How do wealthy men dress on the weekends?

A thobe. Anything else and I’d assume he’s broke

We have friends who look the part but they've always been preppy so people don't seem shocked when they find out their jobs (and can assume their income). DH made millions from a software he helped develop. Most days he is in jeans that are years old and some form of a tshirt. Half his shirts he got for free from various tech conferences. He doesn't wear a watch and his wedding ring is a pretty plain band. I always find it amusing to see people's faces when they realize they judged him wrong.

Go read the Millionaire Next Door. I'm mid 50s, 8 figures, and except for a few items from Peter Millar and Vuori, and my Hokas, nobody would think I'm wealthy.

Riding clothes after hunting aren’t reliable because that just means they won’t be rich for long.

I don’t think anyone thinks eight figures is “wealthy” any more.

Well I can tell you how one does -- frayed khaki shorts and tshirts so old they have holes in them. When it gets cold, he puts a sweatshirt so old the collar and cuffs are frayed on. There is a drawer full of such tshirts and several of the sweatshirts. The shoes are old Skechers.

Every time I mention my DH's sartorial choices someone assumes he's on the spectrum because of the emphasis on the softness that comes with old clothes. He isn't.

The richest dad at my kid's school is only ever seen in baggy, worn out champion sweatpants that look like they might be 20 years old. Crocs and similarly gross sweatshirts. Clothing items that should not be worn outside one's home. He's rich enough that what others think of him doesn't matter. Family worth nearly $1b.

And a black or other dark neutral fleece jacket. Jacket will either be plain Patagonia, Arcteryx, North Face, or potentially a branded jacket from work (AmLaw 50 firm, consulting or finance firm).

Under the jacket will be a nice t-shirt from Everlane or maybe a lightweight sweater from Everlane, Brooks Brothers, or similar price point. If they are coming from church, they might swap the t-shirt out for a collared shirt, but definitely no tie.

In the summer, they might wear a short sleeve collared shirt from JCrew, Brooks, or a brand like Grayers. May trade out the jeans for khaki shorts, not too short but cut somewhat slim. Will usually still stick with sneakers but an intrepid minority might wear a pair of Birkenstocks. Only if feet are well tended.

Haircut will be fresh (these guys get it trimmed once a month at a minimum, I know men who do it weekly), fresh shave or neat beard trim. Neat nails. No jewelry except wedding ring, no visible tattoos.

This is the uniform in my PE office

I stopped reading at "dark denim".

My husband is worth 15M but dresses like a homeless guy and drives a beater car. There is absolutely no way to know he's wealthy. I've gotten used to it, but I like to dress nicely, so it must be funny when people see the two of us together.

You have a point, but that is only DCUM.

If it's Elon Musk he's probably rich

Ivanka's husband just wears white t shirts everywhere.
