/fa/ - Fashion

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

>Money speaks, wealth whispers.
Do your own assumptions from there.

>>9486969
So basically, wearing impossibly rich fits that no one has even heard of? Bespoke, all custom, whatever you want to call it?

>>9486978
no you fucking idiot.
It means you should avoid branding at all times and don't try to hard to look rich.

>>9486978
>that no one has even heard of
Pretty sure 99% of high fashion brands are brands that no one has ever heard of. You seriously think that anyone but a minority knows Balmain, Lanvin, Paul Smith, MMM etc? The only reason shit like Prada and Gucci are well known is marketing. The only thing you have to pay attention to is by not pushing the brand into other peoples faces with shitty Burberry raincoats or brand names plastered all over your glasses.

>>9486878
>If you have to ask, you're poor

>>9486978
>wear a rolex, don't go on and on about how you have a rolex
>wear expensive clothing like it's just any other clothing
>wear expensive shoes like any other pair of shoes
>wear expensive things without acting like they're expensive

Sadly, I'm poor, I only wear my expensive clothing if I have a damn good reason because if I fuck it up, I probably won't immediately replace it.

>>9487369
I am the person you replied to, and until the second arrow I thought you knew who I was.


I wear a Rolex Submariner 16610, and moderately expensive clothes. Certainly not anything /fa/ approved, but more expensive than your average person is probably willing to drop.

>>9487391
oh, anyway, I really don't think that means much. People who can drop money consistently on burberry, Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, Saint Laurent and other brands at and above that stratosphere have skewed interpretations of luxury.

People on /fa/ contemplate fits, but really truly rich people just buy them without consideration.

>>9487403
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to have that much money.

>>9487447
It probably makes them paranoid because they are watching trends and constantly trying hard to not look like they are trying hard.

>>9487447
its nice

>>9487391
v average watch bro

there is no distinction anymore friend

can you cop wealthcore gear on grailed?

>>9490628
why would you want to?

>>9491044
cant afford new designer clothes =((

>>9491468
you really need designer clothes to feel good about yourself?

>>9491513
No, but I enjoy wearing nice clothes, also helps with women.

Wealthcore has changed my life.

>>9491592
Those are called golddiggers bro, as soon as they find out you're not as rich as you look they're gone

Pretty sure it's average looking casual but neat clothes but with one nice expensive item like a watch or expensive sunglasses or something.

>>9491608
I don't care, I am looking for hookups not a relationship, I'm a Freshman in college.

>>9492456
Are you literally 18? Fuck off, scrub

>>9492497
Yeah I am, your point?

>>9486872
nice watch

>>9493907
Thanks.

>>9487391
>>9489246

Not the watch owner, but I'd hardly consider a watch that retails for 8k average.

>>9494182
A black submariner is the most generic watch ever sold. It is a great watch, but nothing to write home about.

Do these guys look wealthy? They are the true essence of wealthcore.

Why does Warren Buffet live in a 5 bedroom stucco house in Omaha instead of a castle in France or Beverly Hills?

Why does Ingvar Kamprad still drive a Volvo from the 70's and doesn't have a limousine?

Why did Steve Jobs wear sneakers and fugly jeans paired with a turtleneck?

Because they are wealthy and once you go from rich to wealthy money loses it's "value". You - anon - want to buy a Rolex or a fancy suit or a Ferrari, because it tells people about your social status. Once you are wealthy, you don't need objects to show off your wealth. The wealth kinda becomes a burden on you, because you don't know how people will react to you being filthy rich. You can never know whether someone befriends you because of your money or because they are sincere. And it becomes kinda awkward, when you suggest to your friend a 70$ brunch like it would be buying a Big Mac from MickeyD's and they tell you that you live in a different world.

That's the reason why wealth whispers and money talks. When you have just gotten it, it's new and exciting. When you've always had it, it's just a tool to achieve goals in life (and a little burden if your friends don't have as much as you do).

