Crazy rich outfit: This trendy fall ensemble costs more than your rent

How you dress says something about the kind of person you are. It’s a way you express yourself, without even realizing.

You could be the type of person who only wears brand labels, or someone who happily spends hours going through the aisles of a thrift store to find hidden treasures. Either way, you’re all about the “look good, feel good” mantra, and we support that.

At the same time, sometimes it can be really fun to splurge. And when we say “splurge,” we mean “spend more money than several months of rent on a single outfit.” And we did the math: According to a 2018 report by Padmapper, the average Vancouver rent for a one-bedroom is $2,000 and it’s $3,200 for a two-bedroom.

But $3,200 is small change when you’re crazy rich and shopping without limits. That’s why we’ve put together this simple outfit ahead of the release of Crazy Rich Asians on August 15, and you would never guess how much it costs.

(Spoiler: A lot.)

Snap leggings: Alexander Wang, $846 CAD ($650 USD)
Leather jacket: Acne Studios, $2,200
