Had a friend in HS who's parents were loaded. You wouldn't know that though. Dad drove an old beat up truck and mom drive an suv that didn't look "rich". Aside from the size of there house they had no visilual first glance tells of wealth. Until we graduated and I was hanging out with him and looked up his dad's outfit. And then realized his casual Saturday afternoon outfit costs more than my car.
My French teacher often told the story of her host family/bosses when she worked as an au pair ( I believe) in Paris. They drove a car that looked like it belonged in a scrap yard, and wore clothes that looked like she, a broke student working for them, could afford. And yet, they were extremely wealthy, owned a house in a nice part of Paris, etc. Most high end designer brands have two sorts of products. The products for people who are buying the brand and want to show that they can finally afford it, and the products that look like anyone could afford it but cost my entire monthly rent.

Everyone knows what they’re wearing is designer. Ermanno Scervino, Pucci, Missoni, Sandro, DVF, Birkin bags, diamond watches, etc everyone knows and there’s nothing quiet about it. Most don’t have logos unless they’re wearing t shirts or sweatshirts. But that’s it.
I learned this when I moved to Montreal, a city where there is a very high concentration of "old" money. I was walking down the street and saw an older woman waiting for the bus, but she had a subtle Prada bag, Mephisto shoes and very nice-but-subtle clothes. Where I grew up, only "poor" people took the bus; spending time in cities like Montreal and New York, where the ultra wealthy and poor co-exist side-by-side, will challenge your assumptions about wealth.
Decades ago. Even poor people had high quality fabrics. Clothes were made to last because people were too poor to continuously purchase new items. $300 for a T-shirt is ridiculous because all T-shirts should be good quality. Nowadays rich people are paying for quality whereas back then they paid for the name and design. The quality was a given across the board.

The biggest tell for *extremely* and I mean *extremely* rich people (not upper middle class or just regular wealthy) is their health and bodies. Not anything they wear or buy. It’s like the money seeps out of their pores. Their hair will be impossibly thick and shiny, eyes bright and rested, skin flawless, teeth perfect. And the way they carry themselves: like they don’t have a single care in the world, because they don’t. They’re not bogged down by stress or problems. You can feel the wealth radiating off of them. I’ve only seen it a handful of times in person but you can literally just tell. Health is a direct byproduct of your environment. The wealthiest people can afford the healthiest and most stress-free environments. They glow.

This is the one of the biggest generalizations I’ve ever read in the CZcams comments section - and that’s saying something! Congratulations! My best friend growing up had a billionaire uncle. Yes, a _billionaire_ uncle. He would take us on trips for his nephew’s birthday, holidays, and sometimes just for fun. He was the most out of shape alcoholic I’ve ever met in my life. We are from Texas so he literally was just like a regular cowboy type. He was kind as could be, but to say he exuded wealth and it was reflected in his health/body is false, to say the least. My mother was also friends with a woman who was married to the CEO of a huge, well-known pharmaceutical company, so not a billionaire but a multi, multi, millionaire. She also drank a lot, but she was miserably depressed because her 1%er husband was a total loser. She only got happier once she divorced him. That doesn’t sound like a healthy, stress-free environment, does it? Also, the owner of my friend’s company is a billionaire. Again, a literal billionaire. I’ve been able to spend significant amounts of time with him and his family because he is quite generous and has many parties and retreats that my friend has brought me along to as a plus one. And this man also absolutely does _not_ exude health and happiness. One of his three children is an addict. He has a super stressful job running a super stressful company. His wife, on the other hand, was just like your generalization. She is in her 60s, like him, but she is beautiful and in great shape. She is kindness personified. And even though her billionaire husband had just met me, the first time I went to an event they hosted, he literally yelled and screamed at her in front of me and told her she was _not_ going to have drinks with us at the bar because _he_ wanted to go to bed and _she_ knew that. It was quite shocking. He literally couldn’t have cared less about my opinion about his behavior because I was a nobody, so why would he? So I’ve met _many_ people who are truly wealthy and they are often just as messed up as us non 1%ers. Even wealthy people who don’t have the stressors of running companies can also have tons of problems too, just like the child of my neighbor’s boss. Being wealthy isn’t like some super power that suddenly makes you immune to stress and makes you unable to make poor decisions. The ultra-wealthy people I’ve met are evidence of that.
In the luxury market we even have "tiers" from high luxury to accessible luxury. The ultra wealthy wants to own things that new rich cannot: obscure things and exclusivity that only THEY own. I've seen a group of rich people where the old rich don't entertain the new rich on the brands that they get, because sharing that means giving the new rich a door into their world.
Literally, “well these days, things are different” you’re like what 30 at best? Please tell us how things are “different these days” as if humans haven’t been having a society for millennia before you dropped in. Every quaint observation they have is to them a recent societal shift.
Real wealth is you have a tailor to make custom fit clothes for you that are quality. Absolute wealth is you own the tailor and their family worked for your family for generations
There is a whole street in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong with nothing but 20x30 ft. stores filled with bolts of fabric. You bring in a picture out of a magazine of a suit or dress or skirt suit and pick out your fabric and pick up the custum fit clothes in a day or two or have it shipped home. There is a scene in Above the Law where CIA agent Nelson Fox opens his suit to show the Hong Kong label. Always thought that was the height of style. Something James Bond would do. Get his suits made in Hong Kong.
