As I was scrolling through my Facebook I saw this photo and how the image discribes the poor to be a kind of people that wears expensive thing to impress people to look like the rich, and the other way round, the rich appears to be simple probably not to be noticed as a rich person. My question now is that,

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?

Every one has a definition of what luxury actual mean to them, the "poor" from the picture you sent obviously see dressing as a way to showcase luxury to him, but the "rich" might have a different area he expresses his own display, might be houses, cars etc, you can't place a particular standard to luxury.
That poor guy night not even be coming from a decent home, he has dressing might have dressing as a priority, can still be a misplaced priority from his end which can contribute to why he is poor.
Luxury can be sent from different angles just like you have e explained. When you are buying things you don't need at the moment is a form of trying to impress the public and it can be seen as luxury especially when they are of high class. The rich have the resources to get what they want but that might be unnecessary at that particular time. The poor jas nothing to showcase that to get funds taking care of their present needs. Some that like to impress the public would want to get expensive things to make it looks like they have arrived, this normally ends up buying fake clothes and jewelries that worth nothing to the rich. Not here to side any party but I think everyone has there own priority when it comes to buying of necessary things.
