Being trendy is not about the brand.. but on how we mix things up to look great... no matter what brand it is as long as we are confident once we wear it... isn't it right.?

No not really...we could actually buy clothes that are not branded and still look good or trendy with it. It depends on how we mix and match our stuff.

I don't usually buy branded clothes and I don't think that it is neccesary to buy branded clothes to be trendy. You can mix clothes in unusual way and get a great result, sometimes you just have to be a little creative and use your imagination. I have many different kinds of clothes. Some of my clothes I have bought in second hand shops and I combine them with new clothes or clothes that I have received from friends. I know that some people only wear the "right" brands, but those things have never been important to me. I wear the clothes that I like and I don't think much about the brands.

I agree 100%! I love clothes and they definitely do do something to your confidence & personality. I never pay a lot of money for clothes, especially not *super trendy* clothes. I like to keep it simple but I do like shoes a lot too. I don't really care about brand. I care more about how it looks, the style, and of course the fit! Happy myLotting!

I think it depends on what kind of community we talk about. Generally, it doesn't matter... I mean, you can't buy style with money, and you could be trendy with cheaper or second.hand clothes, too, if you know what to buy and how to mix them. But if you live in a community of stuck-up and rich people, no matter how great you dress up, you are not going to be considered trendy, because they are going to ask or get to know the brands and laugh at you or look down on you if it's not Chanel...

I buy clothes that look good on me and clothes I can be comfortable with. If its not comfortable, I won't buy it even if its branded. And you're right, it's about mixing and matching! :)

Sometimes I buy branded clothes, they have better quality and I can wear them for years without losing their form. Also, there are some specific brands that suit my body for certain type of clothes, for example diesel jeans make me look thinner. It's very important to check the quality before buying. However, I buy many cheap clothes that aren't branded as well. Especially my summer clothes are not expensive at all so that I don't feel bad when I wear them at the beach!

I completely agree with you! I like to shop at the mall but, my budget doesnt always allow for it, i think going to ross or even walmart and kmart or target. other small shops. You can find things other places and mix and match what you buy at one store with another, you might come up with a really nice look.

You dont really need branded clothes to look good. Branded clothes have extremely high prices for no reason, just because a t-shirt has a brand name itll cost more than the same t-shirt without the brand name. I think that its not the brand but the clothes themselves that are trendy.

I totally agree. Having your own style need not be expensive and if that makes you comfortable at the same time well and good. Being trendy is wearing what you like and what looks good on you and carry yourself well.

Not necessarily. If you're confident on your own skin, everything will be flawless. It's on how we carry ourselves and the attitude that goes with it that makes us beautiful even in the most unglamorous clothes.

I completely agree. You don't need to have to have branded clothes to look trendy or good. Equally by buying brands, you don't neccessarily look trendy. I think they're completely seperate things. I do like branded clothes but not all that botheres tbh

I couldn't agree with you. I'm addicted to brand handbags like Hermes, Gucci,Fendi,Sometimes I think it really cost me much money,However I finally found a good place to purchase handbag,that is www.handbagsbay.com. The price is very low and the qulity of product is nice.
