i think aero. is overated the clothes there arnt even that great looking (i shop there any way though), but it is good if u dont have alot of cash and want a preppy look. i personaly like a&f and hollister and ae, cause its just so .... so .... (cant think of the word). by the way have u guyz noticed that ever since ppl have been figuring out that hollister is owned by a&f that theyre prices have gone up

I think converse is original thought for unoriginal thinkers.
Also PacSun. |

^ you've got to be kidding me.
Overrated? Most name brands. AF, hollister, AE, all of those. Okay, even the hot topic brands are overrated. Underrated? Walmart jeans. Seriously, jeans are jeans are jeans. Nobody cares all that much, and they tend to hold up more than name brand. |

I think Roxy(QuikSilver) is highly overrated among the girls my age.
I think their products are quite nice, but they don't cost that much and it gets boring when the whole street of girls are wearing products from Roxy. |

I'm getting sick and tired of people losing their minds and getting wet over LaCoste. I'm down with the Polo originator: Ralph Lauren.

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.) |

Eh..I don't pay attention to brands. I just shop wherever & pick out what I like if it isn't too expensive.

Underrated: Citizens of Humanity jeans. I ask people if they've heard of them, but they haven't.
 And they know of 7 For All Mankind. Citizens are way cuter and people always think they're just regular jeans. They're not! They fit so nicely.. I wish I could've bought the pair I tried one.. *sigh*
