Luxury Fashion is For Poor People 

PerioD

Do you know most poor people?

Literally!!!

@@stellviahohenheim You and @lemonscentedandclean might live in different countries/on different continents and therefore have different definitions (in terms of amounts of money) of being poor.

Agree from ( Myanmar / Burma )

EXACTLY. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Exactly, you sure as heck don't need clothes.

Fit is king. No point in having something really nice but it doesn't fit you properly. Being fit helps with that.

SPOT ON comment! my sister can literally walk through a goodwill store, full of cheap used clothes, and by the time she's done she looks amazing ...

Actualy i love the mix of specific brands to make outfits, Example ,i love Louis Vuitton belt, it give a nice touch to the outfit, i'm not for the brand , but i'm for the monograms, i hate when peoples dress to flex, and i love when peoples dress to make art. Often peoples try to act like i flex if there is something related to a brand, meanwhile what i do is, just i wear what i like and mix and match. Sometimes i even go and play with specific brand pallete, which mean, a LV belt with a combo of a brown shirt and trousers, with a western khai hat, and it looks like is actualy a whole set, which is not. If you got my idea, i love to do that, is like i put my self to follow specific rules. Gucci also, Green, Brown, Red. Is really funny to try. And sometimes when i'm not in mood ,i just go for what other colors i want, but mostly i love to make Balenciaga inspired outfit, which is full black, with some crazy glasses, or touches of red. But is a bit hard, as i wear formal clothes all the time, so mixing and matching formal for that is hard a bit.

Mostly is not Designer clothes, is Turkish, and that. Is not real brand. If you look most accesible thing for peoples would be from Gucci that are socks and it cost like 75$ But i'm sure there are peoples that eventualy pay even more than that for Originals.

High-end Luxury Fashion is just another scheme the ultra wealthy use to take more money from us. People these days have no common sense and have been brainwashed by social media like instagram, tik-tok etc and are following one another with these stupid trends thinking they're cool for wearing items that costs more than they can afford just for status. That's not what fashion is about. It's not about the brand but how you put everything together to make a fit. Stop being so braindead people.

There's nothing luxury about luxury. Luxury is what the rich sell to the poor & middle class to basically advertise for them

Hey, somebody has to buy retail.

the brand, may as well resemble the brands i see on cattle.

Amen.

Actually no. There is Acessible Luxury and there's Premium Luxury (Old Money brands that people might not even know the name or have acess to because you get into a waiting list or have to acquire networking for such). Luxury is about the history/craft/dream, but there are other subdivisions of Rich-People-Brands that we, as consumers, will never know of.

That is such a good saying! 'True luxury is not having to worry about bills' Very true. 😊

I agree! My wife and I started out with nothing, she became a lawyer and I start a small business, we worked very hard, invested our money in stocks and real estate, and now many years later we retired fairly early. My only vices are my GT3 and a few nice Swiss watches, but those are long term assets that I love and will lose little to no money, unlike $10,000 jackets or purses.

So true. I feel so much richer now without my luxury handbags. (Sold them). All my bills are paid without a blink.

Except they will wear expensive watches. Some for upward of 100k-500k. But they will hide it under the suit cuff and admire on their own.

I love all kind of style, that's how i born my style lol. I think all those things with Quiet, or Yelling ,or Flexing are just pointless, often peoples give me Tags of how i "flex" or stuff ,meanwhile what i do is simple ,i get what i like and i mix and match.

@@SuitedSkaterLion no offense, but those people you're referring to already know they have it. Mean while you and I will never understand their sophistication on why they own those things because we can't afford it. I don't mean the mainstream brands that everyone defaults their taste on luxury. Their taste is more suited on things that are more bespoke (unlike Gucci, Versace, etc..).

No logos don't mean inexpensive. Actually, what they're wearing is very expensive.

