myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping3 weeks ago

Purchases of brand names clothing accessories is highly different in terms of preference between young and old. The former prioritize buying brand name clothing based on the suggestion of their peers, and from influences of well known brand advertisement in all forms be it in television, billboards, magazines, internet, shopping display showcases or simply from the word of mouth.
The young, ranging from children have little tendency to be choosy in terms of buying brand versus generic types of clothing and opt for fun clothing not likely known the differences between brand or generic types of clothing. While, most teenagers know exactly and specifically identify their preferences of brand names of clothing apparels. In the cases of most old people have the ability to purchase and already tested those brand names of clothing and have more purchasing power. Thus, more wiser in terms of their brand name preferences. Their searches ranging from comparison of prices, reliability and comfort.

How about you, Who do you think have the stronger tendency to purchase brand names of clothing, Is it the Young or the Old? Who is more brand conscious? thankshappy

When I was a lot younger, I tend to be trendy and buy signature items or whatever is popular notwithstanding the price so as not to be out of place among my peers. But times have changed and so with my attitude to fashion, now I think more of functionality and not so much with the brand name. I am happy with any brand of denims as long as it fits me and the material is okay. They usually cost much less than the branded one. The same way with shoes, I don't really care about the brand anymore as long as it is durable enough, that's perfectly ok with me.

The younger generation are most likely to follow what is the trend in fashion. That said, some who belong to the older generation do to and mostly are those who can afford.

enjoy!


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi manong,
I am somehow similar to you as being young have a tendency to imitate the latest fashion trends and have to brag it with friends in order not to be left behind. As one grow mature and in you case you are already married, your priorities changes as well unlike when you are still single. Your focus is more in terms of self development and pleasing yourself by buying the branded item to pleasure yourself. But, now it changes as you venture in another situation for being a family man. Most of your time are devoted to family and providing their needs,instead of buying something which is not a basic needs. thanks

2. myLot reputation of 99/100. tingtong (1008)   3 weeks ago

I feel elders are more brand conscious. My husband always stick on to the branded items he tested and used. But my children don't. They go for the trendy, new ones, and ofcourse what the billboards and magazines advertise attract them most. My clothes are the 5 metre long sarees Indian women wear. I too go for the traditional cottons and silks. I'm sure the older generation is more brand conscious than the young ones.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi tingtong,
Among those elderly who are brand conscious I believe are mostly women as they are also the one who buy clothing for their husband and children most of the times. Thus, elderly buy branded clothing names rather than the generic clothing as they already familiar with the durability, and quality of the item. thanks

Hi Neeli,

As we have knew that the main difference between the branded dress
and non branded dress, apart from that most of the television channel
should give the best advertisement for their clothes and also most of the
kids would like to have the similar clothes and then they are informed
to their parents to buy for them. According to my own experiences the
branded dress would has more quality than the non branded one, and also
most of the peoples always looks for the branded clothes. So whenever
I am going for the shopping I would like to prefer to have the branded
dress fro the kids as well as for me.

Have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi binthu,
That really makes quite the differences between the branded and the non branded item are more durable and for comfort one need to buy it even though it is more expensive than the generic clothing as it really equate the price you pay for quality and satisfaction guarantee. thanks

I think it is definitely the young who insist on buying name brands or people w/alot of money. I am not either & could care less about the name brand things.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi antiquelady,
I do agree as many teenagers and young children are into the latest hottest craze fashion trends in town and thus many imitate usually the latest gear/clothing apparels from the massive media advertising campaign. thanks

The young for sure! but then too the parent need to guide them to a more reasonable price clothes that look just like the brand name .
I cant see a kid wearing $100 pair of jeans


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi lakota,
yup, i do agree and the young is more fashionable most of the times like to be updated in order not to get left behind by their friends who also fashion trend setters. Whew, that is very costly too buy expensive clothing and it would not hurt if one buy to those second hand shop or surplus store as long as the fabric is good and one feel comfort upon wearing it. have a great day!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Lakota12 (16775)   ranked 608 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

2nd hand stores is a very good place to get them but make sure ya wash them before wearing.
cause most of the times they stink and I dont know why for they are surpose to wash them before they put then out on the racks.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yeah, need to wash first to kill those microbes or at least soak in warm water...
maybe they smell because it is stored for a longer times thus not yet ventilated in an open air...

there are wide difference of choices to young and the older.one reason is more younger people wants the latest fashion and trends in the market.they have been influenhce by the advertisement that have shown in the television.they become more impulsive buyers.on the other hand older people are wearing shirt that are soft and can give them warm feeling like jackets.the styles is also pattern to old one like in 70s's that is appropriate to their age. thumbup


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi amyson,
Most teenagers like to look trendy and smart with their choices of dress that they opt to buy branded names rather than the generic non-branded apparels/accessories. It is also true to becoming updated most young prefer to buy the latest fashion or hottest stuffs to make their peers jealous of their new looks and be always look fresh and popular.thanks

