I'm impressed someone here knows Nudie jeans. I like Nudie and Evisu for jeans.

For clothes I like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Givenchy, Valentino... casually I'd wear whatever.

Nope, the kind of girls im interested in doenst really give a shit if im using a hollister tshirt or not, probably you are hanging arround with the wrong kind of people.

And anyway, sometimes i like particular clothes for example, i saw this Puma racing-like jacket, i really liked it and i bough it, but i didnt give a fuck what brand it was, i simply liked it, if you buy clothes because of the brand yes, you are a a total fag.

Clothes dont make a man, money doesnt make a man, a man makes a man. Who you are reflects on people FAR greater then a 200$ pair of jeans. So instead of buying your look at me clothes go out and grow some balls.

Panorama: I came off the wrong way, thought you were defending the whole clothes make the man, gotta buy nice stuff to show you care about appearance, etc etc crap. So I'll apologize to you, sorry bud.

Letmebewithyou: Take Panorama's advice and give a reason for what you posted. Clothes don't make someone who they are, period. If they do you are pretty lame person since you let some cloth represent who you are instead of your personality. You wear clothes tailored to black people, so obviously the clothes don't make a man in your case, nor do they represent how much you care about appearance or anything else so try again. Shakespeare was a genius but the times have changed.

Before any of you call people who are able to groom thmeselves fags, If you can't even control the way you look, how can you control other important things in your life?

Western culture and the sexual insecuritiy issues strike me.. Are you gay because you're wearing designers? Give me a break. The difference is that the fags would dress up to impress the other fags. The straight would dress up to impress the ladies. The first impression is always important. And the good first impression doesn't come for free. If you were a girl, would you rather date a guy who's wearing a freakin K mart $50 suit or Hugo Boss $1500 suit? Same applies for situations related with jobs and other social groups.
If you can't afford to look nice, then dress in your dumplings and be quiet

And if i were a girl i would date the Kmart $50 guy, because i wouldnt want to be with a pompous, snob, insecure son of a bitch that needs a 1500 piece of fabric to feel good about himself.

The problem here, and the reason why you dont see this so obvious, is because you are a pompous snob insecure son of a bitch who ned a 1500 piece of fabric to feel good abour yourself

For example, walk in to a jewellery store in 'Hang Ten' t shirt and shorts and browse through the jewels. The next day dress nicer and walk in to the same store and see how the greeting from the store staff changes. The image or the first impression you portray is from the way you're dressed.

I didn't read this entire thread as I felt my respect for the teamliquid community, and indeed society, being slowly eroded with each post.
I mean, honestly, caring about your appearance is one thing. It's a reflection of self-esteem, pride and can be a form of individualist expression. Then there is just plain vanity.
What disturbes me most about this thread are posts which say that $200 (AMERICAN!) is not an excessive amount of money to pay for a single article of clothing. There really is not that big of a difference, yes they look better, but not that much better.
Someone dropped a few quotes from Fight Club in this thread, and while I enjoyed that movie I found its anti-consumer rhetoric to be a little bit over the top. After reading the quantity of these posts I am begining to reconsider.
Yes people make snap judgements about you based upon the clothes you wear, and if someone is dressed like shit you automatically take a negative view. And yes, if you enter a jewelry store in a hang-ten tshirt you're probably not going to get the same service as a person in a Hugo Boss suit. But try the flipside; I consider myself fortunate that I have a group of friends and a broad social circle that would think me a pretentious fuck if I spent more on my outfit that bills and food that month. Try walking into your average pub, diner, restraunt in clothes that scream 'look at me - i have money - my life rules' as opposed to a normal, nice outfit and see the response.
I can't speak for anyone else but I can easily spot the difference between a person who lets their appearance reflect the respect they have for themselves, and those who try to mask their lack of self-esteem with expensive outfits. I'm willing to bet theirs just a few of the latter in this post.

now that was sad... sorry Dr. Phill but im not jealous of pretentious snobs, actually i dislike them, and you saying i cant afford them well... stop pullling facts out of your ass.

My sister as some of you know is a model, so she is a pretentious snob, her life is fashion, she spends probably 20 times more than you in clothes, and would probably laugh at you because you have no idea about fashion, so that makes you sad?, so i bet if you and her walk at the same time into a jewerly probably the desk girl will spit in your face. LOL.

So i CAN afford to buy $200 jeans, its just that i dont fucking WANT to, id be disgusted with myself if i spend extra $150 just because of a fucking tag that says hollister.

I can understand that girls fall into this fucking lunacy of fashion, they are raised that way, the media bombs them constantly with estetic perfection, wich ofcourse kicks back at the old age, but whats really sad is that a man, that isnt exposed to those things, volutarely chooses to be a superficial snob... its just sad, and so are you my friend.

What you have to remember is that a lot of people in this thread are still in high school. That generally means 2 things:

1) What you look like directly correlates to your social status.
2) Mommy and Daddy are buying those clothes for them.

When you get to college, you'll see the return of the hooded sweatshirt and you'll find yourself wearing stuff that is comfortable over outfits that cost half a grand. You might have a couple nicer outfits for when you go out on the weekends, but besides that you won't find yourself wearing anything important most of the time. In my time at college, I think I probably wore pajama pants, a hoodie, and a backwards hat to 95% of my morning classes.

Now that I'm out of college, I've noticed that I now have money to afford a more expensive wardrobe. When you go to clubs, the superficial appearance theme returns and you need a few decent outfits if you don't want to look out of place there. Beyond that, I have my casual business attire (shirt/tie/slacks) and when I'm not wearing that, I just wear your run of the mill t-shirt and cargo shorts.

There is NO difference in quality between an overpriced pair of jeans and something you can get off the streets of China for 1/100 of the price. I used to buy name brand jeans before I realized that there is no percievable difference whatsoever. They are both made in the same place, except in China there are 1000x more styles and sizes. Buying jeans in Canada/US is a pain in the ass, the general population is way too obese and its hard to find good waist sizes.

honestly saying you only wear certain brands of clothing is near the queerest thing i've ever heard. if i ever was getting some clothes with someone (yay lets go shopping) and they found some clothes that fit and then looked at the tag and was like oh noesd these are ... levis or somethin i would strangle him with the pant legs.
