Do some rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, is everything they have in their wardrobe designer, even down to their socks and underwear?

It’s a question I’ve always had.

To clarify, I mean both old money and new money, from high-level millionaires to billionaires. And when I say designer, I mean across the entire spectrum. Not every designer brand is loud and famous like Gucci. What I mean is, do these wealthy people ever buy clothes, underwear, socks, etc., from stores like Walmart, Target, and other regular retailers, or is everything in their wardrobe designer?

    Rich people don’t buy clothes like regular people, they have personal tailors. That or they have famous taliors custom make their clothes.

    They don’t shop anywhere, otherwise they’d be seen by the peasants. Any shopping they’d need done is also probably done by servants. Or slaves, wouldn’t put it past them.

      I take it you’ve never known anyone with more money than yourself? Here in the American South, you can’t tell the rich apart. They shop at Goodwill and the guys on the beach look like drunk homeless people. That lady and her daughter at Goodwill? She owns half of downtown Pensacola.

        Mmm, that’s not the kinda rich I’m talking about. Millionaires don’t count, only 200bil+. The people who own senators and have custom built fortresses.

        Sure millionaires are rich, but they still, as you say, have to shop normally. Just on the high end of normal.

        Also I was friends with an heir from MGM. I’m pretty sure you’re projecting.
