Personnaly I wear mostly Stone Island, Fake, Evisu 'n stuff.. mainly because it fits sooo much better than high street clothes.
If I go into say Next I spend ages trying stuff on and then end up buying something that's a little to tight or baggy. If I go into a store that's a little more expensive I can be in and out in 20 minutes as most of the stuff fits perfect.
you?

Nice, not many people wear Stone Island, I love men in this get up
Then there's the labels/brands like Diesel, French Connection, Lee, Levi's, Benetton etc.
And then there are the proper designers, who all go by full name or surname (though Benetton is a surname, but we'll forget that)
Only go into designer shops if I am with my dad, otherwise it's just a waste of time, as I simply don't have enough cash on me, and need to have my dad to blaim when my mom starts going on and on and on about the fact that I could have bought two pair of pants for the same price as a shirt or so.
But I prefer it. Has a nice feel to it, and fits better.
Though I mostly buy stuff from label/brand stores . Which is also great, just not as luxurious.
i don't buy designer or high-end high street cause i know how much those jeans cost to make. and i sure as hell am not paying £70 for them.
I know what I like, and I know that those four will fit me well and make me look good.
Now I've hit the part of my life now where I wanna LOOK expensive and smart and that I care how I look. It makes people pay attention and respect people if they look and smell good. Even tho I haven't the money for it now....I'm hittin the london shoppin hot spots when I start work
I also believe that lookin and smellin good will boost my self confidence. Sure will. My mate threw me a decent designer shirt one night to go out wiv and it worked wonders....how many was it....3 numbers? That's 3 more then wearin that tatty market-stall shirt...
im lookin at a pair of diesel ones at the mo for £130..ridiculous!
They have gold studs n zipper/button in em???
what i do is check out sales mainly round jan/sept kind of times for awesome clothes at cheap price, and only pay full price for something that you really have to have at other times, if u look hard in sale racks in designer shops you can find real good bargains - i got some nice new diesel jeans for 20 quid, diesel biker jacket style top for 25 quid, g-star jeans for 30, well nice firetrap creased shirt for 17, etc..
u don't have to break the bank to dress well if u look hard enough
Usually that means slightly more expensive clothes and designers, but you'd be surprised at the number of pretty good clothes Topshop has! When I'm feeling poor, I like it. And I'm feeling poor a lot of the time at the moment.
im not assed about having makes or anything. i certainly dont care about proper designers like prada versache etc, think theyre a bit old for me anyway. i just shop at high street or high street designers.
i know what u mean kaffrin, about jeans being £70 and they cost hardly anything to make. the problem is though ive tried on so many different makes of jeans and none of them fit me, only diesel and miss sixty do. so i'll happily pay the extra to look & feel good.
So it's mainly high street, and trawling charity shops, for me. There are a couple of good discount clothing shops up here, a bit like TK Max, but cheaper.

Designer stuff doesnt bother me as much, Ill buy something cheap only if it looks good though.
My aunt acts all posh and toffee-nosed and walks about with good clothes on. Stuff that she got from Oxfam and the like. Appearances can be deceiving.
