Someone needs to tell black people that wearing expensive clothes is not an achievement

its a western mentality. everyone wants to keep up with the jones'; it's not exclusive to black people.

but black people make the least compared to any race.

nothing wrong with being fly

Black men supposed to be drippy.

I just wish we had black equivalents to the European fashion brands.... I also wish we had black equivalents to the European luxury car brands.

nowadays I mainly shop with independent black designers on instagram. but I have alot of euro fashion also from a while ago.

I was fully indoctrinated in high school and college.... I used to be dressed in euro fashion from head to toe wearing c00n-fits.

Hoes love c00n-fits though..... I got alot of p*ssy wearing the white man's fashion brands

Link those designers breh

Fashion goes out of style but style never goes out of fashion.

Most people have no sense of individuality hence why they rely on label’s to look good.

It’s a faux pas to wear more than one statement piece in an outfit and designers despise it.

Link those designers breh

theres way more, but I'm sleepy and cant remember their IG names off the top of my head cause I havent shopped in a while.

Alot of black fashion on instagram.... theres even some black females creating some fly drippy shyt for the fellas.

I havent purchased euro fashion in years.

Nah folks need to stop feeling insecure for not having ‘em. Some folks like to wear nice shyt… they ain’t trying to “flex” on you… that’s ya own issue if you feel that way

You’re confusing price point with the target audience. Just because the price is high doesn’t mean its only meant for the rich.

Millionaires didn’t give a fukk about Virgil Abloh or Pyrex or Off White or anything he was apart of before he blew. The hypebeast kids walking around LA with designer hype brands from head to toe did.

Fashion today is targeted towards the group that people like Nigo and Pharell first cultivated. These are not millionaires. They’re hype beasts. Now you have millionaires wearing Supreme and claiming they’re hype beasts when this used to be an insult on NikeTalk.

They used to try the exclusitivity angle and many of them were knocking on bancruptcy's door because it turns out you actually need volume to survive and can't just jack up the MSRP. There was a time where a bunch of the high end designers felt too good to even put their stuff online and tried to force people to go into the boutiques where they could turn people away. Some felt they were too good for logo tees and logo belts.

Instagram and hype beast culture changed the entire blueprint. And that's mostly based off kids looking up to the Kanyes and Pharell's of the world.

this dude knows what he’s talking about. The online example is factual.

Bragging about owning expensive clothes and shoes while not owning shyt else is what annoys me. But whatever

This!! I never can process someone flashing thousands of dollars or have all that designer on but they still living in an apartment or at a house that's worth under 10k that they're still renting.

Meterial shyt holds no value. Just literally throwing money away. I’m not saying don’t ever buy some nice clothing. I’m not saying don’t put some cash down on a car you really like (yes buy used in cash fukk interest). Just don’t put so much value into material shyt. That money you spent on those $500 sneakers could have gone towards an investment. The more money I have accumulated through time has me spending even less money on material items. The key is to stay out of debt and lower your monthly bills and having great credit helps exponentially. When you can earn a decent living, not live in debt & not blow your money on material items you can live a very comfortable life and get to experience it on a whole new level.
