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?

The quiet luxury is pretty darn close. There are now brands that are known as "quiet luxury" brands, but that's another attempt to let less wealthy people feel wealthy by now buying these quiet brands. Searching quiet luxury and reading up on it will probably give you the most information.

But they wear brands without logos, without obvious tags. They buy high quality, classic neutrals that never go out of style. They have their own tailors so nothing is "off the rack". Either extremely quiet brands, speciality boutiques that no one can just walk in uninvited, or bespoke from a tailor. They probably order socks and underwear from those ultra quiet brands too. Even the $30-45 per pair high end underwear from places like Nordstrom are brands they would probably never touch.
