What should I wear to make people believe I grew up rich?
Specifically: that I grew up rich. Not that I have lots of money.
Prep seems to be the way to go, but a lot of it looks like a caricature of the real thing, and I want to be subtle.
What do you think, /fa/?

I have grown up rich, some of my friends come from insanely wealthy families, they just dress like normal people, sometimes someone buys something expensive for them. But none of them like to show it off.
They can show it off by owning houses and stuff.

>> No.9669398

literally the only way is if you get the fuck off of this board and wear whatever you want
old money doesn't give a fuck about they wear because they're busy doing other cool shit like jet skiing and their mom buys their clothes for them while they're vacationing in the middle of of the year

If you're trying to fit in at fx prestigeous school. Alright. If you're just being a retard, who wants to seem cooler, don't even try.

However, here are my tips.

1. New Money and Old Money wear the same things.
2. Old Money is a family tree of wealthy people, which means they have integrated high social class behaviour, whereas New Money will have the social class behaviour they had, before they became rich.

That should make it easier for you.

>> No.9669409

I grew up practically a millionaire.
My pops wears Armani, Joop and Hugo Boss, basically every polo ever made lol
Higher class brands but not too much.

Really people who have money do not care about this stuff.
Rather buy something nice for the house or go on a better vacation than last year. Yea.

I can understand that. I know that, for example, bling is completely off the table.
But I'd like to send a quiet message. I have motivations that real rich people don't: call it insecurity if you like, but I see it as looking for respect anyone should get, but which tends to be reserved for the wealthy.

Why spend money on clothes too look rich when you can't get into places rich people can, get tables at high class restaurants, invitations to exclusive parties et.c? You will never behave like a rich person, you will never give signs that you're a rich person. Being rich is not about showing off your clothes you know.

What do they say, you can talk the talk but you cant walk the walk? or whatever.

This is stupid. Some new and old money people may wear full Rick, some may wear Nike Air Monarchs. My ex girlfriend is old money and she pretty much only shopped at Zara and All Saints. They wear what they like and what they can afford which is pretty much anything. You should do the same. I used to wear outfits that cost me £3000, I stopped because I couldn't buy it on a whim and not feel like a prick, and my house and car don't look as if I should be spending such an amount on clothes. I sold them, purchased a car and now I just wear Ralph Lauren, Cos, Our Legacy and Thom Browne. Funnily enough I get more respect wearing that than I did wearing full Saint Laurent. Dress respectably, groom so you appear respectable, but be subtle. That way you may actually be respected.

True.
But I'm about halfway there as far as walking the walk goes, and in any case I'm not really going for the jetset look or lifestyle (despite the literally jetset picture I posted.)
I'm content with a low-key upper-middle class with a long pedigree sort of lifestyle. Spacious country house with a big garden, maybe also a flat in the city. Not so much private jets. Etc. That's "rich" compared to what I come from.

No matter what you wear, people are just going to think you're trying to look rich, unless you're legitimately wearing outfits worth thousands of dollars. Convincing people you grew up rich isn't about what you wear, it's about how you conduct yourself. It's incredibly difficult to fake because you need to do it so confidently that people will believe you've been that way your whole life. Since you're asking strangers on an anime image board, then I doubt you have the charisma required to be that convincing

i'd say just wear preppy things. It should be about your clothes, not about showing off. I've heard a lot of people say here that they generally see richt people wear sloppy shit, but that may be because they don't particularly like coördinating their clothes. I come from a fairly rich family, where people appreciate others who dress well.

You can ofcourse wear expensive shit, but i've found that you just have to look out for branding that's not that obvious. wearing a full fucking louis vuitton uniform will just make people think that you're either white trash or a nigger.

Check out the prep threads, they usually have sockless people who don't shave.

If you are super hairy with dark hair you might want to trim the area but honestly I wouldn't worry

That being said if you don't feel confident wearing it you shouldn't
