Wear all designer? Options

[shortiiex]

My friends were talking about how i wear baby phat a lot and then i said i wanted these pretty Gucci AF1, and then they said i was all designed with labels. I am so not...sometimes...
what about you?

[Nicolatofu]

I wear some designer clothing...but it's not all based on that. If I think something's cute, I buy it. Regardless of the label, because then that would be just silly!

[ghjgfkgfk]

i sound stupid but, what makes a label "designer"?

[Xprezsion]

I wear Ecko, AE, Abercrombie, Aero, Wet Seal, Gap, Baby Phat, Forever 21, H & M, Old Navy and stuff, but the brands don't really matter to me. Even if I wanted to wear all designer, my mom wouldn't let me spend that much money.

[Teesa]

brands don't matter to me, whatever looks cute, I buy. I have a lot of forever 21 stuff, but I don't know if that's a brand or whatever.

[gigiopolis]

i sound stupid but, what makes a label "designer"?

That's a hard question. I've always tried to put the definition into actual words. I suppose anything that is considered "luxury." Or runway shows that you can find at www.style.com.

So Baby Phat is NOT designer, if the above definition is used.

[sweetxsimplicity]

No, I don't really like designer clothing, it's just too...classy. But I like designer handbags.

[FLIPxADDICTION]

i don't wear all designer. mix and match. a lot of clothes that have no brand are still good

[Chii]

i wear whatever looks good to/on me

i shop at forever 21, H&M, and wet seal a lot...i personally don't like those big designer labels like the ones mentioned because everyone wears them...i don't want to wear a shirt and have like 5 people wearing the same thing or owning the same thing...

but i do really want this rocawear handbag

[*stephinika*]

doesn't matter if it is brand-name or not to me...i have some though. if i like something, i like something and some days it just happens to be designer.

[BiGdRaGoN31]

sometimes, cant afford to always though

[misoshiru]

welll...what do you classify as brand name? like would tommy hilfiger and polo jeans/ralph lauren be considered as brand name? if so, then yes

[Rachel]

I wear Ecko, AE, Abercrombie, Aero, Wet Seal, Gap, Baby Phat, Forever 21, H & M, Old Navy and stuff, but the brands don't really matter to me.  Even if I wanted to wear all designer, my mom wouldn't let me spend that much money.

those arent designer brands...

designer is like gucci, versace, coach, vera wang, other over priced shit.

[xiao_ai009]

i don't wear designer - i've got one real burberry bag at home from one of my relatives but i rarely use it...

in fact, for some reason i have this thing where i really dislike some designer brands (e.g. gucci, dior, vuitton, roberto cavalli) on principle (as in, why would i pay $1500 for the most awful or ordinary bag/pants/shoes i've ever seen?)...

[captured_serenit...]

i used to but now, i can't afford it..sighs...well really to lazy to go shopping...

[177emories]

its sad to admit but i'm ALL about the labels. oh oh i wnated those gucci's too but the green and red strips didn't match anything, if we';re talking about the same shoes... and when i say i'm all about labels its not like baby phat, its like burberry clothes...

[ZiggY]

mmm i liek designer i guess cuz i can afford it and stuff

[freeflow]

sometimes i guess

[lilnatcat]

I wear nything I like regardless of the brand, but I try not to buy famous brands often or else it'll become a bad habit for me. Can't afford too much of it!

[sw33t_rouge]

welll...what do you classify as brand name?  like would tommy hilfiger and polo jeans/ralph lauren be considered as brand name?  if so, then yes

same as her :]

[SkaironFrenzy]

More people (at least near my place) these days are going to the thrift store because in “up against the wall” the “members only” jackets are like $40 there while a thrift store like salvation army sells them for like $14… plus salvation army [or any other thrift store] has a lot of vintage stuff… it pretty cool, u just have to look hard.

[*Weird addiction*]

sometimes...im not really into them

[*SimplePlan_Luvr*]

I dont really care wat I wear as long as it cute n fit mee lol but I got alot of desiger clothes....

[shortiiex]

i find designer outfits' fabric better

[tooeffingcrazy]

Me, wearing Guccie or Verasce..I would look like a frikken tard. I don't really care about the brand. Whatever i like, i buy. But that's only if i can afford it.

[moon_child00]

Nope, I just started making my clothes. Other than that it's something that I found somewhere for a low price...I think all that stuff is really a waste of money, I used to wear it. I just thought as long as I have some clothes on that I think looks nice and doesn't cost a crap-load of money I'll be fine.

