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.

Pffft... someone said $200 for a pair of sunglasses? No f**king way. No pair of sunglasses in existence is worth more than $20, I don't care how "cute" they look.

$15 band shirts and some decent jeans. Hanes undergarments (socks, boxers, t-shirts). Chuck Taylor shoes... before they became so overpriced. Wal-Mart shoes/flip-flops. (Can't beat $5 flip-flops that last for a whole summer.)

Hot Topic is a good place to go for the emo-style clothing. I don't like all the chains and baggy stuff, but the tight button up shirts are nice and only like $20 or something like that. The studded belts are expensive, but fashionable. They also have some bad-ass ties. Thin, skull + bones, hot pink, checkered... bunch of neat stuff. I guess I could clothe myself in Hot Topic stuff for any normal occassion, really.

I don't see too many people wearing 323k13L brand clothing. I have a hoodie that I wear when it's cold, but I've not seen anyone else in the area wearing it. It must be a west coast thing. I like it a lot. Simplistic and very geometric.

Over-rated: Anytime you pay more than a speeding ticket for an accessory.
Under-rated: Generic clothing that looks just as good, but for 1/3 the price.
