It's worth nothing Jantelagen is not a popular ideal--it was, after all, originally satire--stating that someone can never be better, smarter, more skilled, etc., than how they were born, and is frequently criticized. You see a similar mindset in some poor communities in the American south ("geting above your raising") which leads to certain groups ostracizing successful individuals and discouraging any kind of hard work or social mobility. This is the complete opposite of, say, many Asian immigrant communities, where it's encouraged for children to become more educated and wealthier than their parents.

It’s not just about the generational aspect. You are overlooking the fact that these aren’t some run of the mill nouveau-rich types, they are one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world (in the show they are based on the Murdoch family.) Because they are so well known and in the public eye, it would be considered gauche and quite absurd to appear ostentatiously dressed, as it would imply a serious lack of concern regarding upholding the family’s image of status and professionalism.

[@am143-g1m]

Truly wealthy people don’t even wear these “quiet luxury” brands as Succession suggests. There is no “formula” or “rule” and rich people don’t buy things always because they are expensive. They buy it because they like it or need it. Truly rich people also buy "normal" brands like Lacoste, Levi's, Rayban, Pantagonia, Ralph Lauren, etc etc... and they also buy very well-known luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci etc etc... This is all marketing and people still believe it that truly rich people will spend $600 for a cap... If the truly rich need a cap, they buy a good cap from any common sports brand! Truly rich people are not stupid! And even though there are some very rich people buying $600 caps, they are not the majority. As I said, there is no rule or uniform that all rich people use to be understood as rich. People spend their money in different ways and it’s not always on fashion. Truly rich people actually go bespoke or to a tailor when they need more formal clothes and they dress casual with all type of brands with all types of prices (high and low). They don´t think this way like the "quiet luxury" trend wants us to believe!

I challenge the assertion that "You need a lot of money to dress in the quiet luxury style" Actually you do not-you need to know how to identify luxury fabrics and quality construction along with the basic styles (such as blazer, pants, skirt, shirt, etc) to make up your wardrobe. Then I go to resale, thrift or charity stores and buy -for instance-cashmere sweaters for pennies on the dollar. I recently bought a stunning quality cashmere sweater set for *gasp* $25 (and benefitted the charity shop too). Take your finds to a tailor if needed and have them fitted if that's needed.

[@TourajSermeno]

*amzclothes* just wanna tell you that you make my day with your videos. you have srsly helped me through not so happy times!!! thank you.

[@anthony-sabastiantran9928]

great video! Can I please suggest you to check the pronounciation of Ralph Lauren? Lauren is pronounced just like you would say the name rather than Lorenne.

[@baderinwa1]

I own three Ralph Lauren purple label pieces that I purchased from upscale retail shops, years ago.

CONGRATULATIONS

[@ahmedhallajian8886]

would love to see a video where you show budget alternatives of these / give ideas about how to do quiet luxury without denting the bank account so much!

[@JamesLeung]

Very good idea!

[@WalterDEgger]

bro… just thrift

The LP Cap is a Rolex cap. I don't know how they got one without the logo tho.

[@adrianguadalupemunozjaureg5425]

I love the pink flower lamp on the background, is it the kind that lights up when you touch it?

[@JamesLeung]

It has a pull string to turn it on, and you can light up the flowers in different combinations!

[@shadowfilm7980]

Showing no logos is the best thing. It’s opposite what the Chinese want. They are always wanting to show the logos so they can show off to their friends and family that they have some money. I lived in Asia and saw this constantly. I even saw one guy still wearing a stitched on temp logo of a suit on the outside of his jacket sleeve. I told him that it should be cut off he immediately said “NO”. That he wanted his friends and relatives to see that. To give everyone the impression that he had some money. Even though it looked odd to leave it on the jacket sleeve. That’s why I think most people buy these expensive pieces so they can then show off that designer label. It’s ALL about the label. The name. Crazy.

Great video! Well produced

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks so much!

[@GG-uv9ok]

You're such a nice guy, James.

[@JamesLeung]

Haha thank you very much!

[@J-tu3hw]

James… if may say… it’s clear to me 99.99% of people have never had their own tailor.. or a family tailor.. and to me this is the origin of the rules and style you theorized .. agonizing boring days of childhood.. and it’s good quality

[@stormzybanksy]

the funny thing about kendall (jeremy strong) is that he doesn't have a nice bod, so even loro piana clothes look meh on him.

[@paulinak.1736]

See, he doesn't need that. He is phisically fit, just not muscled. He is going to be in the spotlight regardless

[@miacaliper6244]

What about belts?
