Do you think over priced clothing..., is ridiculus? Options

[HolyMoly]

I've been looking for Jeans that I want for Christmas and I went to all sorts of brands online. I saw a pair of regular jeans for like 600$! It's so freakin ridiculus.
The other day I was watching tv and they were talking about it. They were asking young girls whos parents bought them clothing that was 200$ for a shirt. The girls were like, "Yeah, the more expensive it is the comfy and beautiful it is."
Then the guy asked them why they wanted expensive clothing. Heres there responce, "It makes you look more beautiful than any one else, and it makes you more popular." What in heavens name are their parents teaching them. Lol.

Anyways, My clothing usually comes really cheap, and everyone says they love my outfits. Soo, whats your opinions?

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Yeah, I know. It's pretty stupid.
600 dollars clothes don't make you cool or popular.
They make you look stupid.
Sure they may look comfy, but if the only reason you're buying them is casue they are expensive, and you wanna show off? Then, yeah, you're stupid.

But if it were comfort, or like, a fashion statement, or cause it looks good.

[WHOngos144]

It is ridiculous, my clothes are cheap but good looking

[Gypsy Eyes]

it depends on the brand, sometimes they are made of really good material and sewn well.

[silver-rain]

Yeah, I agree. I think that really overpriced clothes is ridiculous, especially if two shirts are made of the same material and look the same, but one costs more than the other. Sometimes, it's because of the brand name.

[Lizzz.]

"Yeah, the more expensive it is the comfy and beautiful it is."
"It makes you look more beautiful than any one else, and it makes you more popular." What in heavens name are their parents teaching them. Lol.

!
over-priced clothing doesnt make you popular. i know a chicks that wears brand & everything, & everyone hella hates her. you can not wear brand & still have alot of true friends.

it depends on the brand, sometimes they are made of really good material and sewn well.

thats is also true, designer brands have good material. but you can also find some non-brand clothing & they can still be made of good material. so i guess you just have to search for it .

[sense.n.style]

unless they were like REALLY good and were hand made or something... yeah, its ridiculous

[Teesa]

it depends on the brand, sometimes they are made of really good material and sewn well.

Yep, some of the time, they're really comfortable. But yes, I agree, the prices can get overwhelming and ridiculous. I would never buy $600 jeans or a shirt priced at $200. I could get like a whole new wardrobe with all that.

[Just_Dream]

It is definitelly rediculous to buy a pair of jeans for $600. Also, $200 for a shirt?! That's insane.

I mean, clothes should be bought for comfort. The girl said "it makes you look more beautiful than anyone else" and that "it makes you popular." WTH.. Clothing only makes you popular to people who are VERY superficial and materialistic. But hey, we live in a society where a variety of people follow trends to the point where they only befriend those who look and/or dress like them.

What happened to wearing comfortable clothing? What happened to being popular with people and having many friends due to their great personality? What happened to INNER BEAUTY?

[HolyMoly]

People are stupid, what can we say...

[_sarcastic_]

i don't think people will know how much that shirt is unless you go around telling them, but i'm sure that half the people would think you are crazy to buy sucnh an expensive shirt. i don't think it will make you popular in anyway unless it's to those who do the same thing

AHHHHH!!! I WANNA KILL EM ALLL!! omg..theyve all been BRAINWASHED!! AHG! whats this world come too...of COURSE shirts for $200 r a RIPoff!!!! just that everyones been brainwashed into thinking brandnames=coolness...i get my clothes for $10 or less and i get compliments on them too b/c my clothes r cheap but they have really interesting and unique details that u dont usually/neverrr find on brand name clothes wheres its a $200 white tee w/ their logo on it

and its not like my clothes fall apart in the middle of the street..theyre cheap and wayyy uniquer looking unlike the ppl wearing old navy shirts that 304872 other ppl have exact copies of

i have a friend who brags about how much each article clothing on him costs...hes a north face guy...so hes like...pants $500!!! shirt..$200!!! goretex!!! blahblah..and its like..my pants cost $10...and they look the same if not better than brand names...u cant really tell the difference in a $500 shirt and a $5 shirt unless u look at the tag..

i had another friend teasing his friend b/c he wore an unknown brand of white tshirt and he points at his own plain white t shirt and says OLD NAVY!..and dude...they were the SAME EXACT WHITE T SHIRT TO MEE!!! and served the same function...-__- AND i didnt see his "unknown brand" tshirt fall apart while walking or anything -_______-

this kids sound like complete brainwashed ditz *chokes* argh

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

O yes but its a must have. " O, I Must have them because it says her name" What do you expect?

