Your thoughts on brand name clothing?

I have never been a brand name person, I prefer to have a lot of clothes to mix and match and I have alway thought buying the brand names and paying big prices is being taken for a fool really especially when you see thing being sold for mega bucks, I just can't see the value.

so not a brand name person. mainly, because, i can't see spending all that damn money on clothes. if there is a gabes/goodwill/thrift store around, i'm there before im anywhere else. now, they do have brand name clothes there, in good shape for a hell of alot cheaper. clothes don't make who you are. it's the way you present yourself in them. i personally would rather spend my money on food, gas in my car, and my family. who needs expensive stuff when you've got a family, really????

My thoughts on Brand Name Clothing? "A ridiculous Scam, and Nothing More!" Furthermore anyone who will spend double or triple for a regular pair of Branded Jeans, has to be simple-minded. They teach their kids to do likewise, and by so doing are compromising the intelligence of the next generation. Only God knows why they do this Stupidity and She isn't telling!

I amalways after comfort. Mostof the time...branded clothes are those that have good quality and give total comfort. My family is into Nike apparels,not because of the swoosh but because of the comfort it gives...dryfit.we are the sporty type and we could not afford to have ripped pants or shirts outdoors. For swimwear,we only go for speedo. Lifetime warranty for the gears...fits right,comfortable. My husband goes for Arrow/Marks&Spencer/lacoste shirts...why?...he needs to look good for his work,at the same time...very comfortable. Especially,the weather adjusting Marks&Spencer...imagine,a shirt that adjust to weather. We do not buy branded clothes though with the brands up front...you are right---a walking billboard! But,but---we seldom buy all these in regular prices...we buy when they are on sale. I got these unbranded shorts for $2 each...I got excited over the price,that I bought 20 pairs of shorts for all of us...they are now all ripped and the fit is very uncomfortable. Honestly though...I go for branded bags...because of quality...although,I only get nine west,liz claiborne,XOXo,Harajuku...thats it.---Getting Furla,or Louie Vuitton-aside from,I cant afford them---it is ridiculous to buy them at $1000 up.

I don't pay attention to labels, I buy clothe that I like and that fit me good. Even better when they cheap. If there was something on sale that was a Brand Name I buy it if I like it not because the name but the prize.

I think it's very silly too. Hollywood stars need it but not the normal people. Personally I would not spend so much money on 1 piece of cloth, rather spending on something useful or derserve.

I tend not to buy much name brand clothing, i prefer my clothers plain. Furthermore, sometimes they arent much different from others, and if you were to check some out they are made in factories by underpaid workers.I will buy something if i like it but wont necessarily go out of my way just to have name brand.

Personally I buy clothing on how it fits. Not the brand name. But when you do buy from a brand name store, clothing does last longer, than say Wal-Mart items. I do buy more exspensive clothing, but its because there are 3 certain brands that fit my figure just right and look the best on me. But you won't see me buy anything that isn't on sale. I'm a bargain shopper.

i dont after brand clothes.i disappointed since i bought a long sleeve for hubby a branded one then i bought also a cheapy one and gues what?the expensive branded one is the one who ruined it fast.in my case i dont after the brand.i after how i looks and how i carry it.only my little girl has a branded clothes not the mommy.

I am more particular with the style and the quality of the clothes rather than the brand. Of course, price is also a major consideration for me. What matters the most is that you look good and presentable without overspending. There is nothing wrong with loving clothes and fashion, but I think expensive branded stuff are just for models & actresses. But I am not againts anyone who can afford and would prefer brand name clothings, its just that I think we can all be fashionable without spending hundreds & hundreds of dollars.

I prefer some brand names because of the better quality. Such as Wal-Mart i would never get clothes there the quality is horrible rips too easily and fades away to fast. American Eagle all the way!

there are really people who are so brand-conscious. maybe because of the brand or maybe because the brand's clothes perfectly fit them. but personally i dont go for one brand only. i bought clothes depending on its wearability or if it really fits me. cheap or branded, i definitely go for comfort. but we cant really help it if sometimes we want to go for style, right?

I do tend to lean towards branded clothes, which is wrong I know. But I don't own that much, and everything I don have has been bought for way less than full price. I have 1 Abercrombie hoodie which I got for 7 euro and a Diesel top which I got for half price a few weeks back. Usually when I want to buy something it's not because of the brand but I do become more inclined to buy it if it is branded. It's sad I know... The price people pay here is ridiculous though (I live in Ireland) Like a Tommy Hilfiger shirt is 100 euro and Uggs are 250 euro (I got mine on ebay for 50) Nearly my whole wardrobe is from H&M and from charity shops, but if I could afford it I think I would buy more designer stuff...

yeah in some people brand name is a big deal, i don't like buying branded stuff most of the time, coz in my opinion your not paying for the item your paying for the brand that's why it cost a lot of money, i think buying stuff wisely is so important so that your money can go a little further.

Hi reichiru I only buy limited number of branded shirts. Because they are costly.Also they don't fit exactly as I want it. So I buy clothing and get it stitched from my tailor. That becomes cheaper.Also it fits into my body properly. Unlike in U.S,we get plenty of choices of textiles and also very cheap stitching charges. So we don't have to depend on only branded dresses. Happy mylotting

I would have to say that first and foremost quality should mean the most when it comes to buying clothing. It does not make any sense to spend $80 on a shirt that is going to tear after one use.On the other hand I have to say that I love Banana Republic. I know that they are not the cheapest clothes but I love the designes and the quality is good too.

I'm not big on that stuff. It is way over-rated. I have a guy friend that is so into it that it is ridiculous. He is dirt poor and yet has to...just has to wear name brand suits etc and walk around looking as if he is something of importance. He asks me out from time to time and while he is a nice guy....his priorities are foolishly messed up. The guy doesn't even hold a job & lives off from disability income. Then there are the women who have to have the expensive handbags....why? and they are so freakin ugly. I dress decent and my clothes are not out-dated. Comfort and how they look on me is important. Price is also important. Doesn't matter how much I love a pair of jeans or a shirt....I will not pay extravagant dollars on any item of clothing. I shop sales and thrift stores. Hand me downs are great too!

I use some brands more than others. Adidas for sports clothing and Nike for running shoes - since these are the ones I like best. When it comes to regular clothes I'll wear mainly clothes from H&M or other stores that have deacent prices. For me it's most important that I like the clothes and that they fit me. I love Odd Molly clothing and would love to have many cloths from them, but there is no chance I'll spend that amount of money on clothing. When it comes to clothes for out door activites in the winter I personaly like Reima and other brands known for being long lasting and functional - even if the price is higher than other brands. The same goes for shoes for the winter, since known brands often have a better quality than cheap brands. I would never buy clothes that I don't like just to have that brand, but I do prefer some brands before others.

I think the style,quality and comfort is more important than brands.The style can be copy.but does the brand mean good quality and more comfortable?Sometimes it is.So I buy the brand when it is on sale and not over my budget.

Years ago I just had to have a pair of Guess jeans. They were so expensive but I wanted them because it was the "in" thing to wear. Then I realized that they weren't that comfortable as no name jeans and the only difference was the outrageous amount of money I shelled out! So that was the last time I spent money on a brand name. Nowadays I only think about the style, quality and comfort like you said... I'm much happier and I have more to show for the money.