[sammi rules you]

i would if i could afford it. i have a couple knockoff designer purses.

my friend just got a juicy couture purse for her birthday..i want it..

but she's really rich. i could never afford a juicy couture purse.

saving up for a coach one though and i have a dooney and burke (sp?) that i got for christmas.

[racoons > you]

i have rich friends. there all designer. abercrombie is about as expensive as i can stretch to

[heyyfrankie]

usually! i usually will wear name brands. but if i see something that i like and it isn't a name brand, i will probably wear it as long as it looks good on me!

[kokosofly]

If its cute to me I'll wear it, whether its designer or not. I do wear designer labels, but they're not a must. My favorites are Baby Phat, Rockawear, Ecko, and DKNY. Alot of labels are wayyy too expensive, though, and sometimes overrated

[Litobabygurl88]

Nope, I buy whatever is out there and cheap

The most I would spend on a shirt is $20 or less
unless it's really really cute like some clubbing tops

other then that, I not really into the brand crap
people shouldn't judge you because of what you wear.
GAH !

[nightsong]

No.

xo, Pauline

[imenlightened]

i wear designer shoes. that's it. i really don't wear that much of designer clothes- only accessories...

[zbrittanyz]

Designer is good for really nice stuff. Things that you want to keep for a long time, like jewelery or dresses for special occasions. I don't wear designer stuff everyday, just if I'm going out somewhere nice. If I had the money I'd probably buy it all the time . Abercrombie and Hollister is basically all I can afford.

[nevernothere]

*chokes* How rich do you think I am?

[inthemudhole]

Oh hell no.
Hell, buy most of my clothes at Media Play.
Well, shirts anyway...band shirts.
Ha.

Um. The only clothes that I buy that could be close to being considered designer are the few shirts and pants I have from Hot Topic.

But in reality...that's it.

[tofuburger]

i can't afford any..annndd...would you rather wear an ugly designer outfit or a hot outfit from...hechts?...i'd rather wear the hot outfit

[d0rkbaby]

I wear some designer clothing...but it's not all based on that. If I think something's cute, I buy it. Regardless of the label, because then that would be just silly!

i 100% agree. i mean i might be wearing designer sometimes but then you should see the clothes before you see the label.

[EmmalieV]

well not really , if its cute Ill wear it plsu they dont sell real designer clothes here I wish they sold Baby Phat here though X_X

[miss l.e]

nope. im not rich enough.. :sweat:

[xxpimpjuice1227x]

hmm... i wear em sometimes.. i huv louis vuitton warm up.. suit and gucci velour set..so yea i wear em at school when i got nothin else to wear..

[Mireh]

I wear mostly Abercrombie, and cool vintage-ish stuff from my cousin.

designer as in what though? as in runway? or just brand name?

[swe3ttemptasian]

well, my most of friends are rich.. but our "clique" buy things probably as expensive as designer.. and so do i. But it's all about the quality and look.

[Angel_Cece]

yes i do. all the time. but i dont dress to impress. i dress because thats my style

[super_grover08]

i mostly wear louis vuitton, burberry, vondutch,and armani

[jenika]

i wear designer but i just buy whatever i think is cute regardless of the designers or whateverr

[synthase]

no comment

[AnnahhbeL]

sometimes.

[Gypsy Eyes]

I have some designer clothing, a few sweaters, bags and pairs of shoes by marc jacobs, shirts by LaROK, jeans by citizens for humanity and antik denim and a versace dress.

Dressing in all designer is absurd though.

Oh by the way, the real baby phat clothing is designer. Not the dumb tee shirts and sweatpants. Their couture collection is beautiful.

[*Zatanna*]

NO. In fact, I'm generic girl pretty much all the way except for some shoes. Even then, I think the most expensive I have ever gone is Steve Madden.

I was reading through this thread though - damn, are all your parents wealthy or something? I was lucky to get a pair of Levi's growing up.

[voguelove]

the most costly clothes i have would be..either guess, hollister, bebe, or abercrombie. im more of a layer my clothes/runway person so vintage stores down in lawrence, ks are absolutely amazing. you can get marc jacob look a like dresses/ shoes for only $1. yes..one dollar.

[Gypsy Eyes]

^yeah but they aren't anywhere near the quality or fit of real ones

[HappyHeart]

I would but some of they're so pricey! Only some of them are really pretty though. I prefer cheaper clothes.

