all the actual rich people i’ve met wear like plain looking clothes that turn out to be expensive. like a plain $300 t shirt like girl why

I feel like the “wear your wealth” aesthetic is less about clothes now and more about surgeries. Lip fillers, bbls, veneers

god fashion is so cylical i couldve sworn you JUST made a video about how people were phasing out minimalism for maximalism and now we're going back to minimalism 😵‍💫

I love that Mina thought about the theme, looked at her wardrobe and said "F all that 'stealth wealth', I'm going full Gatsby on it".

As I was watching this, it occurred to me that this "standard" is one of U.S. and maybe European countries. I'm originally from West Africa and the Sahara and rich people who come from generations of wealth or folks of the upper class all dress very extravagantly in garments with bold patterns and colors and jewelry on a regular basis that we who are middle class or lower class would adorn ourselves with for special occasions like celebrations and events. Just wanted to add that.

After watching your video, the trend of flipping curtains/bedsheets from a thrift store into new garments feels like the modern version of flour sack dresses.

What I hate about this era is that I can have a particular hobby and people want me to make it into a whole aesthetic 😭

"Rich people dress horribly. They have truly awful style." YES! Anna Sorokin nailed real awful rich person style better than anyone on tiktok

I don't know what rich people look like either, but I wouldn't try to 'look rich' because I am NOT RICH and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Social inequality is a thing. Why am I supposed to hide it, if I didn't cause it and am affected by it, just as everybody else is.

'Quiet luxury' is such an odd trend - It's basically just work attire/business casual wear. I find it so odd to be dressing like that outside of the office lol

One of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons is from the 90s is when marge finds a pink Chanel suit at a thrift store and is treated differently whenever she wears it. I highly recommend it.

The ironic thing about the saying, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is that you literally can't do it. It's physically impossible. And yet, the reality of that phrase is lost on so many people who try to use it as some sort of inspirational motto.

I think because Anna Sorokin was successful in wealthy cosplay, many people believe they can do the same.

In america yes the writers are on strike but in the UK nurses, teachers, doctors, train drivers, bus drivers, tube drivers and any job in the public sector are on strike…

I'm a scholarship kid at a super expensive prep academy (it's literally 80k a year for HIGHSCHOOL) and seeing how people present themselves is crazy compared to people I grew up around. The families at my school are mainly new money, since we live in a really techy area, so I don't think there's a lot of purposeful quiet luxury among students or anything- it's more oblivious luxury almost. Like, one of my friends uses a 2022 coach bag for a pencil pouch, and another one of my friends has about 5 different vivienne westwood necklaces that her dad bought because of her brief nana obsession. The same person that has the coach bag was complaining about how they got bored before finals and spent literally 2000$ on clothes for an upcoming trip of theirs... when I said how I wished I had their problem, they responded with, "Do you not have a debit card? Just ask your parents!" And then, when I said that wasn't an option, suggested that they buy stuff for me and I could just pay them back in cash. disclaimer i love my friends they're all so sweet, just oblivious. it's fine tho, i can always make them pay when we go out!!! Relating to the parents, though, (sorry this is super long) I see a lot more refined wealth come through in how they dress at school events and stuff. A lot of what I've learned in your videos taught me how to catch that stuff- they all seem to dress up in formal, non-flashy ways that are still a subtle flex about how well they can afford to style themselves. There is a bit of logo mania among some families, but not often, since working parents don't prioritize flashy stuff as much (even though they're making 400k a year). A majority of my school is first gen asian, too, so I think that might be an aspect of how the parents present themselves- a lot of Asian countries' fashion really emphasizes modesty and minimalism. As for the few old money families, their kids are often harder to pinpoint in class than tech's kids. I thought this one girl in my class was a scholarship kid all through freshman and sophomore year for some reason- turns out, her family owns several private islands, THREE seperate estates, and made the forbes top 20 richest names in 2020. Also, whenever she said she was "going to the gym," she apparently meant her private gym that her parents had built for her. It's all because of how subtle they are with styling- they don't use super expensive brands, just nice quality stuff that would otherwise be on the upper end of accessible. anyways i'm absolutely terrified of these people

When I was a kid, a lot of the clothing felt like wearing a plastic garbage bag. Lots of polyester doubleknit, etc. And when I complained, adults who had grown up in the Depression never failed to say they'd have "loved to have pretty clothes like that - our clothes were made out of flour sacks and feed sacks!" In my mind I saw kids in itchy burlap bags emblazoned with "Gold Medal" and "Purina." But a few years ago, I actually encountered some of that fabric. It was the softest, most breathable cotton I've ever seen. And I think that if I was very wealthy, I'd have a closet full of 1930's vintage flour sack dresses and wear nothing else.

