Hey all. Apologies if the video/music cuts out strangely at any point. HBO did a copyright strike on the video so they basically own it now and have messed it up!
Poor people are just now finding out that rich people don’t dress like rappers
Rappers are rich people. This entire video also only applies to wealthy Westerners. Rich Arabs, Russians, Chinese etc. LOVE flashy brands and clothes. Quiet luxury is only a thing in Western Europe and North America
You say that like you’re not closer to being poor than you are to reaching wealth. Bootlicker.
@@FacitOmniaVoluntas.grown men don’t wear rapper costumes, not even rappers pretending they grew up in the hood. Pretending they were raised by single mothers who didn’t teach them anything, in section 8 housing
@@CaptainWillard830 Doesn’t change anything about what I said. Your perception of what constitutes a grown man doesn’t change the fact that the entire concept of “quiet luxury” only applies to wealthy westerners. Much of the world doesn’t abide by these principles.
@@FacitOmniaVoluntas.I think by rich people he’s referring to wealthy people with inherited money.
I think that niche fragrances are an even quieter form of quiet luxury, you don't even see it, you SMELL it
Unfortunately TikTok is ruining that too , I went to a authorized retailer of niche fragrances and saw a 12 year old asking his dad to get him a very popular niche fragrance cause he saw it on tik tok and also were other kids who looked like they were still in high school
@@Jaymoneybags718 the funny thing is that nieche perfumes arent even that expensive its prob the most affordable "be like the rich people" thing out there
Rich people with 'old money' don't tend to be flashy because they have no insecurity about wealth and nothing to prove. I've known very wealthy who think nothing of wearing shooting suits with holes in them.
Adrien Brody's fit in succession is actually insane. It's so well put together.
Yeah agreed, and it’s one of the cheapest as well!
he is wearing clothes...
sad kendal wearing a t shirt from a brand that literally translates to depressed rich children is *chefs kiss
Lucas is mostly not flashy because he reflects the Swedish principle of “jantelagen”, a deeply rooted distaste for showing off success or wealth.
Very interesting, wasn’t aware of that!
Scandinavian, not just Swedish , Janteloven in Danmark-Norway
Tycker bara att det är onödigt och en aning löjligt när det går över styr, helt ärligt...
Somehow Succession has become today's poster child for "quiet luxury" and the "old money" aesthetic. But anyone who paid attention to the show would know that Logan Roy was born poor and built his empire from nothing. First generation wealth. That is the definition of "new money."
Actually the irony of the show is the Logan Roy sons trying to be "old money" and trashing on new money when they are actually new money too lmao
This is the clothing that stock image models wear
Haha I see what you mean!
Sorry, but £300 for a cotton cap is just as stupid as £2000 for a "loud" burberry handbag. Maybe even more stupid…
I agree!
Thanks for the links! I ordered one of each. 😆
Hahaha. I got 2 just in case one of them got dirty 🤣
This video was so intriguing. I find it fascinating how the writers of this show used clothing to communicate the personalities of the characters. I will definitely be checking out the show very soon. Great work!
Thanks for watching! I found it fascinating as well, it’s a superb show!
It is true that films and TV shows will use clothing as a “language” to get across a certain feeling/vibe about a character. They have been doing this for a long time. A good costume designer will do this. Why he/she will need to know the scene. Is it a scene with tension? Comedy? Sadness? Violence? Etc.
Also the color of that clothing plays a big part. Huge part. To help with the mood of that scene. Character.
Good to distinguish between old money and stealth wealth because Roy family was not old money. The man himself was new rich and the kids just the second generation.
It’s not just about the generational aspect. You are overlooking the fact that these aren’t some run of the mill nouveau-rich types, they are one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world (in the show they are based on the Murdoch family.)
Because they are so well known and in the public eye, it would be considered gauche and quite absurd to appear ostentatiously dressed, as it would imply a serious lack of concern regarding upholding the family’s image of status and professionalism.
You're right about the Scandinavian outfits not being too expensive... but they do carry legacy through brands. The Sweds are pretty proud of what they create and it shows
Yep definitely agree! And I bet the quality is very high, even though they are more affordable.
Examples of those brands
@@akllls617as a swede i would really recommend Tiger of Sweden, acne studios and our legacy!! But there are so many more!!
I love these video essays I didn't know I needed... 😅😅 Awesome video!
