@90shomeschooler: One of the highest forms of privileged people can get from their parents is learning how to have “the look”. I define “the look” as a middle to upper class preppy aesthetic that communicates some level of wealth and privilege. Obviously, there are people who are projecting wealth by accumulating debt or creating an aesthetic using dupes. But knowing how to project, a certain image is hugely advantageous. #homeschool #deconstruction
My stepmom made sure I had THE LOOK and while I can't stand her, at least she helped me look cute and trendy lol

The clothing can be copied , but the behaviors are the core of the upper middle class .

Literally all "the look" is ... tailored clothes. Get basics and get them tailored to you. That's it. You're welcome.

It’s an example of ‘social capital’.

I think honestly it’s mostly just about being put together. Hair brushed and somewhat done/neat, no messy bun nonsense, a little makeup if that’s your thing. Clothes that are complementary to your shape, etc.

It’s not so much about the clothes as it is the fit body, the hair, the posture. The clothes will vary slightly from region to region.

This does have a lot to do with being homeschooled because you're not so focused on personal presence and social dynamics. I think it's actually a very natural part of social development that gets missed.

It’s not clothing. It’s posture. Eye contact. Confidence. A low key attitude. Self importance without arrogance. You can’t fake it easily if it wasn’t instilled in you as a youngster

Here’s a quick & dirty how to: Slap on a pair of tailored jeans, a symmetrical woven/knit sweater in muted brown and cream tones, hair that’s gently pushed back or a soft waves side part, short rounded nails painted in Essie’s Ballet Slippers, get a good skincare routine that will create glow not wet sweaty look, makeup that’s barely there & is just a wash, good posture, fitted tucked T’s. It’s about blending in & never standing out.

One time I wore a target kids top and cardigan to work and my colleague commented that I look like a celebrity / rich. I think part of it is never leaving the house without my makeup and hair done. I don’t even own a hoodie

Another creator talked about this in the corporate context, and called it polish. But it’s so true. Just the perception that you are polished gets you so far. My parents used to say dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

You dress and act for the life you want, not the life you have. Since I started doing that, I got my dream job and my dream car, making double what I made before. Mindset is everything. People don’t know anything about your past when they meet you. Put that classy costume on, inside and out, and it will take you places

Wow, you are so right. I also realized recently that growing up their kids probably knew each other through their parents before they even get to elementary school, from sports, country clubs, preschool etc before they even get to school. Which would help you a lot to become popular in school

Also, those parents will help their kids financially.

There’s this classroom poster I’ve always hated that says something like, “in 10 years it won’t matter what kind of jeans you wore…” LIES! It matters

For me “ the Look” is like naked. A small exactly fitting top. One necklace. Shorts that fit. No socks and shoes or sandals.

Buy simple, timeless pieces. Neutral colors. White, beige, grey, black. A couple high quality pairs of shoes that can go with everything for each season. No brand names needed (they actually give the opposite vibe) I thrift most of my stuff and have curated this look. Simple makeup. Clean hair. Minima jewelry.

Lauren Conrad (and all of those 00's reality shows) had variations of The Look

It’s a form of social capital that more people need to understand. classic styles can go a long way. People are so focused on being individuals and making a statement that they don’t realize that they could be limiting their earning potential.

The thing about “the Look” is that the better you are at achieving it, the less authenticity you present with. We are much better served by developing a look that is unique to ourselves.
