  1. Choose the image you wish to portray. Think about what everyone admires and is attracted to. Consider both appearance and lifestyle. There are many ways to be glamorous.
  2. Focus on quality over quantity to demonstrate wealth. Stop buying inexpensive things and save that money to buy fewer but more expensive things. Instead of having three different dresses, for example, invest in one expensive, high-quality dress and wear it often. Take care of your expensive possessions, as they are critical in portraying an image of glamour.
  3. Dress to impress.
    Wear clothes that accentuate your glamorous image. You have a lot of leeway here, but the important thing is to be consistent. If you want to be fashionably glamorous, for instance, wear trendy clothes all the time--don't wear the latest fashion one day and sweatpants the next. Wear things that complement you and your body shape.
  4. Take up unique and interesting hobbies. You may not be able to hop on a jet and lounge on a Brazilian beach just like that, but you can be selective in your activities. If you want to lead the glamorous life of an artist, for example, it's more fitting to hang out in coffee shops discussing art history with like-minded people till the early hours of the morning than to go bar-hopping.
  5. Incorporate elements of glamour into your public life. Remember that since being glamorous is about creating a fantasy, you only have to be glamorous when you are seen by others. Every time you step outside your home into the public eye, strive to convey your image of glamour. Imagine that you have photographers following you around all day--if they're snapping pictures, what do you want them to capture? And is it glamorous?

  6. Find qualities about you that you like and find a way to show them off. This way you will find a way to be confident about yourself, even if it is for a reason you would have never thought of.
  7. Go to the most expensive stores. Even if you don't have enough money to actually buy things from there, the simple idea of being spotted frequenting one of those places is glamorous itself. This also works for other places like fancy restaurants, nightclubs and so on.
  8. Always look your best when going out. Be sure that there is nothing about you for which you can be considered low maintenance. Take care of your skin, hair and teeth and try wearing designer stuff (get at least one designer item, it will considerably raise your status).
  9. Decorate your home in a tasteful manner. Choose expensive-looking furniture and decorations, buy famous art pieces (if you afford) and go for classic style in decorating.
