Anyone have experience with luxury brands?

A general piece of advice...

If you plan on spending the ridiculous amounts that these brands charge, best to stick with the the product(s) that made them famous in the first place.  Ex. Rather than spending $$$ on a Gucci watch or Fendi sunglasses, go with actual top end watch and sunglass makers. Gucci is just slapping their name on someone else's (Guccied-up) product and jacking up the price.

You DO REALIZE how entirely ridiculous

PS: Told you already, Buy what YOU like....

(and name droppers are considered "social parasites")

Any other way you will always wind up looking stupid,

....and probably not feel comfortable in that skin.

Waves today were solid 8 feet, monster hole was going off. 

Wave in the photo is around 8 to 10 feet and no one out. Sharks had it all to themselves...

wouldn't mind checking that place out

The Jersey Shore (and it's Shore, not whatever else you want to call it LOL)

has dozens of these Boardwalk towns.

Some of the nicer ones...

don't have that Luxury name tho 🤣

 

PS: All have a slightly different flavor, It really all depends how you want to spend your time...

 

BTW: I'd put as much money on the Beach here, as I would at Malibu...which is not too much LOL...

but it STILL CAN be done right...Just gotta remember, these are only sand castles you are building. 🏰

My home surf break got taken out by Sandy...

You might note, that the majority of that film, and most of the damage...

...is not even filmed in the "Heights", brand name.

That's for Tourist brand, not for Luxury brand....

🤷‍♂️

Some interesting insight here...

May not have a luxury name, but could you get away with wearing luxury brand stuff at this place is the better question?

You should have just sent me a pm. 

Casual clothes, Paul Smith, it's 2021.

On the suit, way important, get a good one. It's gonna cost you but it's silly to buy carp because carp looks like crap. Then, make sure it is fitted and fitted properly. 

By now you need a subscription to GQ. It's way cheap and you get a free cap with the subscription. 

On the cologne, be bold. Consider Jimmy Choo Intense. 

That all said, coupled with my prior advise, there is no substitute for confidance. Not even a pile of cash.

Agreed, especially on the confidence part. You can have an Amex Centurion in your wallet and if you can look people in the eye and talk and you're unsure of yourself, then it doesn't matter. 

What about a Bill Gates sweater vest look?

Never been really into cologne, I like the lighter, easier smells usually. Maybe fruitier is the word I'm looking for?

At well over 2X you probably can't even...

...get your arms over your head, that is.... LOL.

'Rockfish' probably have a hard time,

just trying to swim like that too. 🤷‍♂️
