Designer Labels

[lily.]

Do you prefer designer labels or would you wear things no matter the price/label..?


I hate labels personally.

[Jords]

I like to have some labelled clothing, but really Id wear anything as long as it looks decent. Would never spend loads on one item of clothing though. Get the expensive labelled stuff in sales :thumbs:

[lily.]

This was inspired by a discussion I had in MSN last night actually. I can't afford to buy designer labels at the moment, but that wasn't always the case... There was a time I could afford them, but still didn't buy them. I think they're a total rip-off. I know a lot of people like them, but they're not for me.

[InOne]

I wear like £3 T-Shirts and stuff like that, not bothered at all.

[lily.]

You can be in my slob-gang Joe.. :thumbs:

I buy these too! I like a bit of both :hugesmile:

I get most of my clobber from Primark. I do have a pair of Vans trainers though. I do like the look of Roxy clobber, the surfer type clobber but it is expensive but might treat myself in the sales.

[Dr.Gonzo]

I hate it. I like clothes you don't see on every other person.

If you're not enough without a label, you'll never be enough with one.

Petroleum > Top Man

Better clothes Cheaper prices

[InOne]

Only thing I like is Guinness T-Shirts, and ones from Pubs and stuff, and some bands

[Brad.]

Yes Andy Petroleum is great. and i voted a bit of both.

[lily.]

Nice to see a bit of variety in this poll. I have to be honest, I expected a lot of members to be pro-designer, and not wear anything else.

[Mrluvaluva]

Am I in the minority?

[Fom]

I just buy anything I like, sometimes I get expensive stuff sometimes I get a £3 t-shirt... I have a big mix.

[lily.]

Yeah, B.. you are a clothes snob...:P

[Captain.Remy]

I'm a huge fan of Calvin Klein, underwear's, t-shirts, jeans, classy pants... Other than that I like Eleven, Lacoste and Guess. H&M is amazing too, for real.

[\PJ/]

The only brand i really like is fred perry just the nice simple tops witht the logo i have about 6 and i think cheaper shops are just as good as designer shops these days.

I have never heard of Petroleum?

[Mrluvaluva]

Yeah, B.. you are a clothes snob...:P

No I am not. Lol. Although I am ashamed to say I once spent £280 on a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes. But in my defence I had a Selfridges gift voucher.

[lily.]

You are Barry. We've had this discussion over and over again. You are a total clothes snob. You spend a fortune on clothes.

I don't mean you look down on people who don't wear designer labels, but I mean you hate to wear non-designer.

[Enid]

Both. If I buy designer it's always Dr. Martens or Fred Perry.

FCUK OFF. :) I know what you mean.

Couldn't care less about labels to be honest with you and it sometimes makes me laugh seeing how obsessed some people get about them, particularly when I consider the sweathshops that a great deal of companies use to manufacture their goods.

So do you think Asda, for instance, don't push down their prices more than..say..Armami?

I'm not getting into the ethical dilemma of it all here, or trying to compare one company from the other - I'm just suggesting that it's very silly to get so absorbed in labels when you consider what's really involved in the manufacturing of their goods, that's all.

Depends what is being made. And discounters and supermarkets are the biggest exploiters of all. Seeing as it was mentioned. But let's not get into that..

I own £120, £90 and £65 boots. All designer. They've lasted me years, so investing in good quality footwear is worth it.

I agree with that statement sometimes. My winter coat has lasted ages cuz it was made by a solid designer.

I buy cheap stuff from Primark.. the 3/4 pound tops that look great and are comfy and generally good for the price. I get gifted designer stuff though at christmas and stuff. although, I'd rather have 20 £3 pound tops than have one designer jumper.

[Enid]

Everything from Primark is junk, haha. I bought some £2 shoes from there (I dunno what I was thinking), first time wearing them five minutes down the street they start falling apart. Yeah, I'll stick to my designer.

[Stephanie]

i used to shop in primark but the quality of the stuff really is naff, basically all the stuff i've brought is ruined now.

You're so predictable.. Jack Wills *****..

Go get Dean.. he called it Jack Willis.. :P

[Enid]

It's okay for underwear, nobody will know how cheap you are (:P), plus less likely to fall apart and feck you over.

If I had the money I would love to buy some designer stuff because a lot of it is gorgeousssss. But a lot of high-street is just as good. I'm a bit of a clothes snob concerning high-street though,I'd rather wear something from TopShop than say from Primark.

[GypsyGoth]

I'm not bothered where my clothes come from if I like the look and colour. Also I'm not too fond of shopping so I like getting things that will last.

[Lewis.]

Although, I have a thing for Superdry. I LOVE it. (L)

[Sam!]

I prefer designer but not cause it's designer but cause it's generally better. But I do like highstreet too. Primark is a load of crap, I can never find something I like in there.

[Stephanie]

my friends all call primark 'primarni' pmsl

[Callum]

Designer labels personally.

[Stu]

I hate brand names. I'm a bit of a slob too. I have one pair of leather pants and a drawer full of chains and pearls for special occasions but apart from that I always go around camo pants, ripped jeans and band T-Shirts.

In fact I recently clocked in my Depeche Mode T-Shirts at 7 so theoretically I have one for every day of the week. I'm currently celebrating Tour Of The Universe Wedensday.

[MrGaryy]

I wear what I like. By that I mean, if I see something I want for a fiver I'll buy it. similarly if I see something for 105 I'll buy it, price doesn't come into the equation nor does a tiny label at the back. It used to make me feel better knowing I was wearing something really expensive but now I've come to the conclusion it's how you wear the clothes not who designed them. If you opened my wardrobe you'd find a price range of about 3 pounds to 300 pounds with some labels and some not.

[bronaaaa]

Just high street shizz
I'd love to go vintage shopping sometime <3

That is very cool Ben, I thought you'd be designer only.

[30stone]

I used to be...

But coz i am a bit dis proportionate... coz of my training..
Not a lot of tops fit me..

So i cant just have that sorta stuff no more..

I love esprit now, the tops are the only ones that fit me perfect.

So my tops are usually 10 pound nowadays..

But have some armani n that still, but gym clothes are old designer clothes/ primark tops.

All my jeans are deisgner though. and trainers etc..
