The Outnet.

2) Go for flawless grooming.

"The worst grooming transgressions include: dirty hair, stained clothes, dandruff-dusted shoulders," according to the "Dressing Rich" guidebook, per Into The Gloss. This doesn't mean you will have to splurge on makeup and beauty products, but keeping yourself clean and well-groomed - down to the fingernails - should be a daily habit.

3) Mind the details.

Buttons, seams and stitching on your clothes should be properly done as a badly sewn garment could indicate you're wearing something of cheap quality. Shoes must always remain well-polished and clean, and the same goes for accessories like handbags, watches, and wallet or cellphone cases. Their quality and materials should be well-kept and have little embellishment as this will only give others the wrong impression.

4) Stick with a "less is more" mentality.

Showing off too much jewelry or dousing yourself in perfume or cologne aren't common practices among the truly wealthy. Instead, go for a subtle and understated style to blend in rather than draw attention to yourself. "The really wealthy are usually not the ones who wear the most expensive clothes, have the latest handbags, or drive flashy cars. In Martha's Vineyard, you see a lot of people who live in houses that sell for $10 million driving ten-year-old Toyotas," said one plastic surgeon via Reader's Digest.

5) Get lots of sleep to develop better skin.

While it might seem like rich people have blemish-free, glowing and fresh-looking skin, there's no reason a person earning an average income can't enjoy the same. Sometimes, having good skin is the result of expensive cosmetic treatments, but you can achieve the same look by adapting a healthy lifestyle, which includes getting the right amount of sleep regularly. "If you remove things like sun exposure, smoking, bad diet (dairy and sugar), drink lots of water, and sleep more, your skin will improve," said Park Avenue Skin Solutions' Lauren Abramowitz, via Refinery29. "That's the cheapest way to look great."
