Branded VS non branded clothing.

I prefer paying more for quality.

If i'm allowed to say I like Fed Perry, Henri Lloyd etc does this count?

I'd rather plump for quality stuff like this any day and like Ben Sherman, but it depends on what actual article of clothing!

i'd rather pay more but it depends... i really only wear j.crew and ralph lauren now

I don't think it's insecure. Sure, peer pressure will obviously have a role to play but some people build their reputation/popularity on their image and are therefore more likely to spend most time on improving that while other people build their reputation on other things such as academic work (like me, I'm a nerd lol) and therefore spend more time on that rather than worrying about designer labels.

how can you have 'non-brand' items? everything has a brand.. unless you mean a recognizable brand?

also how do you define 'designer'

Lol and I felt bad spending £20 on a shirt the other day. £50?? Wtf.

Most of the stuff I buy is just unbranded. Got a few branded things, but no one seems to care whether it's branded or not, it's just a shirt. But generally branded stuff obviously looks nicer so I'll buy some of that from time to time.

I live for branded clothes.

Stuff with huge logos is tacky, like Jack Wills. lmaoo I mean sorry but it's hardly a bespoke Saville suit or the latest pair of Louboutins now is it? It's a pair of pyjamas where 90% of the price is down to having the brand name in enormous lettering on the front.

Same when I bought my Chilles' Trakkies m8!

non branded, designer. i would die if i was wearing a nice looking shirt and i go to take it off and the girl sees it's from walmart. i think that would do me in.