[angelrevelation]

i think it depends on the brands... some of them are really special and are really good quality, but some are just expensive because their name is on the clothes or w.e.
lots of the stuff i've seen at nordstrom is a real rip off. but stuff at like... kenzie is gorgeous.

[HolyMoly]

Yeah, but I get name brand clothes from like ross and stuff for really cheap. And at other stores, but ross is my home.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

I think its stupid to have jeans that cost like 60 dollars, just because they slapped a brand on. Maybe if i could afford those, i would think it was wonderful and reasonable. But unfortunately i havent gone shopping in two years, ( not including a shirt here, or a pair of pants to replace my old ones that were so worn out they ripped, practically in two ) and me and my brother share clothes.

[Gigi]

I think it completely depends on the brand and what you're selling.

You can't really expect to buy anything designer, especially clothing, under 300 dollars. You simply cannot. Not that I would go and burn a few hundred dollars for the latest Chloe blouse because it makes me look rich or whatever, but I think that the prices are so high for their own reasons. Think of all that time. All that labour, all the costs of the materials and stuff. You may not think it's worth it but that's just how much it costs.

Then again, I'm talking about designer labels. Then there's the really casual stuff, cotton tshirts and the like that sell for hundreds. *rolls eyes*

I guess that brings me to how people buy expensive clothes to look "cool"...anything that people buy or use to seem "cool", be it a pair of red-soled Christian Louboutin heels for a few hundred or a Livestrong bracelet for a buck, is just stupid.

[yo pusha]

if people didnt buy the overpriced clothing than it wouldnt be so overpriced. hype kills

[chasingsunshine5...]

honestly i think it is so annoying and it drives me crazy. i live in a town that has no clothes shopping whatsoever and you cant drive anywhere to a place that does ( sounds impossible i know.. but i live in alaska) and all the online clothes are majorly overpriced. fun huh?

[Just_Dream]

honestly i think it is so annoying and it drives me crazy. i  live in a town that has no clothes shopping whatsoever and you cant drive anywhere to a place that does ( sounds impossible i know.. but i live in alaska) and all the online clothes are majorly overpriced.  fun huh?

Just wondering, where in Alaska? If you live near Anchorage or Juneau, there's a few malls and yea... :P But you're right, there isn't much there. My brother-in-law lives there, so yea...

As for what Gigi said -- I agree. I mean, there's a reason that certain things are high-priced. But it's CRAZY to pay for something that looks and is made by the exact same thing as another (which is of a cheaper price).

Oh yea, and I ALSO think it's crazy for people to pay over $300 on a dress (besides a wedding dress) if they're only wearing it once. WTH is with the people buying $500+ prom dresses and only wearing them once? I mean, sure it's a "night to remember," but wow... There's more to remember than a dress.

[NgocQuyen]

lols i think that expensive clothing is unnecessary really. if expensive clothing makes you popular, you're basically buying your popularity lols. even saying that, it's not really true...i consider myself fairly popular and you know i go BARGAIN HUNTIN LIKE A MO...hahah

ROSS: DRESS FOR LESS

[mzbbc]

well i know what you mean, but the sad thing is that people actually will still buy clothes even if they are crazy expensive. so i don't think it's ridiculous, because brands make so much money that way, and sometimes the clothes are worth it.

but yes, it's soooo annoying when you really want it but you know you don't have the money.

[Chii]

yes, over priced clothing is ridiculous. nobody is going to know how much you spent on a pair of jeans when they see you wearing them, not too many people like stare at you and try to figure out what brand your jeans are or how much they are.

besides, what's the point in spending like $100+ on something that probably cost like less than $10 to make?

[EddieV]

Depends on the price, some overpriced clothing you can't get anywhere else, so you buy it from there. It also depends on the quality of the fabric made, and the comfort.

