Are you brand conscious?

When you go shopping, do you choose a more expensive brand even if you can buy the same item for less if you opt for a different brand? Sometimes it's ok to buy expensive stuff if you know that it has really good quality, but nowadays buying something expensive does not really mean it has quality. Do you go for super famous brands or are you easily turned off by unknown brands?

It all depends on the amount of the money I have but rather than choosing between famous brands and those unknown ones I buy clothes accrodeing to my taste. If the piece of clothing appeals to me and it's not from a famous brand I buy it because unknown brands are nothing bad. Brand is a brand - it's just a label (and maybe a better material for famous brands but not neccessarily) it won't guarantee you that you will like the clothes. What I like about unknown brands is that they're not popular therefore there is an off-chance that I will meet somebody on the street that wears the same clothes as me (which is quite embarassing for me).

for me,I spend money on the classic items that never go out of style.they are worth spending for since you can use them for a long time.items like a nice white button top,a black shirt,or a sturdy bag.lucky for me I can get branded/designer items for less.

When I am going to buy clothes, the truth that I am not of looking for the brand, but I look for quality and good price, but sometimes the cheap thing goes out expensive, end up by at the time buying something intermediate and of good quality.

Yes, only when it comes to my underwear. I am not kidding. I am a fashonable person, for the past 6 years I have been wearing clothes that has been selected by my wife, and i should say she has a great choice. She is a shopoholic and she buys something that she likes when she is out in the market. So i dont prefer expensive brands, but fashionable yes.

The brand really doesn't matter to me. what's important to me is the quality. Also sometimes I also don't consider the price. If it really has a high quality then its okay for me. I think I will save more in the long run.
