Why Am I so Proud when I'm wearing my simple shirt from Lacoste?

I actually don't really like Lacoste, but a lot of people look up to it as a brand because of how expensive it is when you buy it from the high-end deparment stores for a pretty penny or two. It's a status symbol, sort of.

I personally like BCBG and Lauren (Ralph Lauren) better - THOSE make me feel good about myself when I'm wearing 'em.

It's not the logo but the cost it represents. Some people think that an original Lacoste would look exactly the same as an imitation, however, I would beg to differ. My father loves Lacoste and he always wears the original ones - he tried one fake Lacoste shirt and we witnessed how its quality deteriorates after few washes where as the original shirts still look good and new even though he has been using them for years.

Thanks for the response on my discussion!