7. myLot reputation of 88/100. sunny68 (704)   3 weeks ago

i think that would very much depend upon the budget or the purchasing capacity. here branded clothes are not very popular as they have a huge markup with apparently nothing better to offer. moreover traditional clothes are still popular here (especially with ladies) and there are rarely any brands for this category. another aspect is the pace of changing fashion. so even if people have more money they would go in for two or three different cheaper clothes rather than an expensive one.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi sunny,
Yeah, comfort should be the foremost priority one need to think of and it would not bother if the clothes is branded or the generic types as long as it best fit in one personality. it is better to stay simple, comfort and yet still remain stylish. thanks.


myLot reputation of 88/100. sunny68 (704)  3 weeks ago

surprisingly generic clothes have more variety to offer. even some tailors here have started selling their own ready-made garments.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yeah, and they are more cheaper with a wide variety of choices..
tailor made rarely have little identical pair unlike those ready to wear clothing most have identical design...


myLot reputation of 88/100. sunny68 (704)  3 weeks ago

tailors have mostly opened small boutiques and those who are good at their work get a better price for their clothes.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yup, and many customer would become a loyal and returning customer having to buy and try for themselves tailor made clothing have rarely have identical pairs as they are not being made in bulk unlike those RTW's they have many pairs..

8. Joseph_Ryuki (73)   3 weeks ago

For me, I think that the senior people have a different preference when it comes to clothes because of their age in life, whereas the young generation today prefers modern and cool clothes so that's where brand names occur as preferences for today's generation of people, and it is true that it is advertised almost everywhere where there are artists advertising it to promote and sell their line product.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi joseph-ryuki,
Yeah, very true and I think most old people choose to buy clothes which they already known for a long time and go for comfort and less style. And, most young people are fond of buying the latest trends in town as it is more favorable to them becomes famous to display to their peers as a form of being popular being always o the buzz for the latest get ups and trends in town.thanks

9. myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7229)   ranked 884 out of 7,353 in shopping   3 weeks ago

Definitely the young.. lol=D They only go for the latest trend, and the more expensive it is, they will think it's the more fashionable of all.. haha=D As more branded stuffs are expensive, and as such, they tend to associate prices to branding.. haha=D

BUt it's wrong!! Actual branded stuffs, are meant to last and have the right good quality, to match it's price tag.. So, it's only thru trial and error, then one will know, which are the real branded ones^_^


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

yeah, and that could be traced with the main culprit brought by the mass media advertising campaign to lure the general public to buy their products and since most of the endorser are young and famous,those products mainly appeal to those with higher percentage of population composing mostly from the young categories. Thus, it is concluded that the young is more adept in being a fashion trend setter rather than merely watching the changes in her surrounding and more incline to become an impulsive buyer. While the old is merely contented in buying clothes that is for comfort and durability with less inclination in terms of choosing to buy fashionable branded clothing.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7229)   ranked 884 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

YEah^_^ Whatever is expensive does not mean they are branded stuffs.. lol=D Real branded stuffs can be those, one has not even heard about it, as it's really too expensive for just anybody to own it.. haha=D


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Their are also who imitate branded names and they are the fake one that is flooding in the markets that if one do no know to scrutinize they may wrongly believe it is genuine when in fact it is simply a replica of the original. So many consumer end up wasting the value of their money and deception is everywhere that happen not only in terms of the markets but most of the time deal with the mind.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7229)   ranked 884 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yup.. Expensive does not mean that it's the real stuff as well.. haha=D It's way too dangerous unless one buy from the shop itself.. If not, imitations will always be around.. haha=D


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

that right and to be a wise buyer need to identify a good shop which only sell authenticated fashionable item duly authorized by the company to sell thir genuine products..
mostly are generic products and for budget conscious saving consumer it would not be a bad ideas to buy on it as long as the item easily changes it trend then it is quickly replace as well.. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7229)   ranked 884 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

UNless what they are buying are clothes, if not, trend wont really be changing that much in terms of other stuffs.. hehe^_^ BUt it's definitely not worth it to be following the trend and buying expensive clothes.. BEcause each trend only last for months before becoming outdated.. lol=D


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yeah, mostly are seasonal and the fashion changes quickly..
and to be safer it is more safer to stick to the basic...
the very classical item is wearable even the fashion trends changes... happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7229)   ranked 884 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

Yup, thus i always go for comfort, even though i'm not that old.. lol=D It's such a waste of money to be following trend.. And also, i dun have thta money to waste either.. hehe thumbdown

younger people tend to be swayed by advertisements,whether in print or billboard.older shoppers are more for comfort,cost,and value.they prefer items that is worth their money and can last a long time.for me,I am more of a value shopper.even if I buy cheap vintage,they have to be worth my money and aren't damaged.for shoes and lingerie,I go for comfort and value.if I see a pair of shoes or a cute lingerie that is cheap but I am not really comfortable in,then I won't buy it.for the beauty product,it is quite different for me.I god for the advertisement.if I see positive results on the model,then I'll try it for myself.


myLot reputation of 86/100. neelianoscet (1838)   ranked 506 out of 7,353 in shopping  3 weeks ago

hi coco,
yeah, your right as many young are easily brainwash by those mass media advertisement making them as impulsive buyer purchasing anything that is latest and fashionable. All those things you mention are all important factors to considers making anyone a wise buyer. While you given more importance in terms of beauty products everyone should be careful as usually the products is mostly apply by you personally hence needed to be assure that it is of good quality compare to cheaper products which becomes a pain in the neck because of its worst quality.