@@practicaliching2311 this is common across Asia, having lived in HK for a decade their tailors rival European ones any day. In South Asia, the fabric quality available all over is just excellent.
Why weep? I don't really care what the wealthy flaunt, I do what makes me happy, and it has nothing to do with social tagging & flaunting luxury. Good quality clothing & accessories does not equal expensive or unattainable. I find it sad that so many people value this. Hopefully one day they will realize these are not the things that matter in life.
Pro tip for those who want the look but not the price tag: steal it. No, im joking. Find what you like ans get it tailored to fot your body. Fashion starts with F and the F means Fit. Making sure clothes form fit right is more than 50% of it all.
I think people dont understand. Wealthy gets their clothes CUSTOM MADE. Hence, there is no logo, and that s why it fits well. A pair of bespoke Oxford shoes can cost 3k, 4k. Suits can range from 1k to 10k easily. The branded logo stuff was to lured middle class wanting to appear wealthy, wealthy people rarely wear stuff that are not custom made to them.
@ChucksSEADnDEAD yes I know about the Ralph Lauren and such. But even then, you can get Ralph Lauren custom made which even more expensive than the one you bought in store, even when the two are quiet luxury.
This only applies to people who care about how their clothes fit. Most off the rack clothing will suffice for most people. In some cases like suits, off the rack is meant to have adjustments so left somewhat unfinished like the bottom of pants. Most wealthy people also have poorly fitted clothing because it’s not a priority to them.
@@sharinglungs3226 well yes because there are time and place for everything. The clothes im talking about are the one they wear in meetings, ceremonies, speeches or in media. They are not always in bespoke clothing around their family and friends.
Exactly, there’s nothing new about this concept. And even in succession it’s important to remember the scene where the family were viewed as new money when meeting with an old money family. Most importantly to remember is this has always existed, and not an issue most of us ‘common folk’ should be comparing ourselves to beyond a superficial level if it creates unnecessary insecurities or serious overspending. Far much more to life to find joy and meaning in within each of our means, including fun with fashion! I say this as a thrift store income bracket shopper, with friends who have cars worth more than my rental apartment. Just be you.
To be fair flaunting logos was never a thing for a certain group but it has always been a thing for the middle class and the lower upper class. For example musical artists who are the first generation to have money typically are much more flashy but if you look at the children of the artists or children of writers and directors of old Hollywood similar to Miss grenath paltrow they're much more silent and quiet about their luxury it also affords you extra privacy because you're not drawing in so much attention
The one thing I’ve noticed with some kids of rich or wealthy people is they are embarrassed by it. They want to be like everyone else so they get clothes, cars, etc that make them appear like everyone else. It’s kind of a travesty they don’t embrace having the background to afford nicer things.
@@sharinglungs3226because people criticize them for being a lazy nepo baby who doesn’t have to work. And I’m sure they want to be seen for their own person and not who their dad or mom is. It’s still a kind of silly struggle to have because work sucks and we all wish we had some way to never have to work again but there’s also pride and accomplishment in being self made and it’s something you can’t get from being a rich man’s son.
>me who never really liked logos or brandings in my clothes, slowly losing the ability to buy the clothes I like because they are either vanishing or becoming really expensive LMAO
I have always felt that the “new rich” were the ones to flaunt. Growing up with people that have generational wealth, at least in the US, we never wore name brand luxury because it looks tacky. Maybe celebrities but those of us who work corporate jobs have always dressed like this.
Lol this isn’t anything new I’m not sure why this video even exists. Nouveau riche has been connected with ostentatious or flashy dress and lack of overall “class” since at least the 19th century in the US. It’s much to do with the downfall of traditional aristocracy (old rich) in favor of industrialists and entrepreneurs (new rich)
I always thought holding logos around is just making you an easier target to get mugged. And they're ugly as fuck, nothing but a disturbance to my fashion style.
"an inside joke for rich people" - - it shouldn't be called quiet luxury because if you are familiar with stealth wealth brands, their items aren't quiet at all. It should be called deaf luxury because the rich 👏 ain't 👏 talking 👏 to 👏 us
Call me crazy but I think spending 300 bucks on a t-shirt is insane. Succession and these ways wealthy people have just convince me more of how unaware and disconnected this people are from reality, what most of us live every day 🤷♂️
I only know the men's side of fashion, but since men's fashion has always been more traditional, there has always been a "if you know, you know" to it. There's certain stitching in suits are usually for bespoke suits only... until more recently, cheaper suits have been adding that stitch in a couple obvious places, but not everywhere. Shoes, it's less obvious if it's a bespoke cordwainer built shoe and Allen Edmonds who make a high quality heritage leather dress shoe. Or less obvious to see the difference at a glance from Pacific Northwest Boots and Red Wings. (Neither are cheap as they are made in America) BUT, Italian heritage leather shoes and boots have always been made from their own traditions, and it's a "if you know, you know" kind of difference in their leather stitching and lasts. True Italian suits can be hard to tell, because Italians like their Spezatto style (suit separates, my favorite styling) that mixes suits, colors, textures and textiles.