I find it ironic that we’re trying to be seen as rich with clothes that will scream to who is actually part of that class, that we're not. At the end of the day, I think there’s always classism and that’s why people want to look “wealthy”, and separate themselves from the masses and the poor, though they’re in fact part of that mass. It’s the same concept as people buying fake Gucci. It's like wanting to look the part but not playing it in the end, because it's a very exclusive club.

I used to work for a mall that caters to the extremely wealthy. I was shocked at how badly dressed these folks were. Lots of designer clothing that was ill fitting, wrinkled to hell, with boring color schemes. It always made me laugh cause I’m like, these millionaires can’t hire a tailor or a stylist? Lol. Sooo many ungroomed accessory dogs too.

If you feel like you are not stylish enough, remember that most of the stylish rich people / celebrities have stylists. They (not only) have a lot of money to buy "nicer" clothes, but they also have money to pay for the help of people who actually have taste. If you look at most of the well-dressed celebrities, they used to dress poorly at the beginning of their careers. Now, they look much better because they can afford stylists. Old money people could afford stylists from the day they were born

I don't know what it specifically says about us but I know if I suddenly end up that rich, and with the means to sustain that lifestyle I'd be dressing very extravagantly, favouring all of the designers, including indie designers that I couldn't otherwise afford. Alongside getting a number of things custom made.

Black was not only an expression of Protestantism, but also a response to the Spanish prohibition against wearing luxury goods. Read Michel Pastoureau, he has a lot of interesting information about the history of color

Stealth fashion is just rich people trying to disguise as if they're poor, but the thing is it's not your clothes that make you "rich": it's your culture. Your family culture, your education, posture, manners, speech, this rich culture you can't easily disguise

The Secret History by Donna Tart is a novel about a normie who just wants to take a classics class at a small private liberal arts college. The prof won’t let him into the class until he buys the right clothes (second hand) that signifies he’s a person from a family that doesn’t earn money from their own labor, and he realizes how effed up the old money set really are. Considering that The Secret History was the favorite novel for everyone who bought into Dark Academia, I’m convinced no one actually reads because the old money/quiet luxury fans today, were the dark academia fans of yesterday.

This made me think about the term “naco” or “chaka” that we use in Mexico to refer to people who live in the “bad zones” of the city. Often wearing too much color or exaggerated makeup, caps, “brands”, etc. Yeah, fashion is always a matter of classism.

I always find it very telling that "Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" began as an ironic saying as it's impossible to do that.

I work in an industry that has a lot of privately educated, wealthy people around me. Absolutely agree with what you said Mina - they have their own language and social rules on top of everything else so you/I will NEVER fit in with them even if we dressed the same...

We appreciate Mina's dedication and consistency on this channel. She's always the best at what she does.

I love how the characters in Succession wear the most boring clothes but their fits are worth thousands of dollars

Can I just say that over the past year I have become such a huge fan of you because I didn't really realise the socio-historical and economic context of fashion. Mina Le has really opened my eyes to how intentional and deliberate fashion is, and its made me look at my relationship with clothing so much more differently. Not in a way where I feel a need to keep up with trends but learning the history and cultural significance of how people dress, has made me understand how style really is an expression of the self - whether thats good or bad idk but its so fascinating. So thank you Mina Le!

OOO I can finally share this fun fact! The original meaning to the idiom "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was literally to describe AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK, like it *supposed* to be a phrase dripping in sarcasm!! But as we all know language changes and evolves and it's sadly morphed into what Mina described in the video. But think about it...the little loop on the back of your boot, _that's the bootstrap_ , now try to pick yourself up by that.....doesn't really work now does it.

It is quite funny, that in Japan it went the other way around: The merchant class got utterly rich. But social rules prevented them from outpacing the „old money“ in opulence. So they turned to the „quiet rich“ aesthetic: It is called „ike“ and is making an understatement in the most elegant and exquisite way.

I hope the people looking to buy nicer clothes realize that payments for dry cleaning and the effort of hand washing will also be part of the look.