[HolyMoly]

It's funny how some people spend like thousands of dollars on clothes instead of giving it to people who acctually need clothes. And I wonder what happens to those clothes after they wear it 1 night? Garbage. Thousands of dollars down the drain. This world is corrupted with money, clothes and other things. Lol.


-The most exspensive clothing I have is like 20$. I am like the bargain queen. I have so many shirts worth like 2-5$. Its awesome.

[Rachel]

No, I love over priced clothing. Dur.

[illumineering]

My entire wardrobe didn't cost as much as the jeans! Coats and shoes included!

[Just_Dream]

Depends on the price, some overpriced clothing you can't get anywhere else, so you buy it from there. It also depends on the quality of the fabric made, and the comfort.

When it comes to quality, it still doesn't really compare with the pricing. I mean, sure it'll be more expensive to make, but I'm sure the jeans aren't worth $600 themselves.

I agree that when it comes to quality, some times may be of a higher price. But not where it's like.. 10x the price of something that is a tiny bit lower quality. I mean, I have jeans that I consider expensive, but they're like, 1/5 the price of those jeans.

And HolyMoly - I agree--they could be donating that money if they just like to throw away money on jeans that will probably be forgotten within a short amount of time (that's what happens when people have too much money! lol).

[__modish]

Haha :) I guess it usually depends on the brand, but yeah. A lot of clothes that are really expensive are usually the same quality as regular clothes. I love pricey clothing, but I think it mostly depends on quality.

[emazing]

It's crazy, yeah.
It's unbelievable how Abercrombie&Fitch sells a pair of their jeans for $100.
I could get mines for around twenty. It's possible.

[seriouslynikki]

Yes, over priced clothes are just funny. I mean, you can find really cheap clothes that has great material and looks really nice for your body.

[MyCATSwatchingtv]

if i had money i wouldnt care
but i donot
so it is ridiculous

[HybridCountdown5]

The world would be a better place if we wore T.J. Max and donated the rest to charity, it could end poverty in 3rd world countries and save our souls

[HybridCountdown5]

ah crappe, clicked the submit button twice ><

[*mipadi*]

Isn't it ridiculous to buy anything that is overpriced? Overpriced is, by definition, priced higher than it is valuable, and to buy anything like that is ridiculous.

[synthase]

no offence or anything
those girls are biatches

People will forget what you said and they will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.

[ComradeRed]

Technically, the value of an object is how much enjoyment you get from it. So if you're willing to buy it, then it's clearly not overpriced (otherwise you wouldn't buy it, because you'd be happier with the money, yes?)

[Babi3xFoOlish]

you dont need to buy expensive clothes to look pretty or whatever.
they;re just em spoil richasses. lol

[m.ar.i.a]

yes yes yes! i mean they are all machine made anyway, wats the effort?? but there clothes look better but still. these days, all good pants are like $40!! who has that kinda money??

[HybridCountdown5]

hey, thats an interesting way to look at it

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

Sometimes it's just plain amusing to find overpriced clothing.

One time when I was walking through A&F with my family my little brother said, "They sell old ripped up pants for $80! What a ripoff!"

I bit funny considering he's eight.

[AnnahhbeL]

whats the difference? clothes are made for you to be worn, not to be popular. every type of clothing is made out of frabic anyway.

[aznxdreamer]

psh. my shirts never go over 10 bucks, and my jeans never go over 20. i still look good.

overpriced clothing is jsut stupid and people who buy over priced clothing are stupid. you most definetly can get a better deal for similar looking clothing elsewhere.

[me1issaaaa]

Right, but if you were Paris Hilton or someone who would see $600 as just pocket change, you'd probably buy it. I admit I would if I had that kind of cash. But being the person I am and not having that kind of lifestyle, I wouldn't. It'd be nice, though.

[flipnotik]

its great when your uncle designs for the GAP and u can get 60 percent off jeans

[innocentwinky]

It depends on ur lifestyle. I personally "cringe" at full price clothing and put it back in the rack. I was looking at it , and just think .. if i buy it at the factory it will be 3 dollars . Most of the jeans are made in third world countries. And trust me it's not that hard to find those jeans there. It's crazy that you would spend 50 dollars on some jeans with holes under your butt. If i really want to smell you ....BUT the thing is i dun care what u smell like and what underwear u wear ... jeans are suppose to cover u... anyways.

