I'm sure US and Europe have different notions on the types of elements that wear the different brands and labels of clothing. Let's hear it. What are you wearing now? What are you judging hard?
Let's talk brands
You are on page out of 2 | Reverse Order
Hugo Boss I don't know if this is a major player in the rest of the world but in Sweden it's mostly associated with gangsta wannabes, like the lowest life forms walking the streets, usually Arabs, Albanians and a few other Balkan groups. It's basically AXE of clothing. I wouldn't be caught dead in a sweater with BOSS typed all over it. Exclusively for ghetto folks who want to 'feel' expensive.
Gant This is like the pampered version of the above. If Boss is for the henchmen, Gant is for the heads of the local syndicate. Not totally against it cuz they have nice stuff every now and then.
Tommy / Hilfiger Denim I like their collection, especially t-shirts and sweaters, even though it strikes me as a kinda douchy brand. Only objection is the quality, I've torn one or two new sweaters/t-shirts after a moderately wild night out & in the washing machine. I like their shirts too.
"Polo" Ralph Lauren Love their shirts. Perfect fit, nice variety, great quality. I could pick one blindfolded and trust that it will look good on me.
Levis Not a fan of their jeans, but as far as denim shirts go they're #1 in my book. As jeans go I'm all for Wrangler and Diesel atm.
Calvin Klein Some of their sweaters and underwear are timeless, I own a few. The most fucked up thing is I once found a pair of their underwear in a catalogue and it said "no machine, no drycleaning, no handwash". So you only wear them once then? lol

Posted by LePetitFiskYeah I never were a brand phag and never understood ppl like that... but lately I'm coming back to certain brands. It's like following a tv-show, you want to see what the next episode will be like. "What have they cooked up now?"
I dunno. I shop everywhere. I go more for how it looks on me than specific brands.
Also, it's intresting to know what the fashion's like among mortals in other places but also discovering new brands I've never heard of.
Wearing right this minute:
-ASOS Long t-shirt
-Nike Paris St. Germain track pants
What I usually wear:
-oversized sweaters
-skinny jeans
-gym shoes/sneakers
What I'm judging lol:
-Suburban teenagers wearing Supreme & Adidas Yeezy sneakers. It's ironic, these herbs wearing streetwear when there's nothing street about the burbs. I bet these kids would get lost trying to use public transit, even w/ Google Maps.
-Girls who wear tight white pants. I'm torn because I don't like the look but women who wear them usually got a crazy booty.
-UGGs. I bet they'd have a massive increase in sales if you could buy them w/ Starbucks gift cards.
-Designer belts with big buckles. I used to want the burgundy Ferragamo belt with the rose gold buckle until every drug dealer & gangbanger started wearing those, the LV ones w/ the matching key pouch, Gucci, or Fendi ones in Chicago. It looks tacky when dudes are wearing a long shirt but it's tucked in the front just to show off the buckle.
-The North Face is the quintessential Midwest uniform, but it's so pedestrian. On the contrary, The North Face's Purple Label (Japan) & White Label (Korea) is extremely smart, modern, stylish, & has way better silhouettes, kind of like Carhartt vs Carhartt Work In Progress (their streetwear subsidiary).
I wish we had GU (Japan), 8seconds (Korea), & River Island (UK) locations in the US and I wish we had a COS in Chicago.

I don't think peopple really care that much about brands in the first world if they're middle class or above
they like cool and cheap shit, and the really rich only wear handmade
Posted by hydorahTell that to my clients. I was shopping for a clients' daughter for an LV luggage piece & I was explaining how they might be implementing dimension changes for certain airlines in 2018. She gave me the stank face & said "ummm I don't fly commercial." #mustbenicebitch

Posted by hydorahI don't see it as a matter of price or whether it's handmade or not. I will buy any brand for any cheap price as long as it pleases my eyes and I feel comfortable wearing it. Too expensive gets too douchy though cuz it's usually some minimalist looking shit that neither looks or feels the price.

Like I said, to me it's like awaiting the next P.T. Anderson film or whatever. You wait for the new Hilfiger sweaters or the Ralph Lauren shirts to see what they've come up with. It's not even about brand loyalty, it's like admiring a piece of art.
Generally the cheap brands are from the same chinese sweatshops who manufacture the pricey brands, they have the same material and more creative freedom.
You get actually more interesting stuff from them

But I bought a wallet, Michael Kors, not the cheap kind from TJ Max(that placewhere all the moms and grandmas hibernate at lunch time)but at a high end small at one of their exclusive shops,
Tell me why that junk ripped in less than a year, cheap ass leather, about 200/300 hundred plus down the drain. I know it's not LV,but I was expecting a bit more for that price.
Needless to say, I now hibernate at TJMaxx.

