Do you buy expensive clothes?

My stuff is ridiculously expensive and some of it is custom made to order. But you can't go cheap when it comes to alternative, real metal, real spikes, and so many chains you walk like the ghost of Marley.

Those pants are kick ***, but I'm sure I wouldn't go anywhere near them once I'm shown the price tag. :P

A state of mind.

So, in other words, absolutely nothing. :P

If you're buying $500 jeans, I think it's almost a verifiable fact that you're quite simply not getting what you're paying for. The biggest determinant of whether or not something more expensive is a good buy is whether the extra money it costs provides an extra amount of benefit.

Well, then tell me, what does one get out of a pair of $500 jeans that one does not get from a cheaper pair?

(other than a lighter wallet and the knowledge that you just bought a $500 pair of jeans, that is)

A state of mind.

No, that's an illusion a price tag put in your mind.

Thus, a state of mind? :?

I'm actually against expensevie clothes, all I wear are band t-shirts and any pair of black jeans that fits, that's pretty much my entire wardrove, and I rarely spend more than $10 on shirts and $20 on pants.black_cat19

you seem like someone who is against any kind of conformity.. being different for the sake of being different. Argh... everybody cares about clothes, but not me because I'm a non-conformist. I'd say so considering I've never heard of any of your "top ten bands" in your signature.

Not really, a lot of things we do or buy is for out state of mind.

Why would someone buy a Corvette over a Civic? More than likley so they can drive fast, or have a good looking car. That would be for a state of mind. I somehow doubt it's so the owner can save 5 seconds when buying diapers for his newborn baby.

So you're basically saying you know me better than myself.

:lol: I think my mom stopped influencing me when I turned 13. Hehe I get called it all, Emo, Goth, Final Fantasy Fanboy (my favorite) people come up to me and sa 'Is it Halloween?' it's good fun.

[QUOTE="thisguy51"]Whoever is complimenting your $20 pants knows nothing about fashion. Let me guess. You buy Dickies. All of Kohls stuff is generic and ugly in my opinion. They got those shirts with stupid sayings like "I live in my own world". I like my stuff to be a little more original and top quality but hey, it's your money and you can spend it anyway you like. foxhound_fox

here here! they buy it just cuz everyone else buys it, its stupid. like abercrombie and hollister r crap imo. i hate the preppy look.

Which isn't exactly a good thing. If someone buys $500 jeans because that person thinks they're cool because they bought $500 jeans, that means that person probably needs something more fulfilling in life.

Clothes are fashionable basically because people say so. That's about all there is to it.

i know right! it annoys the crap out of me.

Other than well-made shoes with proper insoles for work I hardly spend any money on clothes.foxhound_fox

Not really... Way to read a book by it's cover. :roll:

I'm against expensive clothes because I think it's stupid to spend so much money on clothes, as long as I'm comfortable wearing them who cares, all clothes do exactly the same thing, no matter if they're expensive or not, it's not like you're getting added features or more functionality out of those $500 jeans you just bought, they're still just clothes. And if you've never heard any of the bands in my sig, it's either because you only listen to the mainstream or you listen to other genres, many of the bands in my sig are very well known to metalheads, it's not like they're a secret or anything, and I like them better than the mainstream simply because I think they have better musicians who make better music, why is that so wrong?

I wouldn't think I'm cool because I bought $500 pair of jeans. Do you think people walk around and say 'Hey, My jeans cost $500? And not all fasion conscious jeans don't cost $500.

They don't and anyone who would is outside of the demographic I'm talking about.

Like I said, people are willing to spend more on something that others would find ridiculous

I agree. All the guys at my school wear preppy stuff and I hate the stuff. And I would wear Halo, shirts, The Simpsons shirts, etc. just to piss them off. lol For the first day of school, I'm gonna wear my Joker t-shirt and wear my Star Wars backpack! :lol:

Normal cloths are boooring, pffft. I'll use levi jeans for painting the house, and George t-shirts from Asda? That's dish cloths.TristanShand

Okay, then I think out of the ordinary clothes are boring.

You knows you love it really. I bet underneath those Caterpillar's lies some black leather bondage underpants, with a picture of a rabit on the front and Uranus on the back. Admit it.

Disregard the rabbit and leather bondage blackness, I suppose that pair of underwear is pretty darn cool.

Well, I shop at Express, Guess, A & F, D & G, Banana Republic, Ruhel, Buckle and Diesel.

I'll let you guys be the judge of what I think about the whole fashion thing.

I buy $20 band shirts and $30 pants, so not really.Bloodaxe726

same here.

I don't like spending a lot of money on clothes, but they're super comfortable and they look really nice. I have a bunch of band tees ATM but I'm trying to switch my style to something that looks better and is more "fashionable."

I have a $15 shirt on ATM, and a reasonably comfortable $15 pair of cargo shorts.

$300 jeans is a bit too much even for me, it's not worth it for what you get. Sometimes they got a nice custom pattern and a careful mixture of colours on them which makes them stand well out of normal Joe Avarage jeans, but I've seen custom jeans that can do just as good a job for much, much less. Looking online I can see that some jeans reaching as high as $500 and they're just a boring pair of bland blue assed jeans! No way, if I pay that much for some trousers, I want them to be jet black, with pure red rubies etched along the side, going all the way down from the hip to ankle. Then sprinkle a few more below the pockets and slap a cool logo on the back right. Now were talking!

Everything of mine (except T-shirts) cost about $75 (using the british pounds to dollars converter). Ok i'm being hipcritical, i've got one which cost me $302 which is the most i've ever paid, but that's custom made from black denim with well placed silver studs, and a full silver chain linking through small silver skulls, going from side pocket to back pocket. That's the kind of thing i'll expect for that type of money... I know my personal taste is not for everyone but you should be getting something equivalent.

In the UK i think the cheapest you can get resnoble pants is $40, good tshirts cost about $40+ aswell and nice shoes are minimum $60 for canvas and $90 for leather.

I'm much rather buy one really nice pair of pants than waste my money at primark on 10 pairs that'll be destroyed in a few months, i like my stuff to last. The only thing that i wouldn't spend more on per item i had the cash are shoes coz they're either formal or terrible trainers when you look above the $120 point.

Well someone just made a thread on how much you've spent on clothes at one time, and I was surprised at how many people buy ridiculously priced crap. I buy cheap Khol's clothes, and the fun part is that I get compliments all time on my $20 pants. musicaz70

Yeah, its true. The most I am willing to spend on a piece of clothing is 50 Euro. And that in itself is alot for one piece of clothing. I buy casual, comfortable clothing, not like those chavs who wear pyjamas, mind you, just stuff like Jeans, simple T-Shirts, etc.

I hate people who go all out on clothing. I'm quite utilitarian about it.

About £40 for a pair of jeans and £20 for a shirt, usually.