Clothes are clothes. I bet u can get a better look for the same amount of money u spend on one pair of jeans... imagine...
2 for 20 dollar tees at forever 21 .
a pair of jeans from Robinson Mays
shoes from .......etc..

[HolyMoly]

Sometimes it's just plain amusing to find overpriced clothing.

I bit funny considering he's eight.

I was walking through A&F with my dad and he went up to a living manicain (A guy that stand in the front wearing their clothes) and said, "Hey theirs a seamstriss on the third floor if you want to get those jeans repaired." I was like shut up dad. anyways my dad says hes going to start a new company hes going to buy cheap jeans from wherever and ripp the tar out of em and sell them for 100 bucks. Lmao. He wont accually do it but thats what he told me we should do. He said we would sit out by the beach and sell them to Japanese tourist.

That would be nice, but still, where does that money go? Hmmm.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

it's like buying a computer. you pay an extra $800 to have "sony" on it.

[Dragonfly_babe]

yes definately unless....u have a really good reason for buying it

[Stephire]

it depends on the brand, sometimes they are made of really good material and sewn well.

I agree, but if it's crap material, then it's over priced.

[DaTru KataLYST]

I'm not ashamed to say I find my clothes at Ross.


Cuz I pay less!

[Aoiro]

Of course it's ridiculous!
It costs more just because it has the brand on it.
But if it's good material, and made in high quality, then fine, it can be how it's priced.

[espressive]

Yeah, some prices are waaaaaay overly priced. I think it's ridiculous to buy all these brand-names (which, by the way, are usually over priced!) just because it makes you look fashionable or whatever. It's not like you'll be walking around with the price tag sticking out anyways.

I don't mind splurging a bit, but I would never spend $600 on a pair of jeans!! That's just outrageous! Granted, some clothes are worth the splurge because of the type of material it's made of or whatever, but it never hurts to check the sales rack.

[Gerifan04]

Hell I think all clothing is overpriced. I'm only 18 and I remember just about 9 years ago I could get a t-shirt for like $12. These days the average t-shirt with something on it such as the clothing brand logo or a band logo is like $20. Don't get me wrong, this isn't coming from someone living on hard times. I do still live with my parents and they bring home decent money, we are middle class. Yet I have been on hard times before so I really understand the value of the dollar and prices for clothing is just pathetic. Jeans are like $30 dollars a pair. Like I said, we're doing okay now but even still a weeks worht of clothes are easily $200+ these days. That may be okay for some of you but with me and my two sisters thats almost a grand. Thank goodness over the years I've gotten clothes whenever I had the opportunity. I now have so many clothes I'm thinking about donating some. But if I was to lose the majority of my clothes for some reason we'd be screwed.

[sw33t_rouge]

if the look standout and nobody has it then i think its ok to buy expensive clothes.

[lexi81375]

for me it depends like cauz i'll be the first to admit i'm extremly spoiled and def have splurged on really expensive clothes(thanks mum&daddy) but i really don't get the point anymore because i really can find clothes a lot cheaper at other places than just going and buying the most expensive outfits at brand name stores ! at my high school image and brand names really do travel in the same circles because if u don't have a real designer purse that cost atleast $500 then u basically have no chance at a good social life ! i realized after watching this awful vid bout ppl starving in America that i really didn't need all my expensive stuff ! my $1,500 prada purse could have fed so many homeless ppl same goes for my massive collection of manolos and ripped jeans !

[blahblahblah77]

ill admit to having some jeans that cost me $50 but only cuz they were bought for me for by relatives and crap
but otherwise im totally for cheap clothes
dont get me wrong i have the money for expensive ones
but i just find myself hating the way they look
and thats ridiulous to price clothes thta expensive when u could spend yer money on things much more needed

[Dance_like_poetr...]

I'm up for cheap clothing, but some splurges are good from time to time. The most i've ever spent on something was $210 and the cheapest was $3. :!

[xscore]

more money, better quality
