Oh good.
You finally dropped it.
It's not a waste for some people.
Some people can afford it.

fit in jeans, doesn't mean how the jeans fit you..

@AugustRain: well so what are saying? You never get jeans that fit well for a low price? Lol.

[quote=fradddd]@idunliku: but like I said the looks are subjective. I, for one, can never tell the difference between $20 and $200 jeans. And that's just one example. Most people can look really, really good in casual clothes for a normal budget without spending hundreds of dollars. I'm just saying that you could spend money on something more practical rather than simple branding.
But to each his own...

EDIT: Also, $200 jeans will not make you look 10 times better than $200 jeans. They probably won't make you look significantly better at all. That's another reason that you don't get what you pay for with clothes.[/quote]
trust me, if you ever had couple hundred dollar jeans, you can tell there's a huge difference in terms of the material quality and the cut, sewing patterns etc.. i'll give you one example of really expensive brand of jeans that a lot of teens wear here in nyc, they're called true religion, and depending on the pair of jeans, they can go from $200~$600 for a pair of jeans, but for this particular brand, it's not just that it's handmade, and the material. brands being made in america also can affect the price by a lot, since they have to pay the workers minimum wage, aside from other brands made in china or other countries, & majority of designer products aren't like target shirts, they're handmade

[quote=SomeJello]But you can get the same general cut for any kind of clothes[/quote]

No you can't. o.o
It's designed better.
Hence the high price tag.

[quote=SomeJello]I dunno man, @fradddd has a point. If you're attractive already than you can buy poverty clothes and still look better than someone who spends hundreds of dollhairs on designer stuff[/quote]

Being attractive has nothing to do with clothes looking good on you.
She's talking about the cut of actual item.
And how they fit. o.o

[quote=fradddd]@AugustRain: the things is I've seen jeans for way less than $100 last for a decade too. And pls, can you honestly tell from glancing at someone's jeans if they're "designer" or not? Maybe it's just cause I'm a straight guy. So attention ladies, guys shouldn't notice if your jeans are designer or not.[/quote]

...I never said anything about being able recognize if they're designer or not. people buy premium denim for a nicer fit, cut, and quality.

@AugustRain @fradddd:
really what it comes down to is how big your budget is and what you prioritize in clothing.. what you may not see in $200 jeans may be just you, but there is certainly a group of people and a market for them
it's just subjective, there's no arguing it because then it'll just come down to what people choose to spend money on lmao

designer/premium denim jeans do look infinitely better. the fit and cut is a lot more flattering, compared to "cheap" jeans. most importantly, ppl buy for the quality in premium denim, not necessarily the brand name. i have pairs of $$$ jeans that lasted for almost a decade, and they still look fab.

i do understand where you're coming from, how it's hard for [i]most[/i] ppl to justify spending over $100 on jeans when they can buy it for cheaper. but imo, they're worth it.

@SomeJello: dude, I have the same mindset as you a lot of times.
Yeah actually it's hard to avoid buying jeans for ~$50 but still.

@fradddd: well yeah.. most people buy clothes to look nice? if you buy clothes solely for quality and ignore the whole fashion aspect, then that's just another lifestyle altogether. clothes aren't meant to be entirely practical lmao

Just go to uniqlo and spend however much you want for simple and nice-looking stuff for super cheap.

@idunliku @Keywhees
Clothes have a significantly low price point where if you were to buy more expensive clothing, you wouldn't get any more practicality or durability or function out of it. I highly doubt a $15 t-shirt is going to last longer than a $70 one. Of course, with clothes that are normally expensive, like suits and tuxedos and such that are made with premium materials and custom fitted, the clothing might feel better or look higher quality or something, but that's subjective.

In other words, you are only paying for brand or design when you pay a lot of money for clothes.

[quote=idunliku]elaborate pls[/quote]

Wanting to know too ..

RE: TOPIC: Idk .. My parents just give me money.
Never thought much about it.

[quote=fradddd][b]Clothes are one of the few things where you do not get what you pay for.[/b][/quote]
elaborate pls

As a 17 year old non-hipster guy, I'm not really sure what a good price for anything is. So I usually just buy what I need at stores like Kohl's. I know that stuff is more expensive at the mall. And I know that stuff is often cheaper (and of greater variety) online.

For example, what I'm wearing right now:
Pink Floyd shirt - $15 on Amazon
Pants - $20 at Kohl's

So yeah I don't get expensive clothes and I don't see the point in getting expensive clothes when they look the same.
[b]Clothes are one of the few things where you do not get what you pay for.[/b]

depends really.. i used to go for all these name brands in pacsun or f21 but more recently i've been thrift shopping in brooklyn and have been finding great things.
generally it was around i'd say $90 bucks a week or so but now after i've been thrifting it's dropped to like $40, and with nicer clothes too <3
also hi panda

don't really got a budget, just buy what i like.
t-shirts;most of my tee's are streetwear brands, so they're 30-50$
hoodies;again, streetwear brands they can go for like 60~120
pants;usually buy abercrombie or hollister cargos/jeans, so around 60
shoes; i kinda consider myself a sneakerhead, so my budget for sneakers vary a lot, but the most i've spend on a pair was $250, a pair of flyknits.
jackets; prob a northface, for like 300~400
belts; i have a fendi belt rn, i got it for ~$400, planning to get a LV belt soon for 490
wallets;(dk if this is really considered clothing) a lv wallet, for $415
watches; my most expensive one, is a burberry watch for $1.2k but my dad's friend gave it to me as a gift
im still a teen btw lmfao

I don't have one, most of the clothes I buy last for a long while anyway

@cool123ter: That's why it's clear from the beginning. I'm going around in loops so you can understand that

@East: Obviously if you like the item you will pay for it. You just don't like it enough for the price tag. Your initial statement was vague and i asked for clarification but w/e i guess thats too hard for you.