Stealth wealth was not a trend brought on by Succession. Those logo designer items are the cheapest in the collection usually. The loudest ones were never the most wealthy.
“In ancient Rome, they wanted to make the slaves wear something so they could identify them, like a cloak." “Then they decided not to do it because they realised if all slaves dressed the same, they would see how many of them there were, and they’d rise up and kill the masters.”
Are you kidding? 😂 this is a joke. To them status is everything. And they do buy things to show off. It’s ridiculous that people think wealthy people don’t want to show off their wealth at all.
Truly rich people never had a time in the past where they wanted to flaunt logos of companies smaller than them. Only poor people ever want to associate with big logos to seem richer.
This is driving me nutts, "quiet luxury" isnt a trend. its just wanting to have high quality goods that are not made in sweat shops in a third world country that falls apart after two uses. im sick of spending loads of money on cr*p that falls apart. did some research and found out what are good quality brands are and now all of a sudden im being made to feel like im just following a trend. i dont like the idea of wearing obvious brands cause most of the brands that are all logo are actually not that great quality. plus, people who deck out in those kinds of clothes look like theyre trying to show off. im not about that. i just want to live my simple life in simple clothes and not have keep buying new ones all the damn time.
This comment is laughable. If you ACTUALLY did any research, then you'd actually know that the t-shirt you bought for 300 bucks was actually 50 cents to make lmao. No one makes you buy stuff "made in sweat shops in a third world country that falls apart after two uses", but if you buy a t-shirt for more than 50 bucks then you are a sucker lol
Crazy that this is now sadly a trend. Something that should’ve been years ago. Ages ago, if they notice they notice whatever. But you buy things for you not for others
To be fair when you showed the Christian Dior purse, the cheapest Christian Dior purse in that size is the one with the giant logo on it if you were to buy the same size purse in pure leather, or in the vintage saddle leather, it will be 10 to 20 times the priceso instead of $1000 for a bag it’s 20 or $30,000 for a bag and that filters out the people who can and cannot afford it
what I learned is a lot of rich people (who are not public facing) actually don't care how they look because they don't need to prove anything to anyone and the clothes they wear is.. full of holes and actually not fancy at all as in, I look more rich than them by appearance of clothes
Luxury: a $300 hospital bill for a life-changing treatment. Quiet luxury: buying a $300 t-shirt hoping a random billionaire might see you and mistake you for one of them for 3 seconds
So outside of the world of succession, the reason that labels and brands are not purchased, is, because usually if you go to Louis Vuitton, the thing covered in logos is the cheapest version of the thing, if you were to take a purse, for example, the patent leather LV purse is the cheapest of LV products, if you were to get the exact same purse in crocodile, or ostrich, it would have a single logo on the inside, none on the outside and cost 10 times if not 100 times morethe average person cannot afford that so they just buy stuff covered in logos and they have to buy big enough for everyone else to see it or else they feel like they spent their money on something useless. Hence the statement ludicrously capacious.
Idk the comments r funny. I know wealthy people and even dated some guy who owned an island and he was pretty regular. Didn’t tailor every garment, either. Just travelled a lot. There’s no 1 wealthy person.
This is sorta what Suits are. Before suits were a thing the wealthy flaunted their wealth on them but when Suits came into fashion it was a way to silently show their wealth with hidden details etc.
Personally I don't like logos but buy what gives you joy. If that ugly Louis Vuitton pattern makes you happy buy that overpriced purse and wear it with joy.
As someone who went to a 1% high school (on a scholarship), the wealthy just buy what they like/want (typically nice fabrics & comfortable regardless of whether its $10 or $1,000). My friend, an heir to a hotel ‘empire’ with a $10mil house (and multiple houses elsewhere) and 5 luxury cars would wear Target pajamas and thrift with me. They dgaf about your opinion. So if you want to seem wealthy thrift some high quality fabrics & stop caring lol.
Their outfits are not quiet. The characters all wear very visibly expensive, designer garments, especially Kendall. He wears expensive watches, jewelry, sunglasses, flashy coats and Tom ford shoes. There’s no world where you confuse one of Kendall’s $4,000 coats for something from Burlington Coat Factory.
I never understood luxury brands to begin with. Rich people definitely have high egos, so the last thing I’d expect is want to go around as a walking advertisement and wearing someone else’s name.
Flaunting logos has never been a thing for people who were raised with money, unless it’s on a handbag in a classy way or a belt it has always been tacky or new rich
I got this down pat, i live in a trailer, take public transport, eat fast food…nobody will believe im worth $100million, not the bank, not my friends, not my family…im so stealthy with it…
Big logos or logos in general were always for the poor people. I worked for a muti-millionaire and he looked like a well dressed business man, but wore a $20k Swiss Watch, a $10k Linen suit from Italy and carried a $1000 umbrella from the UK.
The rich spend less on clothes than the poor. Most people can buy clothes at higher quality for less money. But the poor will spend $300 on a pair of sneakers when they make $10/hour.
I don’t think that the show Succession is to thank for inconspicuous upper upper class fashion habits. This is something that even in my teens 15 years ago I was aware of, contrasting the ostentatious nouveau riche with the older wealthy class.