[lilith]

heck naw.. not all at least hehe

[Jinny]

Ehh, I wear A&F, HCo, and AE clothes. But I don't wear stuff like Juicy Couture, Burberry, or LV. I own a few bags from Coach though?

[breakingdawn]

Kindof.

I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren and Lacoste and BCBG and stuff like that, but not everything.

[Gypsy Eyes]

Ehh, I wear A&F, HCo, and AE clothes. But I don't wear stuff like Juicy Couture, Burberry, or LV. I own a few bags from Coach though?

A&F, HCo and AE are not designers and Coach is just barely.

[angelrevelation]

I don't wear ALL designer labels at the same time... It's tacky, like you're trying too hard, or that you're gloating.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

i wear "designer" stuff like abercrombie, puma, ralph lauren [but not that ridiculous priced stuff] if that counts.

but real designer? i have some designer jeans [seven for all mankind, citizens] and does a kenneth cole purse count? that's about it.
oooh and my ferragamo bag which was a gift.

[Just_Dream]

Um.. sometimes? Lesseee.. I wear designer frames (eye glasses)? Does that count? lol :P

Hm... What would be considered designer? Ew no, A&F is not designer. Does Rock and Republic, True Religion, and 7 for all Mankind denim count as designer? Because I usually wear those.

I have some stuff from Guess and they're considerd designer, becuase of Marciano.

Aside from that, all my other clothes are from Express and some Abercrombie... -_-

[*Girthy*]

sevens, r&r ect. = contemporary designer.

[alysaphobia]

I don't wear designer all the time.
I do mix a designer item with ordinary clothes... but I don't frequently go out dressed from head to toe designer.

[mytangerine]

volcom; hurley; roxy; element; quicksilver; hollister; ae; a&f ONCE in a while; california vintage; vans; urban outfitters; blahblahblah etc. the list goes on. volcom is probably my favorite with design stuff; like their logos & graphics on hoodies & shirts are always interesting. same with element; their tshirts rocck.

[AimeeLynn]

Most of the time but I really don't care as long as it looks good.

[NYCin2009]

I wear some designer clothing...but it's not all based on that. If I think something's cute, I buy it. Regardless of the label, because then that would be just silly!

EXACTLY.

people shouldn't like the clothing because of the label. I have come to learn however, that a brand loyality may be developed because people appreciate the quality of the clothing and trust that all of their stuff will be like that; thefore, they want to keep getting that stuff. I don't like it when people are designer whores or only get a certain designer label.

[YourSuperior]

If I could actually afford it, I definitely would. But most of the time I do.

[michellerrific]

A&F, AE, HCO if those count but I don't really think so.
I don't think I have anything yet. When I get a job in like 2 years I'm gonna make $ and buy my favorite Coach bag and sunglasses, Ralph Lauren and Lacoste Polo and True Religion jeans. Until then...

[FoxLucky]

Nine West
(my love)

[lovescream]

Like all of my tops are designer brand, except a few. Iunno if my purse is one though, but it's a tokidoki design bought at LeSportsac personally. :x

[RCKstarh]

usually i do but if i see something really cute then i wouldn't care less if it was designer or not

[LisaM2007]

Meh cant afford it but im happy with my Rver Island clothes!

[$$$ soul]

volcom; hurley; roxy; element; quicksilver; hollister; ae; a&f ONCE in a while; california vintage; vans; urban outfitters; blahblahblah etc. the list goes on. volcom is probably my favorite with design stuff; like their logos & graphics on hoodies & shirts are always interesting. same with element; their tshirts rocck.

Those aren't designers...

L.A.M.B, Coach, Nine West, Burberry, Marc Jacobs, Steve Madden, some other designers from Asia, etc. But barely.

[falsetigerlimbs]

I own two dresses by Free People, and two skirts by Marc Jacobs. That's the extent of my expensive designer clothing. I mainly just own designer purses. I have a Chanel one that I've used SO much.

I only buy designer clothing if I know it's something that I will wear a lot. My style changes all the time, so it would be silly for me to spend thousands of dollars on clothing that I only wear for less than a year.

