No Money, Designer Clothes? No Problem.
Ever thought “I was going to buy a new Toyota for $30,000, but I think I’ll buy a jacket instead.” No? Well, as someone who has thought things along these lines, let’s talk about it!
Show of hands, whose spent $1,000 or more on an article of clothing.
Okay, now whose spent $1,000 or more on a hoodie.
Chances are, most hands were up for the article of clothing but down for the hoodie. Why? because hoodies are typically cheap and the article of clothing could be a three-piece suit, a dress for prom or even wedding attire. I’ve bought suits for $1,000 before. I bought a two-piece for $950 and followed it with a $1,200 Versace sports coat! I’m content with the suit purchase; however, the jacket was stupid.
How much would you spend on a hoodie? $30? $100? $500? How about $8,500 for the Louis Vuitton x Supreme Logo Box Hoodie shown below?
I can’t think of a better use of $8,500! Do you see the craftsmanship on that thing?!
I’m joking, of course. If you’re rich, it’s not a problem to spend mad cash on clothing and shoes but if you’re not rich then it’s one of the worst moves you can make…
