Honestly what choice do I have. I'm not particularly attractive. So I buy nice clothes to look the part. And take flak for it from family lol. They're not even that expensive. I'm talking 300 eur jackets. It doesn't matter much but I believe it does help. If it matters even once that I don't dress like a hobo it's a big win for me. But you know what baffles me out of prada bags, Rolex and Armani? Armani suits. To an outside observer they look like every other suit.

That depends on the observer, no? I certainly couldn’t tell a Prada handbag from any other sort of handbags but I’m not the target audience, women buy expensive handbags and shoes to impress other women, in particular other women who are also into handbags and shoes. Similarly men who wear Armani suits are signalling to other suit-wearers, Rolex watches are a signal to watch fans, and so on.