Because they look good by having quality tailored clothes. He is correct, luxury brand names are for poor people. But you can look put together by buying mid-tier mayerials, having it tailored, making sure the cut and colors fit you. They can hire stylists to do the work for them, but anyone can research this on their own. Most neighborhoods have a tailor. I would actually recommend investing in a quality haircut instead. The watches and jewelry work more like art pieces, they are only valuable if you can afford the insurance to replace them, but actually have massive markups of 1000%+, and unless they are stolen, lose a lot of value on the resale. The diamond engagement ring is considered the most successful marketing campaign of all time. Diamonds aren't rare,their sale are just restricted. Which is why DeBeers has campaigned hard against lab created diamonds and immediately buys up any land where they are found. A lot of these people only stay wealthy by not spending money. Expensive homes and yachts are stupid expensive to maintain, and can easily put millionaires into the poor house if their income is not managed properly. Which is why normies don't understand why there are so many abandoned mansions. Despite what we think, outside of old money in a handful of people, millionaires hang onto their wealth an average of 20 years. Which is why the lower class doesn't understand why some millionaires seem to work constantly, as opposed to only earning their money once and retiring. Maintaining wealth can be a cost in itself when you have to pay so many people just to manage it.

I agree taste is more important. However you can buy it, it’s called finishing school…

@@user-kf5wk9be1salso just observing what people wear and what and how they inspire you. For example, there’s guys fits I’ll compliment is i see sumn that’s fire-it’s good to give a lil boost to someone’s day and it’s nice to get them back others.

Taste varies. Lifestyles vary. Artists disagree. Depends upon what is most valued by you and your specific affinity group.

They also get very different shopping experience. And that is one big reason celebrities are often decked with brand items. They can't go casually shopping around. So these stores close for them, or bring the stores to their home. If they don't find what they liked, they still buy something for the effort.

They do not promote/work for others. They are the ones in charge.

If alleged quality is not also luxurious, it is not really quality, either. One does get what one pays for - True freedom is not being attached to creature comforts.

There’s plenty of well off people who aren’t into fashion.

Sure bro that happened.

How can you live in an wealthy area, but only describe actual wealthy people 😂 As if you are not a part of that community, and are just an observer.

@@sk1984 You can't handle basic thought, can you? Or basic reading skills.

All parts of the middle class partake in this. Middle class = 3 tiers of people living in debt, lower, middle, and upper. The bigger the pay check, the more monthly expenses they have.

Lol poor people can go hiking and mountain biking

Camping, mountain biking, and hiking is an upper middle class thing only? Lol wut?

@@EverTruu It isn't that poor people can't do those things; it is that they generally choose not to. How many poor people go to the opera?

​@@threethrushes the opera? lol even non-poor people generally choose to not go.

True. People assume the real wealthy don’t spend that much money, mark wear custom made plain T shirt with no branding to give the idea that his clothing is the same as the average Joe. This people do spend on luxury items, it’s just that the brand they normally wear is not the usual ones you find with the middle class and poor.

I think that's pretty much what he was saying to the whole video. I think we're all paying attention.

You don't become wealthy without understanding good v bad investments. A logo piece that won't hold up to wear is just a bad investment. Often the wealthy have a tailor and a dressmaker to make their clothing for them, drive beat up cars and have kids playing rec league sports. They KNOW they have money and power - they dont need validation.

Wrong use of the word investing. You’re not making a penny off those utensils so it’s all an expense.

​@@kiuk_kiksI invest in my health and my family's health by making almost everything from scratch. No additives or harmful packaging.. Etc Clothes and bags are pretty much useless 99%of the time

Same thing with handbags and shoes! I love cooking as well ❤

When you're using them everyday, and they bring convenience to your life. I think it's safe to use that word. More so getting something that provides value almost becoming an essential. I think technically you're still correct. ​@@kiuk_kiks

​@@kiuk_kiksvalue can be measured in more than one way.

You know dam well that never happened 😭😭 bro ppl just straight up lying in the comment section 💀

Lol, the more names, the bigger the billboard. It looks ghetto. ​@Girlyppop

​@@Girlyppop its a skit. But in text.

Bro who cares what you wear shut up

​@@Girlyppoplet the guy live his fantasy..even if its a lie it still shows where his mind is at.

I think that always the Broke peoples that try to act rich make the quote you said about "Establishing a reputation", because most of high brands don't try to estabilish anything but to be different from other brands, mostly the costs are because they try to come with unique ideas, and also the crafting take alot of time and is expensive as in most case they try to use the best stuff. Is like you go to a Tailor for a suit or you buy a suit from shein, you know there will be a difference, that's with the brands too, idk where it come from that peoples say that the brands cover you in logos, look for all brands there are clothes that have the brand, and there is clothes they make with the brand tag inside the clothes not outside...