I’ve been buying luxury since this girl was in primary school, it changed for most of us long before Succession was even a thought. Rappers ruined things like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry. Rappers popularized gaudy items with huge logos and the Chinese in-turn started to mass manufacture knockoffs, then the richest Chinese sent their kids to cities where there are top universities and major shopping hubs, they are the most materialistic and flashy people out there. The best “affordable” brand (still not that cheap) that mimics quiet luxury brands like Cuccinelli, Zegna, and others is SuitSupply, at least for men.
For real though, this idea that i want to flaunt my success is so foreign to me, with the state of the world, why would i want to constantly worry if someone saw me who has nothing to lose and everything to gain from robbing me, killing me..,breaking into my home…you cant trust your own neighbors these days…why am i gonna trust the thousands of strangers who see me walking down the street with gold chains and gucci joggers or driving a lambo…it is just not worth it…i have always been low key with my top 3% wealth…lived in the same home i bought 20 years ago, drive used toyota vehicles, never had social media, my friends dont have social media…nobody posts anything… But ive got a million dollar gun collection, ive got 750 acres in western NC…a few offroad vehicles, and pieces of heavy equipment. Nobody looks at the guy with two svl97’s and a new kx080…that kx-080 is more than an m4
The less wealth you appear to have the less of a lawsuit target you are, the less you’re bothered by charities and friends and family for handouts. The more wealth you retain.
@Natalie E I'm aware he does, but that doesn't change my point that he's an idiot for paying hundreds for what the rest of pay 20 bucks for. Also I was using him as more of a general point then a specific example.
You have no idea what Brunello Cucinelli is do you? Probably never even heard of Isaia, Kiton or Brioni. "Handmade clothing" or "Italian wool" just goes completely over your head.
I can sympathize a little when I imagin myself rich (lol) I feel like I wouldn't want to be changed much by my wealth and would be drawn to dressing down and not buying tons of stuff but can see also that with tons of money (lol again) that I may choose a t-shirt but I'd absolutely choose one that's gonna look great and would pay more for the convenience of not having to thrift to find some damn cashmere that doesn't fit. I'd pay more for the basics for sure. But I hoooooope my view of what a t-shirt should cost wouldn't change too much. It is subjective though innit? A t-shirt is valued at 10 bucks for us cause that's the value we set it at by the majority of people saying they'll buy it if it's that price. Being in a different class (lower, middle, upper, 1% etc) changes the fish bowl you are contributing those stats to and changes which marketing applies to you. Basically, if you have $15 in the bank you are in the market for ads that have diamond rings for $100 because they know that's just right for you to say "oooh good deal" but if you are a billionaire they market jewelry to you that is worth much more but to each the poor person and billionaire the jewelry marketed to them is valued just right. Funny how we think diamonds should cost more than t-shirts but diamonds can't keep you warm. Rich people are just as susceptible to this weird trick of increased value of items.
This isn’t new. Fashion’s main driver is to appease the wealthy who get annoyed when the “poors” get access to their style through mass production. Also, more importantly, many wealthy people (men) don’t care to look wealthy because they are. It’s the women who are taxed/burdened with aesthetic prioritization which trickles down to children, et al. Luxury is also a joke when most things considered luxury are either cheaply made or causing harm via exploitation or negative environmental impact.
The inside joke is that these ultra wealthy people buy simple, practical high quality clothing while stupid people blow their cash on gaudy frivolous garbage.
Lol tbh Americans have been into logo’s since 1900 literally. There’s a book called a the King of Fashion. It’s about Paul Poiret. He was a famous designer of the time. And when he came to America to ensure he had a foothold in the American market. He was disappointed to see Americans solely buy his product for the label rather than the construction of the garment. Interesting to see the elite mirror European elite with da speak style. And it’s funny because they watches can cost more den some peoples entire life😂
Old school rich lived in castles and several acres compounds while being driven around in rolls royces. Who are we kidding here thinking wealth hides their money? New rich just ups it more with super yachts, big private jets and multiple massive properties all over the world. No one is hiding anything except for tax purposes 😂
Seems like a bad money choice to pay $300 for a T-shirt. I feel like if I were wealthy, I wouldn't spend $300 on a T-shirt. i don't have to show it off, but I wouldn't throw it away on a piece of fabric.

Being wealthy isn’t like some super power that suddenly makes you immune to stress and makes you unable to make poor decisions. The ultra-wealthy people I’ve met are evidence of that.
lol Im glad someone said it before me. Yeah talk about a vague generalization. Theres many rich wealthy people that dont have a pristine glow.
Yeah Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jacqueline Mars, & Geroge Soros really radiating out here 💀😂😭
In the luxury market we even have "tiers" from high luxury to accessible luxury. The ultra wealthy wants to own things that new rich cannot: obscure things and exclusivity that only THEY own. I've seen a group of rich people where the old rich don't entertain the new rich on the brands that they get, because sharing that means giving the new rich a door into their world.
So the hedonic treadmill. Sounds exhausting.
New rich: Put their mansion at the front of the property
Old money: Put their estate at the back so you don't even see it
I'm not rich and I want my house at the back
@@FreedomTalkMedia Now youre thinking like the wealthy. Now its time to exploit some labor.
