Wondering how to dress like Billions’ billionaires by watching Showtime\u2019s TV Series, Billions? New York\u2019s hedge fund industry is certainly comprised of many billionaires, yet Bobby Axelrod\u2019s style isn\u2019t necessarily the norm in the hedge fund industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re wondering how to dress like Billions’ billionaires and you Google it, the answer you\u2019ll find is that they dress like \u2018normal men.\u2019 However the next thing you need to take a look at is which men and which industries are Google listing as billionaires.
If you\u2019re looking at billionaires such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezoz, they are all in the tech industry which is why they dress relatively casually. Tech guys are notoriously known for dressing casually.<\/a> Why? Because they can and they just don\u2019t place a high value on getting dressed up or looking wealthy through the clothing they wear. Instead they invest their money in multiple real estate properties, jets, and cars. That\u2019s the symbol of their wealth. However keep in mind that Jeff Bezoz has Wall Street roots so you\u2019ll see him in a wide range of business attire.
But if you\u2019re looking at the billionaires in the hedge fund industry, although the character, Bobby Axelrod, on Billions is portrayed to dress casually and his character is loosely based on hedge fund manager Steven Cohen, dressing casually is not the norm for hedge fund managers. Business attire can range from a suit and tie, or blazer and tie, to a blazer and shirt, or a shirt layered with a zip up sweater. But rarely will you see a billionaire in T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers as his day-to-day hedge fund manager attire. Business attire in New York has gotten more casual in recent years but not that casual!
Although the costume designer of Billions was also the designer in Sex and The City and Gossip Girl, he chose to portray the character of Bobby Axelrod as a guy who doesn\u2019t care or need to show his wealth by wearing traditional business attire. Instead Bobby Axelrod portrays an image that \u2018I\u2019m worth so much money and everybody knows it, that I can wear whatever I want whenever I want.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
