No way
i am not at brand loyal for clothing
brands are too expensive and i know i can get the same stuff at much cheaper rates. and other thing, most of my trouser and shirts are tailored, i buy fabric of my choice and get customised stitching as per my fitting
Take care

I am absolutely not a brand buyer. I usually get my clothes sewed from tailors, which is not very common nowadays. I sometimes buy readymade clothes but only the comfortable ones.

Yeah, the biggest problem with readymade clothes is that they almost never fit you perfectly.

I usually buy whatever is on sale and has a style I like. However, for jeans, I do stick with a couple brands. I have a lot of trouble finding jeans that fit well and once I find a type I like, I order more of them online. Since I can't really try them on first, it's easiest to stick with brands that I know will work.

It depends on what product we go for... If its coolers, then brand mattters. Else for clothes those that gives a perfect fit and feels comfortable will do..

No lynnchua, I don’t buy clothes, handbags, shoes or other products just for pursuing the prestige of branded products. I notice that there are still some non branded products which are good in quality and also with reasonable prices.
I buy branded products only when they are on sale. Sometimes we could get those quality branded products with even 50 to 70 % during annual stocks clearance. Of course the stocks might be limited and sometimes we could hardly get the sizes we need. Or they might be also a bit out of trend. I think it's still worthy to buy as it is durable for I'm not too fashion conscious anyway.
posting and take care.

I'm not much of a brand buyer but yes, whatever I buy should be comfortable as well as of good quality . There are many items which are not branded but have a good quality.Sometimes, though seldom,I go for branded clothes also.

I used to be a brand buyer, when I was just only spunging off my parents. But when I started to become a working student, I learnt the value of money and would only buy items that are within my budget range. As long as its comfy, decent, and tickles my fancy, why not?
Am not saying that am uber stingy, but comparing branded/signatured clothing with generic garments it doesn't make much of a diff. Oh, my bad, it does.. the price. =)

Basically it is our choice and comfort that counts in selecting dresses. But in 'the magic of thinking big' the author says whether it is clothes or shoe, at most 2 or 3 well known brands are better. Some believe that more the number of clothes more prosperous one looks.
I adjust with two pairs of clothes maximum brands or no brands.

LOL Only if the brand I want is in a thrift store! I'm always amazed at the good clothes that look like they've never been worn that you can find at Goodwill and other such places.
Brand isn't important. Like you, I feel that fit, color, style and quality are the criteria you should look for.

Oh heck I don't give a care what the name is...I buy stuff from Goodwill and Salvo, and Walmart too. Who cares what name is on it?

I do not care brand very much.but I care the texture of clothes,so I do not buy very cheap ones,because cheap ones are aways bad in qualitity and easy to change form. However,it is not necessary to spend too much money to buy ones.