Posted by hydorahIf anyone wants the same product in between the production price & the markup, there's the 'grey market'. Overseas manufacturers will produce over their quota to sell unauthorized versions of the same product as extra income due to the lack of regulation. It's up to the consumer on how their morals stand: give money to the brand who's markup pricing is quite unscrupulous, or directly to the source performing the work even though grey market products are considered counterfeit (even though it's the same materials, construction, and goes through the same quality control process).

Posted by LooksmaxCampLove that place & Indochino. Indochino's a bit more bespoke, but Suit Supply has great fabrics. I'm debating on a double-breasted.
I thought Suit Supply was a great store even if the name sounds like Office Warehouse
Most salesmen will just push you towards one size if you are in between suit sizes
They have tailors in the shop that can tweak the suits for you
I hate to say it but if these pieces end up in the US, fuccbois would be selling them on Hypebeast & NikeTalk for triple.

I used to be all about brands. Now i'm just all about how I put shit together more. You can look a mill on less than $ 100 nowadays. I do still however carry, on occassion, a designer bag, since I have so many since that period. Although generally just the classics. Reminds me to best be getting busy listing things on the bay!

LV canvas is good, it's resilient to scratching & it's water-resistant (they use the same canvas as their trunks & luggage, since they're originally a travel accessory company & back then, people had to worry about their stuff capsizing & turning into flotsam/jetsam/lagan), it's handstitched & handglazed along the edges, & they offer repair services (unless you get a hole in the canvas, then you're fucked). Coach is a good in-between in terms of quality & price point.

I don't hate platforms. I don't really like overly chunky shoes except for like Timberland boots, but platforms look nice when someone can pull them off.
Oh yeah, it's all about off-white next year. I think people are trying to make frozen yellow happen just because of the new Yeezy release later this week. They're highlighter bright though; I don't like it.

My Libra ex & I used to send each other OOTD pictures every day & we did have a fashion/food/life style blog together. She was the more monochromatic one though, I wore a lot of jewel tones w/ off-white or grey at the time.
Haha just the whole driving a Dodge, dressing like a greaser, buying smokes at the gas station, "we gotta go svelte" thing reminds me of Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. That's awesome.

Overseas manufacturers will produce over their quota to sell unauthorized versions of the same product as extra income due to the lack of regulation. It's up to the consumer on how their morals stand: give money to the brand who's markup pricing is quite unscrupulous, or directly to the source performing the work even though grey market products are considered counterfeit (even though it's the same materials, construction, and goes through the same quality control process).
Generally the cheap brands are from the same chinese sweatshops who manufacture the pricey brands, they have the same material and more creative freedom.

I grew in Albany Park, mainly lived around on the North Side (Rogers Park, Albany Park, Irving Park, Avondale) and then moved to the north suburbs to be closer to work but I want to move back to the city.
Clothing: I'm cheap. I don't see the point of buying expensive clothes. I shop at forever 21, and Zara, and H&M.
Bags, jewelry and wallets are where I spend money. I buy designer most of the time. Higher quality will last you years, and if you get tired of the bag you could easily sell it. I've used the same Louis Vuitton bag for 6 years almost everyday, and it's still in great condition.
Shoes: I like sneakers so I usually wear adidas and Nike. For heels I used to buy Louboutins, but they just hurt too much. Now I just wear cheap comfy heels