One of the things you said, the "old money" wanting to get away from the "nouveau riche," reminded me of a phrase Edith Wharton wrote in The Age of Innocence (1920) "“it was considered vulgar to dress in the newest fashions; and Amy Sillerton has always told me that in Boston the rule was to put away one’s Paris dresses for two years." It is interesting to see how certain ideas of pleading for "what's in," makes them turn away from people who are not in their circle.

I would say I'm heavily inspired by the "old money/stealth wealth" aesthetic simply because it emphasizes clean tailoring and classic cuts. However, I'm a broke grad student so I'm not fooling anyone with my beige outfits. To me, its more about having a capsule wardrobe that fits in many social settings from baby showers to the office to parties and reduces my need to buy a lot of clothes. I think this can probably be attributed to the fact that "socially acceptable" dressing for different occasions is set by the rich anyway.

Rich people don't seem to necessarily dress any better than anyone else. It depends on what world they're moving in. If they are in the world of entertainment, beauty, fashion or design you can expect them to dress accordingly. If they are wealthy from some boring industry that is not creative or visual they don't dress differently than other people. Gina Rhinehart is the richest woman in Australia and she is not very well put together. You remember that picture of the McCluskys brandishing guns at protesters in their yard? The Mrs. was wearing a t shirt and pull on capri pants and slip on sport sandals that look like they could have come from Walmart. It was probably Anne Klein or Liz Claiborne or Land's End. The guy was wearing a forgettable polo shirt and khakis. They could have been anyone's suburban grandparents.

As someone who lives way below the poverty line, the only way I’ll care about what the wealthy wear is if it’s handcuffs. Excellent video.

Honestly thanks for this. As an older black woman it's good to see the classist and racist dog whistles being exposed.

The ‘old money’ trend on ig is so problematic. I see lots of videos praising them and dissing the ‘new money’ trend when it’s just Streetwear that they appropriated from black and Hispanic people.

This reminds me so much of the Simpsons episode where Marge wears a pink Chanel suit constantly and that gets her into a country club of exclusive women and she feels pressured to constantly wear it/tailor it to fashions to "fit in", despite her being poor otherwise.

what has always drawn me to the "stealth wealth" style (i never knew to call it that but i always liked those minimal pieces) was that they seemed trend-proof. i always struggled with finding clothes that i truly loved (until i could afford them when i got older) and that style seemed like i could buy clothes and not worry about replacing them. to me, fashion is effortful and when i have a closet full of items i don't have to think about, i just know what looks good and can wear them year in and year out, it makes decisions easier. the quicker i can get dressed in the morning (or for any event) the better i feel. rather than the dreaded "i have nothing to wear!" hahah

Also, this trend might explain the way that the Cullens dress in the Twilight series.

Beyond just the padded jackets, the Dutch 17th century look definitely also conveyed wealth in the form of the lace and collars. While they were dressed modestly in black (though often still silk or velvet), all of that hand tatted or crocheted lace was extremely expensive, and blindingly white collar and cuffs during the era before laundering was definitely a signifier that you could afford new items and laundering and that you didn’t have to engage in manual labor that might muss up your pretty cuffs.

You have a point about the manners more than the stylish to recognize someone with money. My father-in-law is a self made bourgeois, comfortable but no very rich. He buys his clothes carefully and discrete so easily can look alike an old money according with this aesthetic but he grew up into poverty! He uses this distinction and his ultra confidence to get admitted into restaurants, shops and social circles. Even my bf and his sister have this confidence that just growing up with money can give you and is impressively shocking when you grew up struggling with that kind of things.

My personal feelings about style in my experience. After going through the 90s and 2000s maximalizum. I hate trends, I'm tired of them. I had so many different shaped item, so many colors and bold prints that just looked tacky, childish and pilled. It was a pain to find things to match. Then there was the embellishments; glue like writing that would peel, sequins that broke, glued on studs that fell off, paint like prints that would crease and crack, studs that fell off, grommets that made holes...ect. Shoes that hurt and pieces broke off. Jewelry that everything fell off of, and I broke so much that I kept a small pliers in my bag. Everything needed mending all the time, and I was constantly fixing things, so i had to keep a sewing kit in my bag. I didn't wear many logos, but anything bigger than a small logo on shoes or a purse, I just find obnoxious. Granted I never bought high end but these maximal styles wore out so quick. Sometimes right after the first wash or wear. I just want nicely cut clothes, nice fabrics, and basic colors and patterns, so everything can mix and match without a lot of fuss. That's basically now considered old money. I'm in my mid thirties, plus sized, and I just want to look decent, quality fabrics, age appropriate and more of a timeless look (as a pose to trendy) without all the effort

