Do you exclusively wear branded clothes ?

Hi all, Of course everyone likes to wear branded clothes. And it is the most popular way to waste money. Because most of people want to look cool wearing branded apparel. That's why they spend lot of money for that. I think wearing something for pure sake of brand is crazy, the only deal is how good it suits you. Are you also an "I always wear branded clothes" kinda person? Well, I more or less wear what I like and what I'm comfortable with, regardless of brands, certainly some brands do have some nice clothes, but u also see a lot unknown nice things.

I ONLY wear branded clothes. I usually stick with Billabong shirts, and occasionally a Hurley shirt. I find that theirs certain brands that I usually feel fit me the best. I buy around 120$ jeans, because those "generic" brand jeans just don't feel right. I like fading and tiny tiny tears (opposite of those Abercrombie sweatshop jeans) with a slimfit. So what i'm basically trying to say is, I wear what I feel is confortable, but I usually find the more expensive clothing feel better on me. Maybe i'm just a high-maintenance guy.

My dear friend, I want to tell you one thing is that all the brands were simple and local iteams at the time of begining. But after peoples using,it could be a brand. So we can also search some beginning brands, that would be cheap and best for us. Why should I follow others, let the others followed by us. So keep it mind and explore new brands which could not get name and fame still.

Nope. Exclusively branded clothes are out for me. But good quality clothes that will last me along time is in for me. If the design of the shirt or pants or skirt is what I like with good quality and it's branded and most of all within my budget, I would probably buy. I mean why not. If I invest on a pair of good quality jeans which is going to last me the next 5 to 6 years why not. But since we have sales most of the month here in the malls, it's easy to find good bargain clothes in good quality. But I can;t remember when was the last time I went shopping for clothes as I think the amount of shirts and pants and skirts that I have n my cupboard is enough to last me for the next 10 years. And nowadays there is not a need to worry of going out of fashion as fashion just goes and comes back after a few years.

I'm actually the opposite; I very rarely wear brand name clothing. I'm a student in college, so even though once in a while I'll see something expensive I'd like to buy, I try not to, since my budget is very, very tight. Mostly I wind up buying stuff from thrift stores and deep discount markets when I can. Once in a while, I get lucky; I remember once I got this really, really nice pair of designer jeans that could have run me $50 dollars in the store... and instead, I got 'em for $14. That was fun.

I wear clothes that fit and look good on me. I am not afraid to shop the thrift stores and wear walmart brands. That does not mean that I do not like name brand clothes, it just simply means that I'm always on the look out for a great deal and hopefully save a little money to throw at my debt in the process.

Oh my! I have to confess I am a person who likes and wears branded clothes. But they are of better quality so I can wear them longer which saves me money in the long run. I tend to favor Liz Claiborn sports and dress clothes. Not only are they made of good quality fabrics they fit better and hold their shape longer and they are very comfortable. I do sometimes buy off brands but after one wash they have lost their shape or tend to fade. Bought a shirt at Target, wore it one time and after it was washed I couldn't wear it again it looked so bad. It was completely out of shape. That to me was money wasted. The only brand I refuse to wear is Tommy Hilfiger. He run one "sweat shop" after another and I don't like people who use the poor for their gain.

Yes, branded clothes can save money in long run as they are more durable than non-branded one i think. Anyway, thanks for your opinion. Have a good day and happy mylotting.

Ah no, I'm not a brand type of a person. I won't say NO if you'd give me branded stuff, but I don't wear them exclusively. I'm a firm believer that it's not really the clothes that makes the person beautiful, it's the person wearing the clothes. If he/she knows how to carry himself/herself with the outfit, then even if she wore rags, she'd look great. I could remember a friend of mine who was really into branded stuff. She'd not wear anything without the brands peeking out. At one point in time, we gone out somewhere, I wasn't wearing any 'branded' stuff, gosh, I wasn't even wearing real gold. But people noticed me, her accessories meant nothing because they didn't really fit her skin type. Well, it was a slap on the face, I know, but at least she learned that you don't need to wear expensive stuff to be noticed.

Last time I worried about the brand was high school and then I grew up. Once you're an adult no one is laughing because the clothing label you wore is "sooo last year" unless they are extremely immature.

i grew up with alot of siblings so all my clothes where hand me downs, most of the time we where pleased if we got to go somewhere and actually pick clothes off a rack.when we did it was at a walmart or bargain center,goodwill type of store. kmart and the half price store we visited once in awhile. never did we get brand name clothes unless we earned the money ourselves which bieng young was hard to do cause child labor laws. i still to this day perfer walmart over the stores in the mall and big name brand stores it is a value i have chosen to teach my childern.As a child and young adult hood that has taught me to stretch the all mighty buck and get your monies worth.

I agree! The brand doesn't really count its how you wear it. What's the use of branded expensive clothes if you look like a dork wearing it. Do you think people would have to peep into your clothes just to see what brand it is? I don't think so. For me as long as it fits me and i feel comfortable then then I'm fine with it even if its from the most unknown brand.

I think wear must be like this whic suits you and by which you can show your gentality. Because I think no one going go see your brand name. Lots of good designes and styles are available in the market without having any brand name. We can find some good stylish suitable wears easily. And can feel comfortable by wearning and by pocket also. You can say cheap and best.

I wear whatever is comfortable and durable. I do like some Ann Taylor clothing every now and then. I usually shop at Target, The Gap or Old Navy for my clothing though. They are usually more in my price range. Sometimes I find good deals at Ross too.

Yes of course! But only few of them i bought in a the regular price. For me to buy a branded clothes needs to be planned first, make window shopping and visit some botiques and find out what are the available items that have discounted prize and sholud be fit to my taste and budget.

No, not unless they are on a great sale. I like to buy quality clothes that will last awhile, but it definitely doesn't have to be a popular brand name. I remember in high school I needed to have all of the branded clothes, with it displayed proudly across the front of a shirt or on the pocket of my jeans. I'm glad I have moved passed that and now just look for a good deal on quality, fashionable clothes.