I love merchandise without logos but I want the type of clothing that emanates utmost quality by looks and feels of the outfit.
That royal connection makes all the sense in the world.
I still can’t comprehend wearing a $3000 sweater 😭
Crazy isn’t it!!
It's all relative. $3k for billionaires whose worth keeps growing billions a year is nothing. They are not the usual rich who we call rich. They are the rich people for the popular rich people we constantly see in the media. Imagine having a whole media empire where Lebron is just an employee and an asset of one of your divisions. They're off the scale😂imagine you want to buy some clothes for what it is to you paying 0.000000075% of your net worth (3,000 divided by 40 billion). Would you choose a certain shop or a brand just for the sake of getting into an empty place where you feel comfortable and have a more pleasant buying experience and get a high quality item? I would. Why any hassle for buying anything (queues and masses surrounding coming at you -they're famous-) when I can just get something really good and a good time for what it is nearly nothing to me?
When you’re worth tens if not hundreds of millions the price tag doesn’t seem so large
Excellent character study and eye for the brands. Your content is top notch ❤. You just earned a sub.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
i’m so mad this video only mentions twice or three times shiv’s outfits cause girl had THE style
Great video. You've clearly conveyed the message of timeless, yet casual elegance is only visible to a discerning eye. This classic design is far underrated in today's myriad of labels.
Thanks so much!
Hi James! Was just wondering if you will ever get around to doing a summer styling video?
Absolutely will do! Probably around May. It's still Winter in the UK haha
@jamesleung you should mention the where Ralph Lauren and Loro Piana draw their inspiration. The truly old school brands like New & Lingwood or Anderson & Sheppard
another great video James!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank goodness for this video! My 2024 collection can now be complete!
Hahaha 🤣
Nice vid man, congrats!
Thank you!
A 700 dollar baseball cap is just...sending me.
I don't know where it's sending me, but good lord it isn't good.
Haha I know what you mean 🤣
Yesss, another banger after the j. Crew vid
Appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Second this comment! Loved them both. Thanks for the time + effort!
My own personal style has really evolved into the classic, yet rugged aesthetic when before it was a mess of streetwear and left of center elements
Yes same here!
Now streetwear do be hittin though
Currently getting a vicuna suit done and its cool seeing loro piana get such attention in this show.
That’s amazing to hear! Have had any vicuña before?
@@JamesLeung Yes! I got a shirt as a Christmas gift from a work friend and the hype is not exaggerated.
Pay the Peruvians who made your suit.
You could perceive the quality of the attire in almost every scene. The baseball cap thing is a bit weird, tho. Sadly they did not care much about the pens and stationery.
the burberry bit in successions is not just about Burberry prints, but the size of it - the people in the show don't wear bags and accessories of this size in these settings. This point always gets neglected
Very good point!
True. What do you need to bring so badly? If you have anything important to keep near you, you could have a servant keep it safe in another room or something.
fascinating! i could watch HOURS of content on this topic alone
Thank you!
omg such great video James!! I just started watching Succession and loved their costume. How were you able to identify each exact piece?
Thank you! There’s an Instagram page called succession fashion and they did all the hard work finding the pieces!
Another really good video bro 👍🏻
Thanks so much mate!!
Hey man
What is the sweater you are wearing?
Keep up the good work
Hey it’s from wings of liberty - look out for next weeks video I’ll go into a bit more detail 👍
Great spotting! Although I disagree with what the 'old money' aesthetic stands for. I don't think it's about choosing what's the most expensive, but about willing to pay a lot for high-quality garments, cause that's the former definition of luxury garments. Succession's costume design is interesting tho.
Thanks for your input, I agree!
Great video! Well produced
Thanks so much!
Such good show. Think I’m gonna watch it again lol
Haha me too!
I've not seen Succession, but I found the analysis linking elements of some of the characters' personal/professional life to the way they dressed particularly interesting. I have on the odd occasion found myself feeling intrigued by others' piece selections, wondering if there's a facet of their personality or backstory that's on show at that given time.
Glad you enjoyed it, I was worried it might be a bit too niche of a topic. You should definitely give it a watch, it’s one of the best series I’ve personally seen!
That ford hat is rad dude ! Great vid
Thank you man!!
James, great content. Where is your sweatshirt from?