personally have never gotten why people are starting to go so crazy online about people wearing an outfit worth more than $10,000 that visually looks like it's from zara. I'm sorry but while people may find flaunting designer from top to bottom ‘cheap-looking’ it honestly really depends on how it's styled. like at least make the outfit look interesting for that amount of money. why I never get people hyping up what gwyenth paltrow wore to court, same with most of ami paris’ collection.

i love mina’s videos because of how much effort she puts into them. a lot of other fashion review youtubers scratch the surface level but she always thinks of new creative ideas to share w/ her audience and goes so in depth w them with research. honestly so impressive especially because she also keeps it entertaining and fun !!!

The entire point of “quiet luxury” is for the rich to signal to other rich people that they are rich. They don’t care what we think, they care what the people they see as on their level or high think. I personally like clothes that are plain and just use accessories to jazz up my outfits. I find it easier to pair clothes together, I don’t want to buy pieces that don’t work with my other clothes.

Rich people are still people. There are people who care about fashion and people who don't. They just have the resources to have any type of clothing possible.

IMO having grown up (not wealthy) in one of the wealthiest parts of the US- clothes themselves usually have relatively little to do with it. Yeah, certain things are popular, but speech, posture, gait, social affectations and personal grooming are 99% of what we perceive in the (especially “old money”) wealthy as well as what they perceive in each other. I guarantee someone who comes from wealth would absolutely still “pass” in a SHEIN dupe of Double RL in most situations, and an average person in 15k of Chanel wouldn’t. It’s wild to me that it’s currently trendy to ‘’look rich” mostly for moral reasons but also because the rich people are almost positively going to immediately know you aren’t one of them no matter how expensive your clothes lol

I know a few multimillionaires. None of them are particularly interested in fashion. Most live their lives similarly to any college-educated middle class American except they have larger homes in expensive neighborhoods. I have a distant connection to an honest-to-goodness socialite. That’s a completely different lifestyle.

I wore a plain black baseball hat almost exactly like Kendall’s for a couple years and the amount of shit I got for it by randos and family was insane. Shoulda said I paid $600 (in reality it was free 😬) Edit - ps I love your channel, Mina. Thank you for the deep dives! ❤

The headwear is such a slay. It’s giving Logan’s helmets in the office.

I've always dressed like this (super minimalist) - literally black navy, cream, and denim... not because I was trying to look rich but because I simply couldn't afford to dress any other way and I couldn't buy new stuff every month (years some times), so this is what worked - a selection of "quality" timeless items, albeit from fast fashion houses, that could go together and would last. It is just practical. I'm not going to go into debt keeping up with Fashion.

Rich people wear whatever they want lol. Anna Wintour is very rich and very stylish and definitely doesn’t dress boring and she wears logos…small ones but they’re there. So while some wealthy people wear more muted clothing, some rich folks wear louder styles too. The rich just wear what they like 🤷‍♀️

I made a pinterest board named "Boring Teacher Outfits" a few years ago when I was starting my job. Now I realise most of the outfits are quiet luxury. Nothing flashy, tailored trousers and minimalist jewellery...

Fantastic as always. I feel like an old piece of wisdom applies very well here- "Money can't buy taste."

i dont know anything about how rich people dress but the whole time i was watching succession i was thinking “don’t these people have enough money to wear better outfits?”, this explains it lol

The couple of rich people I've met (through sailing) wear a lot of like, salmon pants. So there's that variety of rich people outfits out there. (like, literally dressed like the 'my dad is a lawyer' meme)

Love this topic, Mina! Hygiene is also a big part of what makes someone appear wealthy, imo. Healthy, shining skin, hair and nails displayed by using elegant, minimal makeup, polish, a simple cut. The smell of an upscale perfume. The appearance of good health in general seems to signify wealth for many.

such a 1920s look Mina, I live for it

Since I’ve been listening to your podcast, I am even more impressed with the way you unpack these topics and the amount of thought you put into presentation and semantics. I loved the interview with Avery and the way you two bounced ideas and knowledge of each other. Kudos, Mina! With love from BedStuy 💌

I feel like the bling era was so fun, i was a kid and I loved how relatable and sparkly everything was from cheap blings and necklaces and a whole outfit of stuff, don't forget the sequin fedora!