Sums up McMansions lol
As a home health care worker in southern Georgia, I’ve seen this! I get great life advice too
Best thing you can do to "look rich" or like "quiet luxury" is to get a taylor (Or take a sewing class) and get your clothes to actually fit.
It's so weird to see stealth wealth become a buzzword when it's been that way for decades.
Literally decades, not figuratively 😂😂😂
Perhaps we’ve been too busy Black Friday shopping away the past few at the clown items the rich have been laughing at us for using
Thank social media gurus 😂
Literally, “well these days, things are different” you’re like what 30 at best? Please tell us how things are “different these days” as if humans haven’t been having a society for millennia before you dropped in. Every quaint observation they have is to them a recent societal shift.
Basically the truly wealthy families have never worn company logos trying to impress anyone. Brands mark slaves.
Real wealth is you have a tailor to make custom fit clothes for you that are quality. Absolute wealth is you own the tailor and their family worked for your family for generations
There is a whole street in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong with nothing but 20x30 ft. stores filled with bolts of fabric.
You bring in a picture out of a magazine of a suit or dress or skirt suit and pick out your fabric and pick up the custum fit clothes in a day or two or have it shipped home.
There is a scene in Above the Law where CIA agent Nelson Fox opens his suit to show the Hong Kong label.
Always thought that was the height of style. Something James Bond would do. Get his suits made in Hong Kong.
@@practicaliching2311 this is common across Asia, having lived in HK for a decade their tailors rival European ones any day. In South Asia, the fabric quality available all over is just excellent.

“Should we laugh?” No we should WEAP 😭😿!!!
😂😂😂😂
weep
Why weep? I don't really care what the wealthy flaunt, I do what makes me happy, and it has nothing to do with social tagging & flaunting luxury. Good quality clothing & accessories does not equal expensive or unattainable. I find it sad that so many people value this. Hopefully one day they will realize these are not the things that matter in life.
@@tennilledebysingh5819That’s just cope and silent ressentiment and deep down you know it.
Stealth wealth and loud wealth goes back and forth in fashion dictated by the wealthy.
Said way to much just to say minimalism is in style now.
Pro tip for those who want the look but not the price tag: steal it. No, im joking. Find what you like ans get it tailored to fot your body. Fashion starts with F and the F means Fit. Making sure clothes form fit right is more than 50% of it all.
Thank you Mr Cold William
But if you won't get caught, yeah steal it.
I think people dont understand. Wealthy gets their clothes CUSTOM MADE. Hence, there is no logo, and that s why it fits well. A pair of bespoke Oxford shoes can cost 3k, 4k. Suits can range from 1k to 10k easily. The branded logo stuff was to lured middle class wanting to appear wealthy, wealthy people rarely wear stuff that are not custom made to them.
Although some recognizeable brands manufacture a mass produced line with logos but also offer a premium line of similar products with no logo.
@ChucksSEADnDEAD yes I know about the Ralph Lauren and such. But even then, you can get Ralph Lauren custom made which even more expensive than the one you bought in store, even when the two are quiet luxury.
This only applies to people who care about how their clothes fit. Most off the rack clothing will suffice for most people. In some cases like suits, off the rack is meant to have adjustments so left somewhat unfinished like the bottom of pants. Most wealthy people also have poorly fitted clothing because it’s not a priority to them.
@@sharinglungs3226 well yes because there are time and place for everything. The clothes im talking about are the one they wear in meetings, ceremonies, speeches or in media. They are not always in bespoke clothing around their family and friends.
Shit I'm barely middle class and even my suits costs $1K - the wealthy wear $100,000 suits
Quietly elegant was always the mode
I knew this in the 8th grade and I’m 59 now lol
Exactly, there’s nothing new about this concept. And even in succession it’s important to remember the scene where the family were viewed as new money when meeting with an old money family.
Most importantly to remember is this has always existed, and not an issue most of us ‘common folk’ should be comparing ourselves to beyond a superficial level if it creates unnecessary insecurities or serious overspending. Far much more to life to find joy and meaning in within each of our means, including fun with fashion! I say this as a thrift store income bracket shopper, with friends who have cars worth more than my rental apartment. Just be you.
It's always been this way. Each generation likes to think that they have discovered "stealth wealth" but they've been around forever.
Quiet luxury is not a new concept. It’s called being modest and having class.
I'd say the trend of unbrazen wealth started long ago, Succession just made more people aware of it.
I just wear what I want and go for good quality clothes no matter the logo or lack of.
To be fair flaunting logos was never a thing for a certain group but it has always been a thing for the middle class and the lower upper class. For example musical artists who are the first generation to have money typically are much more flashy but if you look at the children of the artists or children of writers and directors of old Hollywood similar to Miss grenath paltrow they're much more silent and quiet about their luxury it also affords you extra privacy because you're not drawing in so much attention
The one thing I’ve noticed with some kids of rich or wealthy people is they are embarrassed by it. They want to be like everyone else so they get clothes, cars, etc that make them appear like everyone else. It’s kind of a travesty they don’t embrace having the background to afford nicer things.
@@sharinglungs3226because people criticize them for being a lazy nepo baby who doesn’t have to work. And I’m sure they want to be seen for their own person and not who their dad or mom is. It’s still a kind of silly struggle to have because work sucks and we all wish we had some way to never have to work again but there’s also pride and accomplishment in being self made and it’s something you can’t get from being a rich man’s son.
