Designer Clothing

[dawid1000]

I wanna see your guy's opinions on designer clothing, Roast / rate it as much as u like. I'm interested about how ppl view expensive clothing around the world!

Waste of money IMO.

Just buy what looks nice and feels good. More expensive clothing just happens to be that way, but if you find a cheaper garment that looks the part then go for it.

You do you on how you want to style yourself, honestly. 

I knew people who would show up looking nothing less than fresh and I knew people who could not give a shit about how they looked.

As with most things in life, there's a point of diminishing returns. A $125 shirt or pair of jeans will feel and look significantly better than something that costs $15.

It has more design to it, it's not simply cut in a more boxy fashion to fit more body types.

Material and detailing is also much more prevalent in more expensive clothing.

 

I don't like clothing with labels splattered all over it. I'm not a billboard.

I know some people who absolutely must have name brand clothing, I personally don't see the point of spending so much on clothing, if it looks good on me and is comfortable then I'm happy.

About 5% of my wardrobe is designer clothing, I don't care much for brand name clothing. You can look nice without overpriced clothes.

I have a few Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Lacoste polos that I like to wear. I do have target brand tshirts and hanes which I usually wear around the house, but am thinking about donating (most is old and doesn't fit too well). I just like to dress up in nicer brands when I leave the house. I'm starting to delve into other stuff and thinking about picking up some off-white and other designers, and streetwear such as Supreme. I also just bought a Bape hoodie to get ready for winter. I also will buy stuff if it's cheap yet looks good, like you don't need to spend $500 on a pair of distressed bleached pants when you can find the same thing for $50 just not from a famous/designer brand. Some prices are ludicrous such as this pair of designer jeans I want https://mikeamiri.com/collections/2018-denim-all/products/denim-cargo-black-wax, but some are justifiable.

 

I also love designer sunglasses, and am easily willing to spend hundreds, even maybe a thousand on a pair of sunglasses. I don't know why, I know they're just molded pieces of plastic, but I like them. They're fun to collect.

 

I'm not rich or anything, most of my designer clothes I got from thrift shops, as they sometimes come through, and if you go there daily you can find some good deals, typically $9 for a nice shirt around here.

I think designer shoes are cool but everything else I don't think matters imo like if I could rock it for sure would where white t-shirt, red fannel on top, jeans, with some fly shoes everyday tbh.

Thrift stores are the best, man.

 

I grabbed a $20 Twenty One Pilots shirt for like $2 from there. One of my best thrift store finds, I must say.

I don't personally care for designer clothing. I view it as some things Dave Ramsey talks about: you're buying things with money you don't have to impress people you don't like.

I'm also somewhat picky about clothing, in that if I don't like something, I'm not gonna wear it.

 

Designer clothes are also ridiculously expensive. It's just clothing, I don't get what's so important about it. The stuff I get cheaper is comfortable enough, and I'm okay with that.

I also look good(or so I think) in what I wear as my day to day outfit(which still doesn't change day to day).

[Andreas Lilja]

Only shoes tbh. Never really spent less than 125$

 

Other than that maybe caps or gym gear. But Nike stuff is hardly expensive. 

[AskTJ]

I love designer clothing as I can go on aliexpress, buy a shirt for $8 and sell it for $20 at school. ENTREPRENEURSHIP!

[Lathlaer]

I don't care about designer clothing but I do care about classic men's elegance. Aside of computers it's actually my second passion and/or hobby. 

 

Where people see grey businessman suit I see a sharkskin three piece suit made of 120's wool on full canvas with peak lapel jacket. I love looking at bespoke tailor ateliers. I have few Hermes ties and few other 7-folds.

 

I'd love to own a Tom Ford suit but where I live they don't sell them and it's very impractical to buy them online. For the overhead cost I can have a good made to measure suit made or even bespoke suit made here that will look better on me.

 

White shirts? Love'em. Turnbull&Asser is my favorite. 

 

Shoes? Huge fan of Crockett&Jones, Edward Green and Vas. Favorite cut? A wholecut which is one of the most difficult to make and master.

I'll buy a particular brand when I know it's likely to fit, be comfortable and last a decent amount of time but most of the brands I buy are definitely at the cheaper end of the market. I really don't see the point in paying over the odds just so something has a particular logo or whatever on it.

I got my Twenty One Pilots shirt from a thrift store as well, it just made me wonder why they donated it. Hopefully it's because they lost weight and it no longer fit because it's an XL.

The one I found was actually the perfect size for me, makes me think it was donated because someone grew out of it.

I buy clothing based on country of origin and quality. I doubt anyone has heard of the brand of New Zealand merino wool shirts, Australian jeans made from European or Japanese denim i wear or the other artisan clothes i collect tbh but theyre better than anything short of Ferragamo but i dont pay $1000 a shirt or pair of jeans. Got some custom Italian Canali shirts which is designer ish but i never wear them. I buy made in USA Newbalance 900 series shoes as well. Not designer but you do see a lot of famous people wearing them off stage/camera.

[kasugatei]

I have lots of designer shirts. I don't care about designer pants because I tend to tear them really fast. 

I like stylish designer shirts and the main reason for buying them is to have minimal chance of seeing people with the same shirt. I also dislike designer shirts which are literally screaming Gucci, Prada etc. 

 

Regarding other clothes, I have a lots of Arc'teryx outdoor technical wear. That brand is super expensive, but quality and performance are superb. For outdoor clothes I also go with Patagonia for fleece and Mammut for various clothing pieces. Although some people make fashion out of outdoor technical wear, I don wear it in the city. Unless it is typhoon season so then I take Gore Tex jacket with me.

[Eschew]

If it's comfy and looks decent, I wear it. For shirts and hoodies, bonus points if it's an all-black, all-dark gray, or all-white (less laundry hassle).

 

Personally, I hate paying a premium for something just because it has a brand name stamped on to it. If a product has no other practical or redeeming qualities besides the brand name, I bite my thumb at thee.

[Lord Vile]

Best clothes quality wise are your mid price stuff. So like you’re £20-40 jeans for example. Designer stuff you’re essentially paying for a logo, personally the closest I get to designer is TK Max where you can get £100 jean for £30 or getting Nike stuff in a sale but I wouldn’t count that as designer. 

 

Don’t see the point in spending £150 on some Levi’s for the patch sewn onto the waist or £40 for a white shirt with an ironed on supreme logo. Rather get a shirt with something I like on it for £10. I mean I have black converse I’ve just replaced that I bought 8 years ago for £40 and wore to death. Why would I spend 5x on that for what’s trendy?

[Kawaii Koneko]

Honestly, about as high as I go are brands like Abercrombie, BKE, etc. Not sure if those are considered "designer" or not. They are definitely more expensive than the clothes you buy at Target or Wal-Mart but we aren't talking $300 shirts or pants here.

 

Honestly, I find the durability to not be particularly great compared to cheaper brands you find in Wal-Mart or whatever but they are WAY more comfortable and look more stylish. That's more important to me.

[Pickles von Brine]

Useless. Give me cloths that:
1) Are comfortable
2) Reasonably priced
3) Durable
4) Did I mention comfortable?

Personally, I don't pay attention to fashion and really just don't care. If I gotta dress up, i will dress up in a suit or go business casual. Personally, my every day is either a polo or button down with jeans. Timeless, no hassle, comfy and not overly bothersome. Plus, i can get used jeans for CHEAP. If I want holes in my jeans, fine. $25 jeans + Rocks + rope + car = $300 dollar jeans. 

 

Either that or I will wear them till there are actual holes in the knees. I did that to about 6 pair so far.
