Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor? Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?
Poor people dress like how they think rich people dress. Poor people do not have a lot of expensive clothing and luxury items so once they have at least once they will bring it with them everywhere and show it off as much as they can.
While rich people, and I mean the richest ones, are more quiet and classy about their clothes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very expensive but it doesn’t look cheap and tacky. Most likely the brands they wear are so expensive that most people have not even heard of it which is why probably people think the rich are not wearing something expensive. Rich people are not buying cheap clothes. They are just not showing off their wealth because they don’t need to be validated.
Even if they want to look rich, but poor people do not have the capabilities to afford the luxury that rich people can easily get. That's why when it comes to luxurious outfits and materials, it's only the real rich ones can actually afford to buy it, while the poor ones may only afford those class A items, not actually the original ones, so they can still look rich and classy like how the rich ones were seen.
