Designer Clothing, is it worth it?

its quite simple.. people buy what they can afford.. we all have limits and that is how we choose what we buy.. you dont buy armani if its going to make you broke for a month, but just because you do buy it it doesn't make you a jerk like some people have said in this thread. clothes dont make the man, the way you act does weither you are in an armani shirt or not.

I think a lot of people see people in designer stuff and right away think.. he/she is a asshole.. thats not fairness, those kind of comments are based on either jealousy or stupidness..

I feel pretty much the same way.

I think the thing that needs to be taken into consideration is the people that buy $4000 suits make thousands upon thousands of dollars a day. They have the money to spend on these kind of things and they do so.
The thing I think that blows most of us away about these designer labels is their price. But the prices amaze us because we don't have the kind of money that the normal Armani suit wearer has.
I never used to understand how anyone could ever spend this kind of money on a suit or whatever, until I met a friend of mine. This friend used to work at Scores. Scores is a "gentlemens club" in New York City. He used to tell me stories of people spending $25,000 a night there. I was in utter disbelief. That was until he told me about the money these people make. Wether it be day trading on the stock market or what not, but these folks are literally making hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. They have more money than they know what to do with and they go and spend it on $4000 suits and such. It's no big deal to them. Where as to us it seems like a completely outlandish idea. It's just two different worlds.

Why? The clothes suck. They feel like they're poorly made and they look hideous for the most part. Blech. They're pretty cheap, though.

Its for people who like to pretend they wear Abercrombie & Fitch, and American Eagle but don't. Yeah.

I don't buy designer clothes. I rarely buy clothes at all. So long as they last and I can fit my CD player in one of the pockets, I don't mind what I wear. I have a few clothes with brand names on them, but that's because it's a Formula One team or something like that.

If there was some clothing forum somewhere, I can imagine someone starting a thread called "Supercars, are they worth it?" If I had an eight figure salary every year I'd happily spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on, say, a Pagani, but wouldn't care for a £4000 suit. My sister, I'm pretty sure, would spend vast quantities of money on a dress and I'd think "why? It's only a dress." Depends on your priorities, I suppose.

See that corner worker waving two red flags? That means "Intensive waste of money, time and resources!"

Want to look out-of-style in 6 months? Then spend a lot of money on clothing. Geez, do you buy a car every 6 months because it's newer than the competitor's brand of automobile (M5Power, notwithstanding)?

Ahahahaha and what's sad is styles repeat themselves every couple of years. I assume that with all of the drugs going around these days being so potent, people just forget that - HOLY ****ING ****, THIS HAS BEEN DONE 1,000 ****ING TIMES BEFORE - But who cares, eh?
