Snob appeal is a phrase that describes the tendency for individuals to prefer (or be attracted to) things that are exclusive, high-end, or perceived as prestigious. However, there are many synonyms for this term that offer more variety and nuance. For example, "status symbol" refers to objects or experiences that signal wealth or social rank, while "prestige factor" and "elite appeal" emphasize the exclusivity and desirability of certain goods or services. "Haute couture" and "luxury goods" also suggest expensive, high-quality items that may have snob appeal. Ultimately, these synonyms highlight different aspects of the allure of exclusivity and social status, but all suggest the appeal of things that are fashionable, exclusive, and coveted by others.