>me who never really liked logos or brandings in my clothes, slowly losing the ability to buy the clothes I like because they are either vanishing or becoming really expensive LMAO
I have always felt that the “new rich” were the ones to flaunt. Growing up with people that have generational wealth, at least in the US, we never wore name brand luxury because it looks tacky. Maybe celebrities but those of us who work corporate jobs have always dressed like this.
You just wrote this comment to say you’re rich, nothing quiet about that 😂
@@b__c7538he has a job, so musnt be that wealthy. 😂
Lol this isn’t anything new I’m not sure why this video even exists. Nouveau riche has been connected with ostentatious or flashy dress and lack of overall “class” since at least the 19th century in the US. It’s much to do with the downfall of traditional aristocracy (old rich) in favor of industrialists and entrepreneurs (new rich)
I always thought holding logos around is just making you an easier target to get mugged. And they're ugly as fuck, nothing but a disturbance to my fashion style.
they’re so tacky..
Agreed. Why pay a lot to look bad?
If you’re not the 1%, I don’t think it should matter how you dress. Wear whatever you want
So, rich people wear clothes, and poor people wear logos advertising corporations for rich people 😂
"an inside joke for rich people" - - it shouldn't be called quiet luxury because if you are familiar with stealth wealth brands, their items aren't quiet at all.
It should be called deaf luxury because the rich 👏 ain't 👏 talking 👏 to 👏 us
Call me crazy but I think spending 300 bucks on a t-shirt is insane. Succession and these ways wealthy people have just convince me more of how unaware and disconnected this people are from reality, what most of us live every day 🤷♂️
You need Netflix to reveal that to you?
Stealth wealth exists because major fashion brands only appear to poor urban people now as they have no other means of showing off their wealth.
I only know the men's side of fashion, but since men's fashion has always been more traditional, there has always been a "if you know, you know" to it.
There's certain stitching in suits are usually for bespoke suits only... until more recently, cheaper suits have been adding that stitch in a couple obvious places, but not everywhere.
Shoes, it's less obvious if it's a bespoke cordwainer built shoe and Allen Edmonds who make a high quality heritage leather dress shoe.
Or less obvious to see the difference at a glance from Pacific Northwest Boots and Red Wings. (Neither are cheap as they are made in America)
BUT, Italian heritage leather shoes and boots have always been made from their own traditions, and it's a "if you know, you know" kind of difference in their leather stitching and lasts.
True Italian suits can be hard to tell, because Italians like their Spezatto style (suit separates, my favorite styling) that mixes suits, colors, textures and textiles.
Stealth wealth was not a trend brought on by Succession. Those logo designer items are the cheapest in the collection usually. The loudest ones were never the most wealthy.
“In ancient Rome, they wanted to make the slaves wear something so they could identify them, like a cloak."
“Then they decided not to do it because they realised if all slaves dressed the same, they would see how many of them there were, and they’d rise up and kill the masters.”
Ironically what the 1% probably says when they see the 99% problems such as worrying about bills, taxes, or housing issues is "should we laugh?".
Isn’t this what Preppies have been doing since, like, forever?
Mark Zuckerberg t-shirt "i mean it's soft"😂😂😂😂
Wealthy people have little need for exogenous validation; they value privacy and quality.
Are you kidding? 😂 this is a joke. To them status is everything. And they do buy things to show off. It’s ridiculous that people think wealthy people don’t want to show off their wealth at all.
Truly rich people never had a time in the past where they wanted to flaunt logos of companies smaller than them. Only poor people ever want to associate with big logos to seem richer.
if you have to ask what the brand is, you can’t afford it
This is driving me nutts, "quiet luxury" isnt a trend. its just wanting to have high quality goods that are not made in sweat shops in a third world country that falls apart after two uses. im sick of spending loads of money on cr*p that falls apart. did some research and found out what are good quality brands are and now all of a sudden im being made to feel like im just following a trend. i dont like the idea of wearing obvious brands cause most of the brands that are all logo are actually not that great quality. plus, people who deck out in those kinds of clothes look like theyre trying to show off. im not about that. i just want to live my simple life in simple clothes and not have keep buying new ones all the damn time.