Thanks! It’s from wings of liberty 👍
You're such a nice guy, James.
Haha thank you very much!
Showing no logos is the best thing. It’s opposite what the Chinese want. They are always wanting to show the logos so they can show off to their friends and family that they have some money. I lived in Asia and saw this constantly. I even saw one guy still wearing a stitched on temp logo of a suit on the outside of his jacket sleeve. I told him that it should be cut off he immediately said “NO”. That he wanted his friends and relatives to see that. To give everyone the impression that he had some money. Even though it looked odd to leave it on the jacket sleeve. That’s why I think most people buy these expensive pieces so they can then show off that designer label. It’s ALL about the label. The name. Crazy.
pathological mind set of some chinese
And really how is that different from spending a ton on something with no logos, hoping to be recognized by someone in the IYKYK crowd? At least they're being upfront about their intentions.
Fantastic video
Thank you very much!
ok but where did you get the lovely sweater YOU are wearing?
It’s from wings of liberty 👍
Hey James. Do you have a link for the sweater you’re wearing? Thanks
It’s from wings of liberty, called the veneto knit 👍
This perfectly defines the term ‘fashion victim’.
This is probably a dumb question, but is more expensive cashmere less itchy? I purchased a $120 cashmere sweater from Everlane in 2019 and I could barely stand to wear it. I even attempted wearing another blouse underneath it but my skin said "nope!" whenever the cashmere touched me, haha. I've had my eye on a couple Ralph Lauren cashmere pieces but am worried that I'll have the same reaction!
In my experience, higher price doesn’t necessarily mean less itchy. I’ve had cheaper pieces that are soft and expensive pieces that itch like mad. I think it’s how they’re processed when they’re being made!
@@JamesLeung Thank you! :)
The Gucci always coincides with the breakdown(s)! Great vid
Thank you!
Succession is a great show. Best TV show last year hands down.
Totally agree! Might be one of my favourites of all time!
correct me if i'm wrong,, but the burberry bag was mocked because its a day bag/ tote worn on the intimate celebration / soiree. when women normally wear small bags and clutches. not once was it insulted for branding but rather how big it was. iirc
would have been better if you had included the watches they wear
I love the pink flower lamp on the background, is it the kind that lights up when you touch it?
It has a pull string to turn it on, and you can light up the flowers in different combinations!
9:16 I need that robe LOL
New viewer here 👋 Great video! You mentioned that you’re Swedish. Our Legacy is my favorite brand right now. Are you a fan of theirs or own any pieces?
Welcome! Oh I’m not Swedish, I meant one of the characters is Swedish haha. Yes I love Our Legacy - I have their Camion Boots. I wish I had more!
Great content.... which series have you referred to in this video?
Nice videos mate! One request - do a similar analysis video for Donald Glover's fashion in the series Mr & Mrs Smith :)
Thank you! I haven’t watched it yet but just taking a look on google his outfits look great!!
would love to see a video where you show budget alternatives of these / give ideas about how to do quiet luxury without denting the bank account so much!
Very good idea!
bro… just thrift
Watching this gives me the impression that rich people are more psychopathic than we think.
What’s the sweater you’re wearing?
It’s from Wings Of Liberty, lovely piece
At 6:22 that is a Filson 258 a $625 padded computer bag.
the funny thing about kendall (jeremy strong) is that he doesn't have a nice bod, so even loro piana clothes look meh on him.
That’s $625 dollar cap you can get at GoodWill for $1.27 hahahahaha
hello i was wondering if anyone knows where he got his gray sweater. Thanks
Wings of Liberty 👍
Good vid, each of the characters (talking about Logan Roy's adult children) added something different, Shiv and Roman seemed to be impeccably dressed all the time, while Kendall, certainly let his love for HipHop determine the way he dressed.
Thank you! When I started watching it I had no idea how much I’d be interested in their fashion choices. It’s fascinating!
you should have mentioned the watch collection from the show
True! I’m not very clued up on watches so they sort of go over my head
What’s the sweater you are wearing man? ;)
It’s from wings of liberty!
I think that high quality, well thought out and well fitting clothing is usually worth the money. No doubt about it. But at what point does a material turn from cotton to gold? lol
Make a vídeo about tv series "the gentlemen'
Interesting video!
Thanks!
Great!
Thanks!
