Do you have a stereo-type for people who wear brand names, designer clothes and accessories? some think they are snobs and i'm just wondering what you think.

yeah it sucks to see these different groups and it also sucks that people classify you because of what you wear and buy

I hate the idea of imposing a single personality trait on a group of people. I wouldn't mind if you said that they were "a group of people who wear brand name, designer clothes and accessories" but to say they are snobs is unacceptable. The clothes don't make you a snob. How you present yourself to others make you a snob.

Most designer labels are usually just nicer and better quality. I'm not a fan of dressing in only designers like guicci or LV. It does come off as snobby.

I don't think that just because someone wears high priced name brands means they are snobby. It seems to be the majority though. Some people just prefer certain brands of clothing.

I see how people stereo-type it in to snobby. As for me, I don't think that all people who wear designer brands are snobby, they just have more money and care to spend it.

actually i think it's pretty pathetic when girls have FAKE designers since they're basically saying, "i want to come off as rich and snobby so here is my fake louis vuitton purse."

How you present yourself to others make you a snob. ^ I agree! There are a bunch of people at my school who wear designer brands and almost everyone wears Hollister/A&F/Abercrombie/American Eagle/Aeropostale. Then there's a bunch that also wear Ecko Red and other brands. Also, you've got those who wear clothes from Blue Room/Sun Diego (Volcom/Hurley/Matix). I haven't really seem people wear much Juicy Couture. There is a trend going on here, but how one presents themself is the huge factor in all of this. Just because they wear designer brands doesn't mean they're snobby--I know a girl who wears LV, Coach, Arden B., 7's, etc. and she's really nice. The ones that ARE snobby are the ones that constantly criticize others who don't wear designer brands or always compare lol. Eek I've had my share of those snobby people, and they're usually fake--they make a big deal out of one thing... -_-" |

I DEFINITELY DISAGREE! Sure SOME of them may be snobs but that doesnt make EVERYONE does it? thats totally biased. I wear designer brands but not because I want to come off as rich or snobby. Maybe its because I like that kind of style or because the materials are finer then other cheap stores. I hate that anyone would ever stereotype someone by the way they dress. I hate that people always try to define others when they cant even define themselves. The clothes may be a part of your whole presentation of yourself but that doesnt mean your exactly what your cloth make you look. Its just annoying that people judge others and never even get to know whats inside that persons heart. I think THOSE people are the true snobs

Well, I'll admit that I'm a slave to brand name clothes. But, the clothes I buy aren't really that expensive. The brand name clothes I have usually come from the clearance department or something like that. Hah, I suck don't I?
For me, I don't really think of rich people as snobby. I know a lot of wealthy kids. They don't really brag about their clothes or anything. |

You can't stereotype people that wear designer clothes. Some people that wear designer clothes I guess happen to be snobs but not all people are. You can be a snob if you wear designer clothes or not.

People who brag and are snobby about things really don't have anything better to do and are so insecure about themselves that they have to prove to other people that they are better than them.  I'm also a slave for brand name clothes, but I also buy a lot things that are clearanced or on sale. I have a knack for finding sales.

hmm being in a private hs, well almost like everyone wear designer clothes or have designer bags, but not all of them are snobby, actually most of them are pretty nice. to me i gotta admit that i love buying name brands stuff, but it's not just for the brand, it's for the style/material.

I would'nt stereotype them as snobby.
I'd just think that they're spoilt coz of all the brand named stuff they have..... One or 2 pieces I would'nt mind, infact.... would anyone?! But if ur dressed just full brand named expensive clothing and accessories from head to toe, I'd just stare...... and know that they'll be one of the next victims to be robbed...... O_o |
