Why The 'Looking Poor Trend' Is A Stupid Idea

In this video, I challenge the notion that dressing well increases your chances of being robbed, and instead explore the benefits of dressing sharp, including improved performance and increased opportunities. I also address the trend of "dressing poor" on YouTube, explaining why it may not be the best approach for personal and professional success.

Totally agree. It reminds me of something an old boss told me many years ago. How you dress is how you are perceived, and how you are perceived is how you are treated.

When i see a young athletic guy wearing a formal suit i think he's some kind of bodyguard. Definetley not an easy target to pick pocket.

My grandpa showed me a pair of pants he used while vacationing in Paris years earlier. It was infamous for pickpockets. My grandma removed the pocket and put in a custom pocket that went down to his knees. I thought it was a genius idea.

I agree. There are so many YouTubers that are copying each other making videos about this nonsense. You should always dress well. "Looking rich" is not the same as making irresponsible financial decisions.

I was robbed at the Spanish steps subway in Rome a number of years ago. My camera was stolen from my buckled/ zipped camera bag and my watch thankfully they couldn’t take as it had a deployment clasp that they couldn’t get over my hand!
I say they! It was a whole family who targeted me. An old man who helped us at the ticket machine with his granddaughter ( added about 7) with the distraction she must have unbuckled my bag and zip. The change he gave me bought the ticket for my robbers to enter the subway! In the mad rush to get on a packed train a brother grabbed by camera, who passed it onto another relative on the platform as the doors was closing. When I went to the police who were outside the station they said, “ was it an old man and little girl and two brothers?” I said yes go and arrest them, he replied that every time we take them in they have nothing on them. They are a Romanian gypsy family who work as a gang to work tourists over!
In the restaurant that evening I told that story to the owner who was so annoyed he gave us our meal for free.

It’s not so much as looking poor but blending in. Look like the crowd and be situational aware. Dressing nice gets you noticed, lacking awareness of surroundings makes you an easy target.

We went from Old Money to Looking Poor trends are odd

I guess some people cannot differentiate between "poor" and "modest" or "simple".

I live in Southern Spain and it is a class less society and most of Spain is. Yes the Spanish dress up but no one batters an eye lid if you dress for dinner, a night out or not. This is what I enjoy about Spain everyone is not judged by your car, watch or what you wear, at least not where we are. So long as your a nice person, work hard, and good to your family and friends.

One time I met an investment coach who dressed poorly. I never took his advice seriously until someone else told me his strategy. If that investment coach dressed the part, I would have listened to him earlier.

Useful information as always. You are talking absolute truth. Thanks.

Lots of upscale restaurants in Europe have a dress code. Usually means no flip flops, no tank tops, no beach shorts….including some beach bars or beach restaurants.

Great message! I didn’t realize the studies behind the clothes we wear and the sub-conscious effects, but I do feel more confident when I put on a blazer or jacket. Can’t wait for the next video!

Always found the " Dress Poor " concept counter-intuitive. Presentation will always be key to getting ahead in life. GOOD Content Antonio!

[chrism]

The looking poor trend is stupid and so is the designer fashion that makes people go broke fast, A good suit can go a long way

[Terry-iz]

Thank you for this video sir. I’m so tired of some people believing that if you “look nice” or “dress nice” that you’re poor trying to “look rich” and they’ll always use certain millionaires or billionaires that “look like bums”. First of all, just because someone or some people attain millions of dollars doesn’t necessarily mean they are automatically gonna start dressing a certain way if they weren’t in the beginning. Some people whether rich or poor don’t care what they look like and some people, like me, 😊 whether rich or poor care about not only my character but also my presentation. Thanks Antonio

One of my fav videos in a while. You rock, keep it up!

[ieltsflyingcolours]

While I can see that looking poor trend is important, I also think that it's not to help keep people from all harms. Now matter how poor or simple you look, if you put yourself in vulnerability, you'll be harmed.

Pre-Covid I used to dress suits and a tie, and the difference on the treatment you get on any kind of shop / business is huge. Kinda miss it. If someone thinks differently, you should try it!
