when will talking about this topic ever end (it won't)
kinda sad if this is really what billionaire stealth wealth-ers are buying
10 hot summer fits to wear to the guillotine
The $25k vicuña jacket looks pretty nice tho.
worth feeling vicuna in Loro Piana stores, very cozy stuff
also thousand dollar socks
something ive noticed lately about the rise of stealth wealth and old money is that people never tell me i look rich or fancy anymore. more so dapper or sharp, but its lost the money connotations
which is probably because the mainstream/gen z has codified the more minimal look of stealth wealth/old money aesthetic as indicative of that rather than just wearing a. suit
a bit of a victory at the cost of words and interpretations really not meaning anything anymore, especially as people cosplay old money/stealth wealth with zara anyway lol
I think there's also been an inversion, where it's often low-paid service workers that are required to wear suits (think security guards), and dressing down is a power move. And it's further confused by nouveau riche tech workers wearing shorts and allbirds to work.
which only furthers to idealize that old money aesthetic which isn't really dressed up anyway
totally agree!
My mind was blown when I learned that wearing button-down shirts was sort of a subtle way of saying "I'm rich enough to own a boat"
The funny thing is the actually old money people I know all dress like shit and dont spend much money on it
They'll be wearing the most beat to shit faded red chinos you've ever seen
fucking red trousers man
Then again our homegrown British elites are mere paupers compared with the subjects of the article
Even though I associate red trousers with public school even more strongly I associate it with people being twats
