Do you mind wearing clothes that are not branded? email this discussion to a friend?

There are some people who only want to wear clothes with brands -- brand names such as Disney, Barbie, Levis, Crimson, Guess, DKNY, etc. Last Christmas, I sent a gift to my 6-year old god-daughter. This gift was a blouse, not very expensive but not also considered cheap. For me the blouse was pretty enough to pass my test and so I bought it. Few days after sending my gift, I heard from a friend that the mother of the child whom I sent the gift was disappointed with my present. I asked my friend why could that be, the blouse was pretty and I think I got the right size for my god-daughter. My friend said that it might have something to do with the brand, she knows the mother well as someone who wants her child to use branded clothings only, or those with signatures. I was terribly hurt when I learned this. My present was rejected only because it's not of a brand name. I remember that the blouse was pretty, but something that was generic, no brand name marked on it. What about you my fellow mylotters, do you mind wearing clothes without brands or you want to wear branded clothes only?

I wear all kinds of clothes. I don't think I have any branded clothing actually. It's ridiculous how much people pay just to wear brand names. I have a lot of cute and nice clothing from regular stores in the mall or even Target for that matter.

I like Target, too. If I have any branded clothes, that's usually where I get them.

this was horrible of your friend to do that even if you dont like a gift you recieve you pretend to to not hurt peoples feelings, me personally am a shopaholic with a wardrobe full of clothes and i bet there are no more than 5 items in there with a brand on them, i prefer to wear something because i like it even if it is not in fashion and be an individual than be a clone of every other idiot with an adidad or reebok tshirt on.

Hello marylots. Welcome to myLot:)

I rarely wear branded clothes. I do not see any reason to offer free advertising, nor do I equate quality with name brand. In my opinion, many branded garments are over priced. If I do own them it is only because I found them cheaper than a non-branded item.

I have never worn clothes for the name.
If it is good quality that is what I worry about.
I do know people that like that.
My opinion is that a lot of no name brand clothes look a lot better than name brand.
That is too bad that your god mother's mother did that.
My daughter is 12 and she never seems to think anything of a name either.

I buy clothes that are comfortable and that fit. I have a strange body shape so jeans are a real challenge for me. By the time I get them over my hips and*ahem* ghetto booty they are too big in the waist. When I find a brand that fits, I buy as many of them as I can before they change their style and I have to go looking again lol Currently, that brand is Levis but it will probably change again.

Dear friend,
I do not care on branded provided they suit me well and good quality. I do use all kinds of clothes with better quality. But it is really not nice to reject a gift only it is not of a brand name. I never experienced any like that. But most of my clothes that are not branded are well in quality than those branded clothes I have. happy

I do not mind wearing clothes that are not branded. I give more attention to quality and price. Branded does not always equal to quality. Many brands started off as being unknown. They became popular after an advertisement campaign using well known faces. Otherwise they might have gone into oblivion. Maybe the not so well known brand will be sought after in the future if it receives sufficient exposure.

all the best,

I guess her daughter wasn't taught the value of being practical. It really doesn't bother me at all if my clothes are branded or not. I do have lots of clothes which are unbranded. Last New Year's Eve i got an imitation Reebok bullcap from an exchange gift with neighbors. I alredy have a Penshoppe bullcap which i like and because it was given to me by my exgirlfriend so just as not to make an impression that i didn't like the gift i received during the New Year's Eve, i will wear it someday.

For as long as the quality is ok, i think we shouldn't mind if it's branded or not. It's not like people will reach for the brand of our shirt then check if it's Guess or not. It's on the manner on how well you carry that shirt.

I dont' mind wearing clothes without brand. Sometimes clothing with no brand is better. No one will argue with you or wear the same clothes as you.

The same would go for me.. People may want to see a brand logo on their shirt, but isn't it just as good without - Its all clothes, and that'll never change.
