Do you prefer branded clothes?

Do you usually buy branded clothes even though that is too pricey when the design was only simple? Why do you prefer branded clothes rather than the simple clothes or something that is really affordable? Are you conscious if your clothes are not branded? Why or why not?

Most of my clothes are branded, but most of them are a few years old now. I cannot afford clothes right now, branded or otherwise. But throughout the 2000s, I tended to only buy designer clothes, and especially designer sportswear, which is what I wear a lot. I bought a lot of clothes; so i'm well set up. But I'm stuck with what I bought.

I've a mixture of branded and non-branded. There is just something about the labels...they attract people: the glamour of the labels. But a mixture of both is best.

So what is your reason that you are buying branded clothes? Or why don't you trust the other clothes especially if those are not branded?

Hi, Actually branded or not for me is fine as long as I'm comfortable wearing it. And you can find a lot of branded yet affordable clothes in the places called "UKAY-UKAY", where they sell good brands so cheap. This time we need to be practical, right?

I can't trust that "UKAY-UKAY" because it is second hand branded clothes right? Or let us say that they were used already by another person unless if that is only reject clothes then I would have it. I forgot the another term for the "reject clothes" since my neighbor used to sell it here. I would tolerate the "Tiangge" even if that is only imitations or fake branded clothes as long as it is clean and new.

I prefer buying branded clothes since they are better made and better designed. I always go for quality first. I also don't think that all branded clothes are expensive. I sometimes buy branded clothes which are on sale and don't mind the thought that I am buying them at a cheaper price.

That is actually true that not all branded clothes are expensive you can also buy the local one. It just so happens as well that there are local branded clothes that can't be fitted to me accurately and I am not that comfortable with it.

I don't usually buy branded clothes because it's too expensive for me, and I don't mind whether my clothes are branded or not.I have to admit that branded clothes may have better qualities,and they make me feel good about myself.However, as an ordinary person, I can't afford to buy such pricy clothes,which might be twice or even more as expensive as unbranded ones.So,I'd rather buy more affordable clothes, which are as beautiful and comfortable as well.

In my case there are times that I prefer branded clothes because sometimes it is fitted to me accurately especially if that is imported compare to the local ones that is too tight. I have to admit in my case that I am a brand conscious before but when I tried my best to be practical that I could buy some clothes that are really affordable it can't be fitted to me and I am not comfortable with it which is far different from the branded clothes.

i buy clothes from time to time at the mall, they have their own local brands but its not too bad. sometimes i would even buy on sale and even from the rummage sale, it is fun but also very practical. sometimes when i see the brands that are popular and expensive on sale, i grab the opportunity as long as it is worth the price.

You are right there that you must wear something that is comfortable with you.

I do. I like higher quality in clothes, they tend to last longer that way and look cuter (at least in my opinion) but I'll go for anything if the price is right - and it's cute and comfty looking. I am not too picky but most of my clothes are name-brand.

Clothes are an important part of a person's life. And it does set how presentable and how he projects him self to the public. I don't really prefer branded clothes but it is actually just a bonus to have branded and hip clothes. It is not a requirement though.

You have a point there it is not requirement to have branded clothes even if you are working in the company or any business ventures branded wouldn't matter as long as it is decent and you were able to follow the kind of attire that they require.

im not brand conscious at all. but i dont also buy clothes that are too cheap. im just being a wise buyer like for example if there is this blouse that is in a branded store which is way expensive that is also in the department store which is cheaper, i will just buy it in the department store. i buy clothes in branded stores but its not my basis on buying but because they really have nice stuffs in there.

Sometimes I have encounter some expensive clothes in department store but then it is not good quality that is the reason why at times I totally prefer the branded ones but of course it really depends. If I knew it already that brand of clothes in department store has bad quality then of course I wouldn't buy that anymore.

I buy branded clothes. But not all of my clothes are branded. I buy branded pants and dress. The quality is good compare to the cheap ones and the imitations. Imitations can copy the design of the branded clothes which sometimes sucks when all of the market have it. Some of the designs of branded clothes cant be copy as it is and some of them are unique which are good thing of buying branded clothes. I buy clothes which are not branded. They are comfortable to wear, plus ITS CHEAP. some of them last long. most of them don't. It can easily have damage on it but what can you ask for right. for me, Its doesn't matter if you wear branded clothes or not. as long as you are comfortable wearing and comfortable of what you have. :)

You are right there as long as you are comfortable and you can carry it that is all matters. There are imitations that I remember I have it before but I can't remember now if where is it or what happen on that clothes. Not all branded clothes has good qualities some or them are easy to damage.

Nope, I don't buy brand-name clothes as the brand isn't important to me at all and I would rather buy clothes that cost less money. I don't worry too much about my clothes, I prefer to wear plain/generic clothes anyways... I don't really care about my clothes standing out or anything like that.

It is good for being a practical and of course that is a good practice. I don't know to myself that how come sometimes I am being brand conscious but good thing I have learned that I have to be more practical. But unfortunately I am really picky when it comes to clothes something that I should know how to carry it. And some cheap prices clothes can't fit to me that way. That is another reason why I want branded at times because it fits me accurately.

My best liked clothes are second hand. There is something about previously owned clothing that I like. They feel comfortable, and are softer than new fabric, and I can buy used clothes for under.50 a lb. I have a number of used shirts that I only wear on special occasions because they feel so good when I wear them. I cannot understand why such great clothes were ever discarded in the first place!

Hello! NO. I usually dressed up simply and I never waste my money to buy branded clothes. However, I do have some clothes, bags and shoes that are branded. I am happy to have few of them so at least I could have much stand out items when situation calls me to wear them. Most of the times, my apparels came from bazzars and mall sales so I could really save a lot. I just pick up nice items so I could still have a quality pick though its not pricey at all. Times are harder nowadays, being practical in anything I guess do me lots of advantage and I simply love it. Have a nice day!

I do buy name brand clothes, but because I like them not because other people are wearing them. I also shop at places like walmart too. I just buy things that I like. Doesn't matter what the price is or if other people are wearing them or not.