I love and appreciate how you include research in your videos from all different sources I would have never heard of. And how you combine academic sources and everyday sources like magazines! Great video as always. 🙂

you’ve literally said it. These people think rich people are a monolith and think if they just act a certain way or buy a certain way they could be part of their world but that will never be the case

The feedsack clothing really peaked my intrest. If you ever want to do a deepdive into rural fashion and thriftiness I am down to watch it

Jobs is really not that basic. The turtleneck is Issey Miyake, it seems that Jobs was a fashion nerd (I always picture Cher shouting ‘it’s Alaia’) to know who Miyake was in the late 80’s. Zuckerberg and BC is also a topic as well as the tech obsession with Patagonia. I would honestly love a video on ‘tech uniform’ and the differences in dress code between sales/marketing/product parts of the company.

Well, gorgeous Mina, you are quoting Pierre Bourdieu right down to the last detail! My sociology heart blooms. He coined the term „Habitus“ to describe the way social groups differentiate each other and recognize each other - exactly not just by cloth, but by manners, views on life, knowledge. I can highly recommend his theories. Also about the differentiation between sources capital: economic, cultural, symbolic and social.

the "ludicrously capacious" bag scene in succession is still so top tier and really does characterize the roy family!

Really great video just like always! Just wanted to also mention that the editing in this video is really great as well! Very much enjoyed the style in this one!

Similar to Succession (fashion-wise, at least, as i haven't watched it) is the NBC Hannibal show, with the way Hannibal is dressed so elegantly and sophisticated, in stupidly expensive custom suits, but still understated at the same time, in this "quiet-luxury" manner that you talked about. So i definitely say its worth taking a look at. Maybe even watching the show ;)

Mina I love your videos because every time you do a trending topic you always bring something new to the convo and surprise me with your insight. Thanks for having something to say

Mina, this essay is AWESOME and you should use that headpiece everyday, everywhere. Please do it for us.

This was fun, super interesting, and I absolutely love your outfit and backdrop, if you will. So pretty!

I absolutely love these in depth think pieces on fashion and how it extends beyond just fashion in the modern world but also where it originated... your content is truly dense with information and thought provoking pieces and i can only hope you do more and more while staying true to yourself 💕

This was such a fascinating analysis of coded 'rich' fashion. The normcore look feels like a pretentious way for the wealthy to 'blend with the regular folk' while still holding onto their status. Mina, I'd love to hear an alternative take on this topic with why the wealthy can get away with wearing tacky clothing, as many do today. Take the garish outfits worn on the Met Gala or during an annual award show in L.A., for example. Do we actually love these outfits and their bold choices, or are we condoning it because they are upper class / celebrities when we would vehemtly scrutinize a middle or lower class individual for wearing the same garment?

Loved the video Mina. extremely informative and in a fun way ! (LOVE ur outfit)

I love the extended cut of these videos that we get with the podcast! It's always fascinating. Personally, I do not understand trends beyond their utility in discovering what you as a human actually like and want to wear. Like, do you really like a style that much when you're just going to drop it when the next shiny thing comes out? People's tastes and sensibilities evolve, I know, but it's just so exhausting to try to keep up!! (I say as I sit on my couch hand sewing an 1840s inspired historybounding jumper dress)

Stealth wealth/quiet luxury looks so anemic! I remember pining away for Ralph Lauren styles once upon a time, but now I want to wear something bright and creative that won't fall apart like Shein.

You really explained the subject very very well! Thank you so much for that!!!

We have a rich family friend who donates her clothes to us, and it’s always the simplest items with the most comfortable materials that fit her really well because she’s able to afford a seamstress to fix it to her size. And she donates clothes often so that her wardrobe always fits her no matter her size, if she needs it again she’ll just buy it again

I find tech-bro fashion interesting. When it came on the scene, it wasn’t only a laissez-faire approach to fashion or flex about not caring about image. It also signaled a desire to disrupt previous notions about business as usual. It conveyed a youthful, approachable, yet still male-centric attitude toward innovation.