Posted by UrsaMediocrePosted by Therealjane10Michael Kors bites everyone anyway. Anything other than their Saffiano leather pieces isn't bound to last.
It's not clothing related
But I bought a wallet, Michael Kors, not the cheap kind from TJ Max(that placewhere all the moms and grandmas hibernate at lunch time)but at a high end small at one of their exclusive shops,
Tell me why that junk ripped in less than a year, cheap ass leather, about 200/300 hundred plus down the drain. I know it's not LV,but I was expecting a bit more for that price.
Needless to say, I now hibernate at TJMaxx.
LV canvas is good, it's resilient to scratching & it's water-resistant (they use the same canvas as their trunks & luggage, since they're originally a travel accessory company & back then, people had to worry about their stuff capsizing & turning into flotsam/jetsam/lagan), it's handstitched & handglazed along the edges, & they offer repair services (unless you get a hole in the canvas, then you're fucked). Coach is a good in-between in terms of quality & price point.click to expand
Yes, Coach items have been stepping up lately, but it's limited to a few items. The best quality leather are the expensive but non brand names in Macy's. The quality of goods have gone down the drain.
I can't really talk about brands because I have the point of view my particular culture and social class and I know people have different points of views in other parts of the world or/and other classes, I know asians go crazy for brands for example, so I'll just stay out of that thread.
Personally I only buy clothes on the cheap, I like cool looking stuff but I try to avoid brands because I consider it's under my tier to wear a brand prominently.

Posted by Gob_ShiteIf you get a pair of Adidas you're getting them bc of the way they differ from other sports shoes. I'm personally a Puma man. Both are brands among others, yet I prefer what Puma does with their sports shoes. I'm not paying for the name... they just happen to have one. As for sports sweaters I prefer Adidas.
I try to avoid designer brands like the plague - in most cases, you're paying for the name and nothing more.
It's about what a brand does with their name in terms of style and vision.
If you don't have a specific style then sure, H&M is the way to go. I do too occassionally to fill the gap in my wardrobe. They don't have a specific "vision", they're basically just a sweatshop.

Usually in Asia and even on Canal St. in NYC if you know how to determine "close-to-real-but-still-fake" AAA vs Grey Market quality. You just have to have a good eye, know the tell-tale signs, & do certain things (blot tests on certain leathers, color fastness w/ solvents, etc.).
Posted by KoniuchaaIf you can pull those off, I won't hold that against you. I don't know why I don't like them usually, it's really irrational.Posted by UrsaMediocreI️ have a pair of tight white pants
Wearing right this minute:
-ASOS Long t-shirt
-Nike Paris St. Germain track pants
What I usually wear:
-oversized sweaters
-skinny jeans
-gym shoes/sneakers
What I'm judging lol:
-Suburban teenagers wearing Supreme & Adidas Yeezy sneakers. It's ironic, these herbs wearing streetwear when there's nothing street about the burbs. I bet these kids would get lost trying to use public transit, even w/ Google Maps.
-Girls who wear tight white pants. I'm torn because I don't like the look but women who wear them usually got a crazy booty.
-UGGs. I bet they'd have a massive increase in sales if you could buy them w/ Starbucks gift cards.
-Designer belts with big buckles. I used to want the burgundy Ferragamo belt with the rose gold buckle until every drug dealer & gangbanger started wearing those, the LV ones w/ the matching key pouch, Gucci, or Fendi ones in Chicago. It looks tacky when dudes are wearing a long shirt but it's tucked in the front just to show off the buckle.
-The North Face is the quintessential Midwest uniform, but it's so pedestrian. On the contrary, The North Face's Purple Label (Japan) & White Label (Korea) is extremely smart, modern, stylish, & has way better silhouettes, kind of like Carhartt vs Carhartt Work In Progress (their streetwear subsidiary).
I wish we had GU (Japan), 8seconds (Korea), & River Island (UK) locations in the US and I wish we had a COS in Chicago.

I don't think peopple really care that much about brands in the first world if they're middle class or above
Posted by ManInTheMoonI've ordered from Aliexpress, Taobao, & from overseas sellers on Amazon and it's so hit-or-miss. Clothing is more miss than hit & you get what you pay for since its so cheap (plus the sizing is usually off). I did find some grey market sellers for shoes on Taobao but they usually disappear & change their account names after they sell their current stock. I was skeptical at first since the pricing was too good to be true, but the materials & construction was legit. For example, I bought a pair of Jordan XI lows for my nephew, did side-by-side comparisons with a store-bought pair for imperfections & certain dimensions, & checked the outsole with a knife to see if it was real carbon fiber and it was.Posted by UrsaMediocreHave you ever tried ordering online ? Like aliexpress. I'm not sure if I can find that sorta of stuff in my country. Most things here are from turkey or china. Third world country damn. Only when the gypsies bring in the stuff then steal from donation boxes in Europe you can find some stuff that still has its tags.Posted by ManInTheMoonCheck out Pequod's &/or Lou Malnati's the next time you're in town.
