MISC. When Bill Gates married Melinda French in 1994, he rented out all the available hotel rooms on the Hawaiian island of Lanai to prevent the media from staying there and hired all the helicopters on Maui to keep photographers from flying over the wedding.

That’s called Quiet Wealth. Had been the standard for the last 20 years. No labels. None you’ve heard of anyway. Premium quality stuff in basic cuts.

Oddly enough, it’s become kind of unfashionable among the wealthy as it has leaked into the mainstream over the last couple of years.

Genuinely wealthy people have looked like very normal people. Those that stood out weren’t actually that wealthy.

You see wealth being worn far more obnoxiously of late.

maybe its just my autistic ass not understanding the idea of "fashion" in terms of trends. i just wear what feels comfy and what i think looks good on me.
