400k combined is low TC if you are in a HCOL area, gucci and prada are tacky af. If you want to invest in luxury goods get Rolex/IWC/Vacheron/Cartier watches and work yourself up to Audemar Piguet and Patek Phillipe. Not only do get to use the item, it most likely gains value over time
They are ugly as fuck
Most of them are. Some are cool
I once bought a 300 $ Armani t shirt with 300k TC … does that count ?
Yes actually. I’ve been in the market for some nice loafers/drivers lately and I saw some at Gucci for 1k I loved but couldn’t justify it. I loved the style, shade of brown, design was trendy but still classy. Haven’t found anything better at the $600 range so I might just give in. This type of shoe isn’t something I’d wear on same ocasiona as Nike runners though so they’re not really comparable.
You're looking at the wrong brands. I was wearing a pair of handmade Italian drivers from m.gemi and my ceo asked me if they were Prada. $250 bucks, things that are real and unbranded always look great.
Thanks for the recommendations. I agree for essentials you can find better alternatives. I might buy an m.gemi pair as they look nice, but like I said I’m really looking for something with a bit of flair. I haven’t been able to find another brand that does drivers/loafers with flair.
I wear a 50 dollar pair of converse
I’m a flashy lady so yes
I have a 500k tc and I splurged on nike shoes for 100$ and I thought I overspent
I love expensive shoes and purses but I don’t buy anything with a logo on it and I only buy them once or twice a year. I want people to see at me and think “Wow that’s looks gorgeous on her!” Not “Look at the dumb ass new money trying to fit in.”
Yaaas
But what if I’m new money and I wanna celebrate it ?
I buy things that I like and if they're comfortable because my feet are wide and it's really hard to find shoes that feel good. I'll gladly pay 1000 if spare my feet misery for hours each day. Price is generally a secondary consideration. Tc: 102k
I would definitely buy a pair or two of off whites if I made 400k
Um its 2 person 400K not 1...
I wish I had a wife