>>9494587
this guy again

holy shit go away

>>9486872
Quite unrelated, but what do you all think of the idea that money enhances stupidity? I've only really gotten to know a handful of properly rich people in my life (my job gets me in contact with wealthy folk all the time), but in my experience all of them have either been a bit dumb or just ignorant. Meanwhile, the drop-out who helped me change my indicator bulb at the auto store today was sharp and bright, while obviously coming from a poor background and not having much education.

Maybe it's just coincidence, or maybe I'm forcing it, but the only intelligent people with money I've met are those who earned that money themselves through a lifetime of hard work and are now 60+

>>9495078
I come from a pretty wealthy family and went to a private school where I got to know many other wealthy kids.

It was split between very smart people (I like to consider myself in this category) and very dumb people. I think overall wealthy people are smarter as they have more opportunities for education and more culture due to travel.

>>9495078
i think that people who have been raised by rich people are more relaxed about their education
not all of course, but a lot of them feel it isn't neccesairy to make their own way in the world, they'll just thrive off their parents success

some see the fault in this, but even they won't have the motivation that people who come from a poor background do

>>9486978
Old tweed jacket that is nevertheless bespoke.
Old, re-soled boots that were made to measure in fine leather.
Dad's bespoke tux.
Old bespoke shirts with new collars and cuffs made with cloth from its tail.
No bling unless it was received as a gift.
Never cutting edge, but because of that, never dated either.
Never obvious - no rolex, no montblanc, no logos.

>>9495317
No, this is 80's wealthcore. Rich people don't dress this way anymore.

>>9495335
Well, I mean old money more so than just rich people. But my sources are dated.
Any suggestions on where I should look for up-to.date info?

>>9495391
Trust me I run in circles with a lot of old money folk, and they generally dress however they like. After I graduated boarding school with a lot of my friends they dropped the "prep" look and started dressing more casually when not wearing a suit for their jobs. Look at the wealthcore general, I know people who dress in pretty much any of those styles.

>>9495441
Huh. Well, to ask a very specific question, do they dress in unexpectedly low-key ways?
As I understand it, that's always been the key to the old money look: expensive stuff that is not obviously expensive, worn carelessly and casually. Even if they've abandoned argyle.

>>9495466
i have a friend who is way too wealthy

he dresses in crocs and band tees
yea
also flip flops are a big part of his outfit

>>9495466

Because they don't have to prove anything to anyone. And also it's just ugly-tacky and very new money when u show off brands etc

Feigning wealth. Ultimate plebcore.

>>9486872
welathcore is the way of dressing like you have more money than sense

>>9495466
Speaking for myself, I tend to wear very high quality but unbranded clothes.

I have oldmoney friends that dress anywhere from Steve Jobs to Floyd Mayweather.

>>9495663
what a coincidence, those are my two favorite designers too

>>9495466
>old money look
you realize normal people don't care about creating a look and they don't care about fashion, right?
you're too engulfed in your little fashion bubble to realize that 99% of people don't care about designers and they just wear clothes because they're clothes

>>9495671
ya im sure thats why every basic bitch has a michael kors bag, designer and branding mean nothing to the average person

>>9495671
Please drop your trip and go shitpost over on reddit.

>>9495678
forgot uggs and lululemon

OP here, I still have no idea what the fuck it really is. It sounds cool but it needs to be defined.

>>9496132
It is anything that in any way possible states that the person wearing said garments is wealthy.

It can be loud with many brands (this is generally considered poor taste and bad wealthcore) or it can be high quality but muted clothes with one logo at the very most. If you see someone and instinctively think that they are well off, you were probably influenced by their dress- this is wealthcore.

It isn't confined to any sub-style either, wealthcore fits can be streetwear, prep, #menswear, ect. It includes high end pajamas to bespoke tuxedos.

The fit has to make sense too; meaning that wearing a rolex and full h&m isn't wealthcore as people would likely think that the watch is a fake.

In closing, use your own judgment to decide if it is /wealthcore/ or not.

>>9496181
Thanks, took long enough.

>>9492497
ahahah you're such a twat it's unreal

>>9492509
keep going my friend