This comment is laughable. If you ACTUALLY did any research, then you'd actually know that the t-shirt you bought for 300 bucks was actually 50 cents to make lmao. No one makes you buy stuff "made in sweat shops in a third world country that falls apart after two uses", but if you buy a t-shirt for more than 50 bucks then you are a sucker lol
Crazy that this is now sadly a trend. Something that should’ve been years ago. Ages ago, if they notice they notice whatever. But you buy things for you not for others
Eat the rich, wear whatever you want 🥳
To be fair when you showed the Christian Dior purse, the cheapest Christian Dior purse in that size is the one with the giant logo on it if you were to buy the same size purse in pure leather, or in the vintage saddle leather, it will be 10 to 20 times the priceso instead of $1000 for a bag it’s 20 or $30,000 for a bag and that filters out the people who can and cannot afford it
there's a word for large luxury logos, "gouache"
what I learned is a lot of rich people (who are not public facing) actually don't care how they look because they don't need to prove anything to anyone and the clothes they wear is.. full of holes and actually not fancy at all as in, I look more rich than them by appearance of clothes
Thing is, like most i’m not old money and i’m not dressing like it. Quiet luxury is billionaire cosplay, i’m good lol
Luxury: a $300 hospital bill for a life-changing treatment. Quiet luxury: buying a $300 t-shirt hoping a random billionaire might see you and mistake you for one of them for 3 seconds
So outside of the world of succession, the reason that labels and brands are not purchased, is, because usually if you go to Louis Vuitton, the thing covered in logos is the cheapest version of the thing, if you were to take a purse, for example, the patent leather LV purse is the cheapest of LV products, if you were to get the exact same purse in crocodile, or ostrich, it would have a single logo on the inside, none on the outside and cost 10 times if not 100 times morethe average person cannot afford that so they just buy stuff covered in logos and they have to buy big enough for everyone else to see it or else they feel like they spent their money on something useless. Hence the statement ludicrously capacious.
Im still trying to afford Walmart fashion
Idk the comments r funny. I know wealthy people and even dated some guy who owned an island and he was pretty regular. Didn’t tailor every garment, either. Just travelled a lot. There’s no 1 wealthy person.
Clowns really thought they were wearing cheap clothes. Remember those old Instagram post of the 2 guys? Flashy or not YOU’RE STILL WEARING money
This is sorta what Suits are. Before suits were a thing the wealthy flaunted their wealth on them but when Suits came into fashion it was a way to silently show their wealth with hidden details etc.
Flaunting wealth has always been seen as uncouth. Noob behavior associated to new money or aspirational wealth in the eyes of old money.
To be fair I've never watched that show but I can guarantee you that's the way it's always been... Rich people don't like to look like targets
Eat the rich
Exactly
So when the poor finally realize they're being crushed to death and break out the torches and pitchforks, they have a way to look inconspicuous
Idk, i think hbo just doesnt want to pay for branding. except for the watches
Personally I don't like logos but buy what gives you joy. If that ugly Louis Vuitton pattern makes you happy buy that overpriced purse and wear it with joy.
This isn’t new, it’s always been the case. Very easy to identify the try hards by shitty garish LV etc
As someone who went to a 1% high school (on a scholarship), the wealthy just buy what they like/want (typically nice fabrics & comfortable regardless of whether its $10 or $1,000). My friend, an heir to a hotel ‘empire’ with a $10mil house (and multiple houses elsewhere) and 5 luxury cars would wear Target pajamas and thrift with me. They dgaf about your opinion. So if you want to seem wealthy thrift some high quality fabrics & stop caring lol.
People also assume attractive folk are wealthy too. Strange phenomenon in my school, since you should be looking for the nerdy or almost sickly.
Their outfits are not quiet. The characters all wear very visibly expensive, designer garments, especially Kendall. He wears expensive watches, jewelry, sunglasses, flashy coats and Tom ford shoes.
There’s no world where you confuse one of Kendall’s $4,000 coats for something from Burlington Coat Factory.
Rich rich don't shop at stores. They wear clothing literally made for their body
I never understood luxury brands to begin with. Rich people definitely have high egos, so the last thing I’d expect is want to go around as a walking advertisement and wearing someone else’s name.
Flaunting logos has never been a thing for people who were raised with money, unless it’s on a handbag in a classy way or a belt it has always been tacky or new rich
Also people with real money have not need to broadcast there wealth. It’s only young money or people that have ego issues that flash it.
I got this down pat, i live in a trailer, take public transport, eat fast food…nobody will believe im worth $100million, not the bank, not my friends, not my family…im so stealthy with it…
Now that's WEALTH! 😉
God damnnn 100M ? Well I hope your wealth perpetuates even more ! And don't hesitate if you feel generous and want to help a brother out 😂
Big logos or logos in general were always for the poor people. I worked for a muti-millionaire and he looked like a well dressed business man, but wore a $20k Swiss Watch, a $10k Linen suit from Italy and carried a $1000 umbrella from the UK.
The rich spend less on clothes than the poor. Most people can buy clothes at higher quality for less money. But the poor will spend $300 on a pair of sneakers when they make $10/hour.
I don’t think that the show Succession is to thank for inconspicuous upper upper class fashion habits. This is something that even in my teens 15 years ago I was aware of, contrasting the ostentatious nouveau riche with the older wealthy class.
Makes sense to not Flaunt the wealth... with the upcoming class Wars, I would not like to be wealthy coming up here shortly ☄
Top 1% = $250k/yr…. Might be wealthy but you’re describing the top 0.1%
People think Louis Vuitton and blueberry is Luxury
I’ve been buying luxury since this girl was in primary school, it changed for most of us long before Succession was even a thought. Rappers ruined things like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry. Rappers popularized gaudy items with huge logos and the Chinese in-turn started to mass manufacture knockoffs, then the richest Chinese sent their kids to cities where there are top universities and major shopping hubs, they are the most materialistic and flashy people out there. The best “affordable” brand (still not that cheap) that mimics quiet luxury brands like Cuccinelli, Zegna, and others is SuitSupply, at least for men.
