Same reason why they want name brand food instead of off brand and a Benz in they driveway that costs more than they house to a certain degree and level we all live beyond our means

even though the crazy thing is with some name brand clothes they're usually made in the same factory as an off brand knockoff but people dont recognize that

I'm sure someone that buys brand name food is buying it because it taste good, unlike someone buying brand name clothes who is doing it for their image.

niggas need to stop just looking at end result and look at motives.

The people that say "shit, don't you know how much this outfit costs?" as proof that it looks good(Soulja boi) aren't financially responsible.

If I like something I'ma cop it. Be it from Target(never wal-mart), Ralph Lauren, Stussy, Lacoste, or any other brand. Niggas need to learn how to ball on a budget.

Didn't you hear me say, i like they way their clothes are made and fit. There is a difference between high end products and some Walmart shit, there are certain things you want to spend good money on and i have no problem with that. I also know how to get deals (Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc), rarely do i ever go to one of the big department stores.

Why do some people insist on buying off brand clothes.. ?? It's all a choice. I buy them because I want to and can. I'd rather buy something and spend the money for the quality and be assured that I'm getting what I paid for, than to buy something from Wal-Mart or some place like that.. for less money and quality and then have the shit tear up after one wash. It doesn't make sense to me.

I think it's different for women. We really don't have to buy name brands. As long as we know how to hook it up, style it and accessorize, it's gonna look nice, even if it's all from Joyce Leslie or something. But name brands do have better quality. So if you plan on keeping something for a while, name brands make more sense.

only thing youre doing is paying for the NAME

It depends on the particular piece though. A t-shirt is pretty much the same, no matter the brand. A coat or even sweaters, is different though.

eh....if you got the money I dont see a problem with somebody wanting to spend on a label

me personally, I spend my money on utility.....it actually has to have a use for me to see it as valuable enough to spend my money

so if I buy a coat, it better be a good coat that lasts, looks good, and keeps me warm. but I peep some mofos buy shit just cause it got a name

the fuck you gon do with a louis rag SMH & LOL

For myself it is not the brand that I am paying for; it is the quality of fabrics/textiles that I am looking for and when you pay cheap; people tend to get cheap quality fabrics that always: a) rip b) stretch out c) shrink.

I won't lie. I'm shallow. I have to feel fresh, and the only way I will feel fresh is if I have expensive shit.

So if I wanna spend 175$ on a pair of diesel jeans or 250$ on some Kenneth Cole shoes, I'll just have to do that.

Image is everything...and I notice that niggas rile up with envy when they see you have on something that they can't afford. LoL

but why spend that much money if you dont have to?? 175 on a pair of jeans and niggaz in hati cant even drink a clean glass of water..some people priorities are all messed up