@@SuitedSkaterLion I think you you missed the point of what I was saying and also what was said in the video. Many Luxury brands, for a fact, entice people to “build a reputation” with the brand by buying thousand and thousands of dollars of their product in order to receive special invitations to buy the more exclusive pieces common folk do not have the privilege to buy direct from the retailer. E.g.: IN THE VIDEO Curiosities says “you cannot just walk into Hermes and buy a Birkin Bag” that’s because you have to BUILD A REPUTATION in order to buy one direct from Hermes. That’s what I’m saying is the scam

​@donk8105 They want to be far away from the regular people. They only want the non wealthy to serve them.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard 😂

That’s stupid. It might apply to socks or underwear but that’s it.

Huh? Lol

Generally buying 3 clothing item that are the same is a sign that you’ve given up on life.

Well, guess I can get a house then. I’ll have to buy at least 3 of em huh?

I sew my garments too. But it started with me wanting to use my hand more. Now I see the benefit.

Hazard clear

This RU-vidr (@curiousBash) is a *SHAMELESS PLAGIARIST!* He ripped off a MUCH BETTER video called *Luxury Fashion Is For Broke People* released 3 months prior and changed the word *Broke* to *Poor* in his copycat title. How brilliant! Want proof? 13:26 Here's his BARELY PARAPHRASED animal analogy and the use of the word _douchy_ compared to the plagiarized source: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGDB22dpmwk.html 18:33 Here's the reference to the _$625 featureless hat_ from *Succession* and _"stealth wealth" conversations:_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGDB22dpmwk.html He also uses the exact same bag clip from that show to make the exact same point using barely paraphrased words. These are examples I identified from that one source and the other bits are very likely stolen from other videos.

They do. You're just not familiar with the luxury brands they have on.

My Professor went to China and had a bunch of fancy suits made for him. There’s a documentary that shows how even the high end designers get their materials from China.

This is a very sad and scary thing, because the people spending so much on luxury items are distorting the market. Normal people with common sense now have to spend more on crappy clothing that provide no prestige, and the quality is bad.

What are you talking about? Fashion is as cheap as it’s ever been historically. Maybe you just noticed inflation.

@hansmemling2311 It's possibly also because I live in South Africa. Many of the Developing countries get cheap junk clothing dumped on us and quality items and clothing are too expensive for normal people.

@@GloryDaze73unfortunately the biggest reason quality isn't affordable anymore is because people's standards have dropped considerably. Fashion brands can get away with selling at high price but low quality because consumers only care about the design not the quality. This in turn means that the few companies that do produce good quality have less and less customers and therefore have to raise the price.

I've seen dozens of people over the last 8 years in the workforce in jobs that make less than 30k a year who buy these stupid brands. Poor people are 100% buying this. A lot? No. But still some. Clothes, cars, trips, I've seen it all.

Being poor and/or having bad taste in fashion doesn't make someone "trashy," but acting like you're better than those people because you have money, certainly does.

Yeah, I watched that video right before this. Déjà vu..

Yep. Even used the same clips, and for the Birkin bag segment, for example, used the same sentences and wording ("primal"). Too bad, I like the video, but he definitely stole the script.

Singapore 😅

Specially for this dude that’s from South Africa 😂 i been to Johannesburg and i can guarantee you that “poor people” in his county would never be able to afford a 500 dollar hoodie

Credit card

@@boredscientist5756how much do you get paid monthly as a poor person in Singapore? Do all poor Singaporeans have high income jobs?

@@MrAndrewsAdventuresyou understand to have a high credit limit in the tens of thousands of dollars you need to have good credit and it should be difficult for poor people to maintain good credit. On top of that, you have to repay the debt, it’s not free money.

Paying intrest on it as well..losing money all which way..

Marriages ae a scam anyway.

Don't buy fast fashion!

I'm learning this

Why does one need pictures if the experience is sufficient?

You can pass on your trinkets to others. I have watches, cufflinks, fountain pens, artwork which I hope will be inherited by my non-existent children!

@@threethrushes Good idea...I did just that with one of my watches....i have ABSOLUTELY no problem doing same with the rest of my valuables...

Lmao exactly. They’re also trying to impress strangers lol

Plenty of young people and people in general wear things with logos who are no poor. It entirely spends on your circle, location, net worth, spending preferences and more. Sure, some may not have much money but that’s also subjective. I agree financial literacy is extremely important though.

You’re just a middle age person whos given up on style and fashionable, nothing wrong with that. But there’s nothing wrong with fashion brands and enjoying fun clothing either.
