    Luxury items, particularly watches and shoes and shit. Conspicuously ranking your wealth like that is cringe as fuck. “Ah yes, I see you can afford the DoucheKeeper 2121. That’s ok I guess, if you can’t afford the DoucheKeeper 2424.”

    It makes far more sense to just dress well below your “status” imo. Real confidence is being above all that vanity, and real intrigue is keeping people guessing about your “status.” You want to know what I do and how much money I do or don’t have? Get to know me, and you’ll discover none of that shit matters.

      Watches are insane. I’ve seen ones that cost more than a freaking house. And I’m not talking about ones encrusted in diamonds. Just a regular ass looking watch that cost $250k or more.

      I can appreciate people enjoying fashion even if it’s not for me. What I don’t understand are the things that are just regular ass items like a tee shirt, but they printed the name of a brand on it and charged a crazy price for it. Nothing else. No actual design or special manufacturing quality. Just the name of a fashion brand that’s famous for… being the name of a fashion brand that sells clothes that… have their name on it. IS EVERYONE PULLING A PRANK ON ME? WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?