I mean there's a point to buying expensive clothes if you care about the quality and durability of the piece, but it's dumb to buy just for the looks when you can find very similar pieces that are way less expensive.
I mean there is a limit in the quality of some of the pieces. No way is a T-shirt will ever be worth £600
Great video but hey I have noticed this about you and I've just been wondering what is your skin care routine? Because it seems like you have really dry facial skin I am wondering if you are on top of that.
Not an attack at all btw just a friendly comment :).
I actually have oily skin if anything, maybe it looks dry on camera haha. Thanks for the concern though!
I haven’t watched the show, but this was great to watch.
Glad you liked it! I would highly recommend the show!
Love the video. But heads up, there's a glitch at 6:41-6:47, and your audio cuts out at 11:32 onwards
Ahh dang, the video got copyright striked by HBO so I think they’ve basically ruined it by cutting pieces out 😢
How the heck did u find all of these?
Thankfully there are a lot of articles and Instagram posts that did the hard work - I won’t take credit for it!
4:19: my ears started bleeding
10:20 The answer to this is Jantelagen / Law of Jante
Old money? Quiet Luxury?
I thought all along the term is stealth wealth.
It’s for their safety and not to be ostentatious
Good observation 👍
walmart t shirt is amazing
🙌
There's Quiet Luxury and there is obvious luxury.
In some professions you have to look rich. Impressing people is part of the job. This is where MAD MEN beats SUCCESSION
I’m into silent luxury - Uniqlo. No one knows that I’m not rich.
Haha same
All LP pieces are made in italy - including the hat
Thanks for letting me know. I couldn’t find that information anywhere on the website
This is almost every movie though
Quiet fashion and 'old money' don't need external validation.
U and harry always drop the videos at same time 😭
May i know why?
Haha, it’s not planned 🤣
@@JamesLeung i think it's planned u both exactly at the same time like 1,2 min difference
I have been seeing this for the last few months
@@imkira13 anyone running a channel long enough has good analytic data to see what times are best to drop a video
It’s crazy that people think rich people wear $10 tees
Rich people will always find dumb things to spend money on.
The characters in Succession basically wear exactly the same kind of boring mainstream clothes that old people who shop at Marks & Spencer wear except they cost £££.
“You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs” - as we all know.
Hahaha best quote!
…great insight on the Old Money aesthetic. Haven’t yet seen the series Succession but I luckily have been in the mix with these lot having been born and raised in Atherton, CA. Its influence on me has been significant yet since it is in the SF Bay Area, it isn’t as severe as in the East Coast. J. Crew, Club Monaco, RRL, Brooks Brothers, Banana Rep were some of the local staples. But the big difference is in the fit. I always take mine to our trusted tailor for a better fit. One I have inherited from my GrandMama. So find an excellent tailor near you, it’s worth it.
Yes a tailored piece can make such a difference. If I was rich I’d get every single piece tailored!
There’s a lot of wrong roads one can go down here. EG a Zegna blazer would not be better than a bespoke blazer for the same price or less in central london.
Loro Piano is overpriced considering John Smedley and N Peal for light knitwear with heritage and quality.
Definitely agree, especially about the bespoke approach.
"Hey, what's going on with that monochromatic outfit Mr. Billionaire is sporting over there?"
"Well, 'if you know you know' then you know that that outfit costs $25,000. You know, Vicuna and stuff."
"Riiiiiiight. But if you know you know then you know that it's all about at the very least pairing contrasting/complementary colors and patterns that have some *pop*, so that even if it was freakin' 2-ply cotton with 100s wool then the majority of people would say, 'hey, that outfit looks like a million bucks! Good job, stylish man!'
You know?"
i need the walmart children T link
Hahaha I couldn’t find it unfortunately, sold out!
If LVMH owns them they are probably not luxury anymore
True!
625 for a blue baseball cap wtf
I know right!!
Succession is the show that started the quiet luxury trend! Great show/characters and style.
Yeah for sure! Thanks for watching
😍
Maybe I need to watch the whole scene but Tom was berating that lady for the bag's enormous size not the gaudy branding in the clip there.
Yes the size is definitely a big part of his criticism. He also calls it a faux pas and I read this as him criticising her for the loud design when everyone else in the room has logo-less and plain bags. Maybe I’m wrong!
@@JamesLeungyou are not wrong. you are actually 100% right.
