What to wear when you're nouveau riche

[impossibleprincess]

...you would dress like Victoria Beckham and illustrate all your insecurities by having a boob job, hair extensions, nail extensions, botox, and dressing in as much trashy dolce as you can possibly buy, even though you don't even look too good in it. But as long as you're dressing like you have money, you don't care.

 

[impossibleprincess]

We shouldn't all point fingers aux nouveaux riches look at Zara Philips you don't get money older than her but...


Or is that okay because her money is old? if yes *cough*-hypocrisy*coug*

....I wouldn't let her off. Basically, in Britain, aside from William, (and thats digging the barrell too)none of our Royal Family are good looking. Therefore, we take the first blonde, young one we can find, and make her a style icon, even though she can't dress to save her life and is completely fugly. She's completely media made, and the only time anyone paid any attention to her is when she turned up to some party in a red dress with her boobs hanging out. Before that, she wasn't the most popular member of the Royal Family.

Just remember, if people call you a "label ", it just means they're jealous of your fabulous wealth.

Oh, and don't forgot your Dior watch...

Oh thankyou, I can't believe I forgot that!

If I was a nouveau riche I'd wear:

dark green dior homme shirt with small flower pattern from S/S 05
burberry prorsum pinstripe trousers
Abercrombie & Fitch multi colored striped canvas belt
Nike sweatband on my right wrist
Dior Homme wristkerchief on my left wrist
Carpe Diem boots

Guess I better tell my grandma to ditch her Hermes bag and Louis Vuitton Luggage least she be mistaken for nouveau riche

Growing up, whenever I heard whispers (because people shouldn't discuss such things) about the "nouveau riche" among us, it was always in the context of first (and sometimes second) generation "money." I've never really heard it used in terms of fashion choice - only attitude (namely stuck-up, rude, or inconsiderate) – although applying it to fashion makes a certain amount of sense.

Neither jealousy, nor we know it all (understatement is the key to elegance), the thing is, Jump, that this thread is one of the funniest, most prozac-like around and watching the outfits Arturo21 or morgan38 create on such a chavtastic way, makes my day. It just makes me laugh, it even gets me high, so it is only about humour and ironically pointing at the fact that Marketing is killing fashion & individualism.
As a contributing editor, all I can tell you is that this was a key issue during Fashion Week AW 05/06 and it will have consequences regarding the way brands are perceived. I guess I will even write an article about this pathology fashion is going through, since who could ever imagine that Logos would be at the same time fashion's worst enemy & best sales friend?

Iconemod - Please do share the article with us . As for what you said, I agree with you 100%. Marketing is individualism.

Jump - It's not jealousy, people here don't want to look like cheap trash a la Paris Hilton (It has nothing to do with riches, for me at least, just the ness). That was unnecessary and offensive of you. However, I don't mind so much as that commen basically backfires on you if you think about it.

 

[ingenue]

arturo21: your avatar is hoooot... i mean, thats hot!

 

[BrothaG]

Damn, I had basically forgotten about this thread! I'm glad its doing so well.
Okay, a new look:

This amazing top with nice white pants to show my lifted *** to every rich guy in LA

This bag

With matching shoes

And these shades to sparkle you into eye-surgery

If this outfit wasn't covered with all the humungous logo's and tacky details, it could actually look good
