What to wear when you're nouveau riche

[fashionista-ta]

How about the HUGE Pony Polo signs? Okay, we get it, you're wearing Ralph Lauren, we could see it just fine when it was 4 inches smaller! Also note the flipped color

the italians!!
a few years back it was a HUGE trend in italy, designer john richmond made these trainwrecks of jeans and sweatpants with the word RICH on the butt. they cost a lot too, and the denim/fit of the jeans was crap. they were seriously paying like 300 euros for wal-mart quality jeans with RICH printed on the ***.

sadly I still see people wearing them now and then.

^ It would be sad if the wearers didn't deserve it so much

I considered making a polyvore outfit for this topic because it would be fun but I would have to put a disclaimer since I wouldn't want anyone thinking I actually like those things.

^ The whole thread is tongue in cheek

Of course we are inclusive & the nouveau riche are welcome to participate & sometimes do ... We get the occasional post, "Oh, but I like that ... I have that pair of pants!!"



You may get the opportunity to influence an actual nouveau riche, so choose wisely ...

^ I also feel the shoes should "match" ...



And for Mr Nouveau ...

good god, where are the logos? with no logos, NOONE will know how much you paid for it!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Sorry, are they too small?

I've got one Chloe, at least 3 Vuitton, and 2 Dior ... too few do you think? Probably also Tom Ford, but pic too small to see ...

 

[ChloeFrancoise]

I made a polyvore for it...and I'll never be able to look at it again. It's too much for me. I can't even edit it to make the pictures bigger because looking at this makes me nauseous but it was fun to intentionally create something to be tacky and not to make something in good taste.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Ooooh, the shoes are fantastic & should be immediately substituted for the orange ones I posted above

the Vuittons are teensy tiny! it has to be visible from a mile that you got too much money and absolutely no idea what to do with it

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Sigh ... I have a lot to learn

You are all cracking me up -- I agree with street, huge logos are required at all times!

I love those guys who clearly don't have a clue who Calvin Klein is and yet they are ready to sport his name on their underwear - same with Dolce!
Love both of those designers but both can be used so badly by new money.

(and yes, that's an Armani Exchange beach towel)

^ Thanks for the complete outfit ... the nouveau riche they are not minimalists
