brands that are overrated/underrated Options

[sprezzatura]

List some brands that are overrated.
Name some that are underrated too.

The only one I can think of for overrated is Hollister, the price and the quality (I mean the style and the frabric quality) don't balance.
The price is too expensive, and most shirts are really thin (not the ones for layering), also some styles are really ugly.

However, there are some good clothes from Hollister.

For underrated, I can't think of any right now.


Edit: I searched but can't find any matching results.

Overrated:
A|X Armani Exchange. (Okay, I confess, I have one shirt from there. But it cost me $32. And it's a t-shirt. I wouldn't pay over $20 for a t-shirt, now that I think about it.)
Louis Vuitton. (They have excellent suitcases and some great handbags, I'll grant you that, but the brown monograms are seriously starting to piss me off.)
Coach. (I have one Coach bag that I never use. It looks like a five year-old drew on it. I can get way cuter bags for way less than $95.)
Burberry. (Now we all know plaid bags are SO worth $800.)
bebe. (Again, I would never pay $38 for a skimpy tank top that says 'bebe' on it.)
FCUK. (Ohemgee, it's the F-WORD. Oh haha, it's not! Might as well write the f-word on your shirt. Now THAT'S how you piss people off.)
Dooney and Bourke. (Wow, I would so pay $150 for a fugly LV-knockoff.)
Juicy Couture. (I refuse to pay $300 for a damn tracksuit.)

Underrated:
Old Navy jeans. (They're only $20 to $35, and they last forever. I mean, FOREVER.)
J. Crew (It is moderately expensive, but you can find some great stuff there.)
Target. (For real, you can get cheap stuff there, and it lasts FOREVER.)
Gucci. (Yes, it's expensive as hell, but the quality is unsurpassed. If you've got the money, buy it!)
Zara. (It's slightly expensive in the US, but they have the most awesome clothes!)
Express. (Another fairly expensive store, but again, really great clothes. People should wear Express more.)
