Luxury Fashion Is For Broke People

  To be clear, the rich often still do wear items with the logo all over it. Everyone has their own style. The point is that these luxury items are no longer exclusive to the rich, in fact many luxury brands make up over half their revenues from the middle class! Nobody is judging you for wearing what you like, the point is that these brands have benefited from significant growth by targeting those in the middle and lower class. These luxury items are now engrained into our culture as status symbols of financial and social security and for many, have become essential to own.

  The rich are not like you or me. They compete among themselves with yachts, jewels, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we are on the subway or in the bus with our prized Louis Vuitton. 😂

  Going to bed knowing your bank account has enough money to pay all your bills for the next six months feels a lot better than any attention for a luxury label<br>Edit One Year Later: This opinion seems quite prescient given that we now know the majority of “luxury” branded items are no more than an emblem on a Chinese slave produced, low quality product

  &quot;Luxury brands destroy their excess inventory to create scarcity.&quot;<br>Genius and disgusting at the same time.

  Buy because you like it, not because you think everyone else will.

  As someone who owns a home and is middle class I must say: not having a landlord is a luxury I could never give up

  When I was younger and broke, I wished I had a LV. Now that I can afford one, I completely lost interest.

  The richest guy I knew, a former MS vice president, looks like a ordinary man, wearing worn jeans and sneakers, driving a &nbsp;rusty 2004 Toyota Hilux. He is sponsoring some 10 food banks in his city, financing 25 guys snd gals from underprivileged families &nbsp;a university degree &nbsp;and does not talk about that. We need more of guys like him.

  As usual, these type of informative videos will never reach the idiots who need it the most.

  Born into a relatively well off family, it can summed up as this: Bragging that you just ate at a fancy restaurant to a rich person is like a beggar bragging that he just went to McDonalds the other day. <br><br>That&apos;s why, when mingling with wealthy people, absolutely do not wear something that reveals the brand so brazenly. Wanna wear Louis Vuittton? Go ahead, but just know that real rich people would not be impressed at all if you shout it out to them<br><br>The trend is that the elites always wear something obscure and custom made. Sure, they go to Dior and the like, but the real treasure is finding a relatively unknown but skilled master tailor, and comission them. Conversations in wealthy gatherings often revolve around this process of &quot;finding new talent&quot;, usually for investment and patronage matters (or at least this is what&apos;s popular in my country)

  I worked for really rich people, personally spending time working with them made me understand that real wealth doesn’t mean expensive items. They drive the most regular and boring cars, dressing clothes with no branding or flashy logos. You see them in the streets and you’ll never think about how rich those guys really are. They have properties, businesses, assets that if you don’t ask or know them, you’ll never know the money they move and that’s when you know someone is really wealthy, their money speaks for them. Not their shoes or bags

  I utterly refuse to buy items that have the brand’s name plastered all over it. It’s cringe. Also I would never in a million years pay 400 USD for a t-shirt.