They are the brand owners, they want us to be brand advertisements.
I've found that people who show off too much get robbed.
When you dress like you are homeless yet is worth billions. That is a next level flex.
It's not because of the shows. The shows do it because that's the way that world already worked.
Monarchies have done this since the beginning of pret a porter
Holllywood avoids showing brands many times because of legality. Also, if you make more than 34k a year you are in the top 1% globally.
I hate this term. Rich people have no interest in what poor people are attracted to. It has always been this way.
the top 1% is 400k and over. you're talking about at least the top 0.01%. Which is 10M per year.
I wondering if they are now living in condos and driving a Corolla to work 😂
For real though, this idea that i want to flaunt my success is so foreign to me, with the state of the world, why would i want to constantly worry if someone saw me who has nothing to lose and everything to gain from robbing me, killing me..,breaking into my home…you cant trust your own neighbors these days…why am i gonna trust the thousands of strangers who see me walking down the street with gold chains and gucci joggers or driving a lambo…it is just not worth it…i have always been low key with my top 3% wealth…lived in the same home i bought 20 years ago, drive used toyota vehicles, never had social media, my friends dont have social media…nobody posts anything…
But ive got a million dollar gun collection, ive got 750 acres in western NC…a few offroad vehicles, and pieces of heavy equipment. Nobody looks at the guy with two svl97’s and a new kx080…that kx-080 is more than an m4
Logo/brand on clothes is literary _you_ paying extra money for marketing _their_ company…
it’s absolutely absurd imho.
Your biggest mistake is your second-hand values. Why base your cherished values on what other people want?
According to the IRS you need to make $819,000 to be in the top 1%
To be in the top .1% you need to make a minimum of 3.3 million.
The less wealth you appear to have the less of a lawsuit target you are, the less you’re bothered by charities and friends and family for handouts. The more wealth you retain.
This explains why so many rich people failed school, cause only an idiot would pay 300 dollars for a grey t-shirt.
Considering the wealth that Zuckerberg has. The t shirt might aswell of been free
Babe I don't like the guy but he literally owns Facebook
@Natalie E I'm aware he does, but that doesn't change my point that he's an idiot for paying hundreds for what the rest of pay 20 bucks for. Also I was using him as more of a general point then a specific example.
You have no idea what Brunello Cucinelli is do you? Probably never even heard of Isaia, Kiton or Brioni. "Handmade clothing" or "Italian wool" just goes completely over your head.
They’re not idiots if they have the disposable income to buy want they want
I refuse to look like my problems😌. I want to look the absolute complete opposite 😎
Flaunting logos has always been tacky in the UK
I can sympathize a little when I imagin myself rich (lol) I feel like I wouldn't want to be changed much by my wealth and would be drawn to dressing down and not buying tons of stuff but can see also that with tons of money (lol again) that I may choose a t-shirt but I'd absolutely choose one that's gonna look great and would pay more for the convenience of not having to thrift to find some damn cashmere that doesn't fit. I'd pay more for the basics for sure. But I hoooooope my view of what a t-shirt should cost wouldn't change too much. It is subjective though innit? A t-shirt is valued at 10 bucks for us cause that's the value we set it at by the majority of people saying they'll buy it if it's that price. Being in a different class (lower, middle, upper, 1% etc) changes the fish bowl you are contributing those stats to and changes which marketing applies to you. Basically, if you have $15 in the bank you are in the market for ads that have diamond rings for $100 because they know that's just right for you to say "oooh good deal" but if you are a billionaire they market jewelry to you that is worth much more but to each the poor person and billionaire the jewelry marketed to them is valued just right. Funny how we think diamonds should cost more than t-shirts but diamonds can't keep you warm. Rich people are just as susceptible to this weird trick of increased value of items.
This isn’t new. Fashion’s main driver is to appease the wealthy who get annoyed when the “poors” get access to their style through mass production.
Also, more importantly, many wealthy people (men) don’t care to look wealthy because they are. It’s the women who are taxed/burdened with aesthetic prioritization which trickles down to children, et al.
Luxury is also a joke when most things considered luxury are either cheaply made or causing harm via exploitation or negative environmental impact.
The inside joke is that these ultra wealthy people buy simple, practical high quality clothing while stupid people blow their cash on gaudy frivolous garbage.
Literally who cares what rich people like
Lol tbh Americans have been into logo’s since 1900 literally. There’s a book called a the King of Fashion. It’s about Paul Poiret. He was a famous designer of the time. And when he came to America to ensure he had a foothold in the American market. He was disappointed to see Americans solely buy his product for the label rather than the construction of the garment. Interesting to see the elite mirror European elite with da speak style. And it’s funny because they watches can cost more den some peoples entire life😂
New rich: Shows of their wealth
Old school rich: Hides their wealth
😅
Old school rich lived in castles and several acres compounds while being driven around in rolls royces. Who are we kidding here thinking wealth hides their money? New rich just ups it more with super yachts, big private jets and multiple massive properties all over the world. No one is hiding anything except for tax purposes 😂
Seems like a bad money choice to pay $300 for a T-shirt. I feel like if I were wealthy, I wouldn't spend $300 on a T-shirt. i don't have to show it off, but I wouldn't throw it away on a piece of fabric.
