Do some rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, is everything they have in their wardrobe designer, even down to their socks and underwear?

It's a question I've always had.

To clarify, I mean both old money and new money, from high-level millionaires to billionaires. And when I say designer, I mean across the entire spectrum. Not every designer brand is loud and famous like Gucci. What I mean is, do these wealthy people ever buy clothes, underwear, socks, etc., from stores like Walmart, Target, and other regular retailers, or is everything in their wardrobe designer?

For a given value of rich, sure.

But you'd be surprised how many aren't brand hounds, or don't go fancy designer when they are.

You won't see anyone that's wealthy going you Wal-Mart, but they may send someone out to get something there. But some of the merely rich will go into a store like that if they need something quick.

I would say that the ones I worked for (maybe a double handful) and their friends that I had communication with were snobby as hell overall, but usually in odd ways. Not necessarily a Gucci kind of thing, but maybe ll bean for almost everything. One patient I had pretty much owned a bank, and that was him and his wife.
