How to dress well

My personal idea is to imagine what I want to look like, getting them tailored well, and if I'm not feeling like detailing it yet, I can just select readymade fashion. In either case, I plan my budget on a spreadsheet.

Now let's take a look at The Style Theorists' video: "How to Dress Rich".

Key points

• The rich don't wear flashy outfits to stand out
• Pop stars like Cardi B or Billie Eilish tend to buy flashy Guccis
• The history of fashion in new money and old money
  • There's old money and new money
  • Old money is generational wealth
  • New money is about people who just hustled their way to the top
  • In the 1700s-1800s, the rich used more fabric and expensive dies
  • As the 1900s neared, the poor got wealthier and it was getting hard to distinguish who were the old rich
  • The war started and broke the economy
  • That's when quiet luxury started
  • The old rich learned not to stand out too much, but instead just blend in
  • Flaunting their wealth would get them ostracized for it by media (#EatTheRich)
• Quiet Luxury
  • It was also known as Stealth Wealth
  • It's all about being subtle
  • Quiet luxury is about minimalism and having a custom tailor fit
  • Minimalism includes clean lines, simple silhouette and neutral or natural colours (black, white, beige)
  • They may also add in small simple pieces of accessories, as opposed to big flashy jewellery
  • They choose brands that are not well known, but the people who know do know them
  • They do not care about standing out
• New Rich
  • They tend to wear flashy items, with the biggest highlight being that the brand name is known
  • The brand name is a status symbol
  • So in addition to drawing attention to themselves, they want to draw attention to their wallet
  • They keep following trends as they change