I'll just stick to BP and Urban Outfitters, thanks. ;)

[redpeony]

My college student, $15/hr job lifestyle defintely doesn't cover a completely designer wardrobe. That being said I have about 10 pairs of premium denim, one or two lacoste things, a fendi bag, gucci glasses, burberry sunglasses, a few contemporary designer pieces and that's about it until I get rich. =p

Those are nowhere near designer. That's just like...brands



I really only own designer denim, but thats mostly because I can't bring myself or guilt my parents into spending that much on clothing. Once I get rich (ie, become a gold digger ), thats when I'll go all outtttt.

yay for us golddiggers! hahahah. but seriously, once I earn enough money, I'm going to spending most of my time in all-designer clothing.

[heatherl5]

I wear everything. I really cant afford Designer clothes all the time so I just stick to the cute stuff I find, but I do wear some designer clothes.

[*MyMichelle*]

I wear it every once in a while, maybe once/twice a week.

But, I do wear my Versace sunglasses everyday. :D

[BOOGERSHAHA]

:( i can't afford clothes from jimmy choo, chanel, etc. but i have accessories like a burberry scarf and gucci sunglasses. and i have to save lots of my money for that. ooh and purses. i have the sexiest ferragamo purse and that was a gift. i'm sure perfume and makeup doesn't count because most people have something like gucci perfume and chanel mascara.

and a few pairs of contemporary denim (sevens, citizens) but nope, no $2000 dresses for me...

but my new goal? christian louboutin shoes...

[PINAYSTER]

i wear pacsun styles 4 less aeropostale american eagle outfitters and anchor blue clothing =]

[*Moderator*]

I probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Sure, I'd have one pair of victoria secret's underwear but never the whole attire.

[pinacoolada]

Eh. Not really. As long as it's cute! Also if I see something at a designer store that's 10x more expensive, and I see pretty the same thing in Marshalls or something for half-price, I'd buy the cheaper one.

[idalisa]

Well all my clothes are from H&M, Only and Vero Moda.
But i dont wear any D&G clothes or something..

[EmoEyelinerx]

I wear alot of A&E and Aero. But no, I usually dont only shop at designer lables. I get my jeans from kohls and sometimes shirts and stuff

[sweetest-emotion]

one of my life mottos: buy cheap, get cheap!!
designer clothing costs so much for a reason, you're paying for supreme craftsmanship, the best fabrics, unique design (how many A&F stores are there???), and the best fit. once you've worn a designer outfit, you'll wonder how the hell you ever got along without it! now i'm not a millionaire, but i do like to wear nice stuff like True Religion jeans, Sevens, Paige Premium denim, ella moss, BCBG, trina turk, marc by marc jacobs, and my coveted gucci platform sandals.
but i would NEVER wear all this at one time!! yeah rock the TRs, my guccis but keep the top and acessories minimum. wearing ALL designer is tacky!

[arghrawr]

^Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it can't be all those things.
Eh slim to neverrr.
I just wear what I wear.

[minioligo]

lawl i'm not rich enough for that :[

once in a while i'll wear burberry. i had a chanel wallet, haha, but i gave that to my mom. oooh, and do lucky jeans even count?

[hoshikuzu]

I sometimes do...
but it depends on the occasion.

[ClaudelGFX]

Lotto, Nike, Adidas, Fila, Classic, Gucci , Armani and many others

About the above thing, keep in mind that anything is DESIGNED by a DESIGNER :))) so ALL of them are infact DESIGNER's creations.

The one difference between designers, its whom is more famous. I for one like better my Gucci sunglasses then Armani still they basicly look the same.

[monxcheri]

designer for "going-out" clothes but not really for "at-home" clothes. gotta have variety.

mixing up brand names and non-branded logos makes a person innovative and a real fashionista.

[oooohlala]

let's just say that if i had the money to wear all top designer clothes (haute couture, and not stuff like abercrombie), i would not be online and i would be out shopping 24/7.

[jesusisthebestth...]

i think the best part about fashion is taking low end pieces and making them looking expensive...its easy to look great in dior or carmen marc volvo...but when u mix a carmen marc volvo dress with charles david platforms and a chrochet hat u picked up from target then you've mixed all elements of fashion and you haven't spent your life savings

[*SinfullySweet*]

No. I wear abercrombie, anchor blue, and hollister

[Joss-eh-lime]

Even if i could afford those designers I probably wouldn't wear all their clothes.
I just couldnt waste money like that.

[msladyliberty]

I don't make enough to wear designer! eek!

sux when I don't have a mommy around to buy it for me

[TheSpoon]

no. lol

[heyohereiam]

Man, I can't afford designer. I spend money so easily... The only designer thing I have is Chanel eyeliner. It cost like £18... for a stick of black eyeliner. But it's good eyeliner
