Get the ‘stealth wealth’ look… for less: Forget designer logos, the new super-rich prefer to look elegantly understated, like the stars of TV’s Succession. And you don’t have to be a billionaire to look a million dollars
Want to look like a billionaire? Forget flashy logos, It bags and red-soled Louboutins. Today’s super-rich are all about ‘stealth wealth’ style: a subtle, luxurious look as displayed in Sky Atlantic’s hit TV show FEMAILは、Shivの「アンチブリング」をチャネル化する方法を明らかにします. Rumoured to be based on media tycoon ルパート・マードック’s family, the female lead, Shiv Roy — said to be modelled on Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth — is queen of stealth wealth fashion. While Shiv’s budget is stratospheric, you can recreate the chic simplicity of this look on the High Street…

1 Stick to chic neutrals
Stealth wealth style has a strict palette of subdued neutrals: クリーム, taupe, グレー, charcoal, navy and all the shades of beige, from pale biscuit to rich caramel. (Beige isn’t boring. Beige is rich.)
Massimo Dutti should be top of your list for wool blend turtlenecks (…ファッションスタイリストのジョアン・トゥーランのちょっとしたお迎え …ファッションスタイリストのジョアン・トゥーランのちょっとしたお迎え あなたを笑顔にすることを保証します, massimo dutti.com), silk blouses (from £69.95) and wool trousers (£89.95) in shades from pale ecru to tobacco. The White Company, as the name suggests, also lives and breathes tasteful neutrals. Invest in super-soft alpaca knitwear there for less than £100.
2 Slip on a silky blouse
Stealth wealth dressing is never overtly sexy. But a half-tucked-in silk shirt with a few buttons judiciously undone can look tastefully alluring.
Jigsaw has silk blouses with concealed buttons that are machine-washable (左の写真), while Uniqlo has slightly sheerer silk blouses (£59.90, thesummeredit.com) if you are feeling more risque. Wear your silk blouse with some delicate gold necklaces peeking out for the ultimate luxe look.
3 Natural fabrics only, お願いします

Stay away from manmade fibres. Fabrics should be all natural: cashmere, silk, Merino wool, コットン. M&S has cashmere roll-necks for £89 that can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle. Invest in a cashmere comb (sold on Amazon for £5) to keep your cashmere un-bobbled.
Head to Cos for organic cotton shirts (from £45, thesummeredit.com) and pure wool knitwear, from dresses (thesummeredit.com) to vests (£69).
4 Embrace minimalism
Opt for minimalist accessories. Look-at-me designer bags are out. A simple shoulder bag from The Row will set you back circa £2,000 but you can snap up one from Mango for £69.99 (右の写真).
Ditto, skyscraper designer stilettos are out. A pair of black, knee-high Jil Sander boots are £1,080 but Mango has a pair for £139.
5 Try a ‘power polo neck’
Want to look as good as Succession’s Shiv Roy in a polo neck? The trick is to go for a fine-knit rather than super chunky or fluffy style. Bonus points for wearing a simple pendant over the top, a la Shiv. For lightweight wool turtlenecks with a subtle exposed seam detail, head to & Other Stories (available in black and beige, £45, stories.com).
Or try the navy ribbed merino wool roll-neck from Hobbs (右の写真) with subtle gold button detailing on the cuffs.
6 Keep your coat classic

Pop the technicolour faux fur number back into the wardrobe. 代わりに, go for a well-cut, double-breasted coat; old-school trench; or simple wrap-over style.
The M&S Autograph wool wrap coat in camel (写真) looks far more expensive than it is, 一方 & Other Stories hits the mark with a wool coat in a shade it calls mole (春だと言う方法, stories.com). These classics will serve you well for years.