Just wanted to say that Veblen's book The theory of the leisure class is an amazing book and I recommend it to everyone interested in economics or fashion history 😏

I adore this channel and your breakdowns of style trends😍 it makes so much sense

When I watched The Staircase (which is about a bunch of mostly insufferable medium-rich people in the Recession-era 2000s) I kept getting distracted from the literal murder plot because I was just like "EW what are those clothes"--they were just *offensively* boring. Now I have a better idea of why.

I got flashbacks from ContraPoints "Envy" (my favorite video on KZfaq), this is such an important topic, thank you for covering it. And I do not mean the rich person aesthetics ;)

YESSS, I WAS LITERALLY HOPING FOR YOU TO DO A VIDEO ON QUIET LUXURY AND OLD MONEY AESTHETIC

yay new Mina Le video!! excited to watch this!!

This video is so good and I loved that you talked about this topic! Please make the video about aesthetics you mentioned, I think that topic is really interesting and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Just cited this video because it was crucial in helping me finish my assignment on The Great Gatsby! Thankyou so much for your educated insight and material.

Mina, your channel is fantastic. The edition, the looks, the setup, the research and the script are always so well taken care of! I love the subjects you choose and I'm really pleased by the quality of this project. I can really tell you put attention to every little detail to create something that brings this much joy and confort to people. It truly does for me. I wish you the best luck!

you def can pull it off !! everything i see you in is always stunning

An acquaintance of mine who comes from wealth and makes a hell of a lot of money is reluctant to buy anything inexpensive, or even just anything expensive by anyone else's standards - he'll hesitate at a hundred-dollar shirt, but he'll be all over an $800 one. He also just about exclusively buys greys and neutrals, and balks at, like, forest green. I have the same question for him and for all "old money" dressers (the ones that come from or have money, not the social climbers) as I have for Andrew Tate with his sparkling water: do you actually like it? Do you. Actually. Like it. I can't imagine having more money than you could ever dream of spending, enough to buy yourself anything you want and damn the social consequences of anything you do, and still caring more about class signifiers than your actual goddamn happiness. What is the point of wealth if you have to keep up with the billionaire Joneses? What is the point of having enough money and social capital to commission, like, a massive mosaic for the floor of your pool, or a wardrobe full of exact replicas of extant flapper dresses, or literally anything else your heart desires, if you let yourself give a damn about the class signifiers that you're rich enough to avoid all the social consequences of disobeying? What is the goddamn point of never having to worry about material needs ever again, if you're so up your own ass about it that you think neon pink is beneath you? I dont make enough to have my own bedroom in the apartment I rent, but by god when I clock into the job I hate I am dressed in a way that I love. I can't imagine giving up beauty in pursuit of - not even in pursuit of money, because they already have that, but in pursuit of just fitting in. Putting aside the idea of "not flaunting your wealth" - because if rich people actually cared about that, they'd buy a capsule wardrobe of Costco jeans and donate the difference to charity - it just can't be worth it. I can't imagine what level of mind-melding with late-stage capitalist consumerism could possibly make it worth it.

Thank you for a superbly researched video, brilliantly presented and recited. Also, I totally agree with your views. Please keep on posting! Much love 🎉❤

the joy i felt at seeing you did a succession video is unmatched

Love you long time, Mina, but I think this is your best researched and most thought-provoking video so far! Thank you for your fabulousness 💕

Oh my god. Just got to the part of the video where Mina talks about the idea of a rich person's uniform being a mythology. I've seen the exact same discussions in Paris FB groups I joined to get tips on places to see besides the obvious. So many women there, mainly American women, were obsessed with dressing like Parisians to "blend in" and not stick out as a tourist. As if Parisians had an unspoken dress code that needed to be cracked. I'm seeing the exact same thing happen with Quiet Luxury and Stealth Wealth.

I love you Mina, your videos always make my day 🫶🫶

I love getting ready for work and watching/listening to your videos haha

Oh my GOSH I’ve been waiting for this video since u mentioned it in the podcast I’m 😭😭😭😭

Clothing culture is so insane. Even watching this, the prediction of “outfit repeating” is wild to me bc I cycle the same 5 shirts, 3 pants, and 2 shoes. Some of those shirts I’ve been wearing for like 8 years. I understand the appeal of dressing fashionably but it’s so expensive??? Like I genuinely don’t understand how people can afford to buy new clothes constantly
