Why is there such an obsession with appearing wealthy and boring? In recent times, quiet luxury has made a comeback, with influences from shows like Succession and the trend of #OldMoneyAesthetic on TikTok.
However, this obsession reflects a longstanding American fascination with the lifestyle of the super rich.
Despite their wealth, many of these individuals have poor fashion sense.
Take for example the characters on Succession, who dress in expensive clothing that lacks originality and taste.
These individuals represent the 1% who profited from the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is dangerous to idolize them and equate wealth with good taste.
In reality, if the ultra-rich truly cared about fashion, they would invest in more unique and interesting pieces instead of basic and overpriced items..