@cool123ter: No one mentioned a specific price because it was an example....lol. "If you like the item you will pay for it" That is not absolute. I may really like an item, but not willing to pay the price. Again, it depends if I like the item ENOUGH to pay a price that I don't think it's worth. I feel like I'm just repeating myself over and over again.

for myself, like under a hundred... per season.
i spend too much on siblings, gosh dressing up boys is easier than picking out skirts that rn't too long/short..

[quote=East]@cool123ter: Um no. I am willing to pay for an item that I don't think is worth the price if i really like it. It doesn't mean I want to pay that specific price.[/quote]

Thats the same thing, If you like the item you will pay for it. Noone mentioned a specific price, you pay what you want in your opinion if its not worth it then i guess its not.

Limit for Tshirts is $10
Limit for jeans: $25
Limit for expensive jackets: Priceless

@cool123ter: Um no. I am willing to pay for an item that I don't think is worth the price if i really like it. It doesn't mean I want to pay that specific price.

@AugustRain: With a statement saying "i dont buy whats not worth it" how am i to know. I asked her how that makes sense if all that is based on opinions. To which she already replied. Doesn't make any sense to leave such a vague answer.

[quote=cool123ter]@East: Then you should have said I pay what I want to pay. There are many things that are worth alot more to others.[/quote]

well she was talking about herself, right.

@East: Then you should have said I pay what I want to pay. There are many things that are worth alot more to others.

@cool123ter: Well duh. I make my own judgement.

[quote=East]I don't buy what's not worth the price. That standard really depends on how much I like the item or not.[/quote]

And how do you know its not worth the price, thats just opinion.

Originally, I would buy wateva clothes I thought would look good on me without thinking too much about the price...
Then I became more conscious of my piggy bank and began to buy my clothes as cheap as I could find...
But after a while of doing this, I found that the quality of the clothing really did matter to me in the end...
So as of now, it's fair to say I pair more attention to quality rather than the price..but that doesn't mean I'm willing to pay an absurd amount of money for my clothes (maybe $70+ for somethin like jeans ).
Oh yeah I live in Oz so our prices r pretty jacked up compared to u guys in the U.S (they get away with selling Levis for $100+ )

$25 for shirts
$15 for t-shirts
$20 for jeans
$15 for shorts
$30 for jackets, sweaters, etc
$60 for regular shoes and $80 for athletic shoes

quality > quantity for clothes
always

I generally spend between $15-$40 per pair of jeans. And this is on a discount after normally using some sort of coupon
or taking advantage of some sort of sale (otherwise they would probably cost me more like $25-$60).

For tops, around $15 normally. I don't spend more than that unless I really like the top. I'm not really a shirt person I guess.

For shoes, $20-$45. I never buy shoes without a coupon or discount sale.

$15 skirts
$15 shorts

In reality, I get most of these things even cheaper because since I'm sort of an addict shopper; I'm always paying attention
to sales and coupons and stuff so I always get good deals.

[quote=CatThinkof1]mine are like 15[/quote]

Nike Elites hypebeast?

[quote=East]I don't buy what's not worth the price. That standard really depends on how much I like the item or not.[/quote]
Basically...

$10 for t-shirts, some exceptions
$20 for flannel or button up shirts
$30 for jeans
$20/30 for sweaters
$70 for shoes, unless they're boots or something I'll go up to $120
My mom still buys my boxers and socks >_<
Overall I'm pretty cheap when it comes to shopping and I normally only shop for new clothes every summer unless something fades or tears.

@CatThinkof1: Oh I'm poor then, sorry.

I won't spend more than
- $20 on a T-shirt
- $50 on a shirt
- $40 on pants (usually buy my pants in pairs, like 2 for $70 deals)
- $160 on shoes (usually for sports)
- $80 on sneakers
- $20 on shorts
Most are pretty low because I don't spend my own money so I try to keep it as low as possible. Once I get a job ima be so fresh on my momma

$400 a month

Clothing budget? I don't buy clothing often enough to set a specific budget just for clothes lol. If I have to buy clothes, I just try to keep it as low as possible. I stopped caring about name brands without even realizing it. So it can be a brand I've never heard of in my life, but if I like the way it looks, that's fine for me. To me clothing is a low priority as far as things to buy.

I rarely ever shop for clothes.

$60 for pants.
$60 for shorts cuz Chubbies are expensive.
$85 for shoes
$100 for sneakers
$50 for shirts
I buy really expensive socks that are like $4 a pair.

I don't buy what's not worth the price. That standard really depends on how much I like the item or not.

I tend to believe quality clothing is worth it, so I spend a considerable amount of money on it.. I stray away from designer clothing, however

I think the most expensive I'll go is Gant products, rly

But for shoes.. I'm willing to spend upwards of 300 for a nice pair of loafers, oxfords, boots, etc.

Premium outlets are the way to go, imo

great prices for great products

[quote=fun2killu]there isn't, i buy what i like[/quote]

This. Old Navy Black/White plain crewneck tees and cheap ass jeans/khakis all day err'day.
