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?

No. Just the wannabees and the posers.

    They wear designer stuff, it's just that most of us can't tell. Dude on YT (Chasing Beauty) does great shorts on fashion history and the differences in quality. Sounds boring, very fascinating.

    An example: I still remember a young women I saw one day in Franklin, TN. She was pretty enough, in a normal sort of way, but something about the plainness of her clothes and her poise reeked of class and wealth. I can't describe it, but after watching that guy on YT, I have a better understanding of why a T-shirt can cost $200 and what the differences are in that and a $10 T-shirt. She had the $200 blouse, yet it was plain as could be.
