What's your favorite clothing brand?

I don't gravitate towards any brands in particular but I have some Florsheim shoes like these (except in brown) and I love them. I'd be only too happy to own another pair.

I don't give two lights about what brand of clothing I wear. Comfy, loose jeans worn with a belt and any shirt will do me.
However with shoes I have a tendency to get Chucks or Reeboks.

jeans + t shirt

I'm not one to promote certain brands by wearing items with huge logos or names on them, that's for damn sure. And I generally buy what I think looks good and/or looks good on me, regardless of brand.

That said, over the years I've liked jeans from Express Men (aka Structure for you old peeps like me), but lately they've had a lot with fake folds, holes, annoying logos and what not. I like the more subtle and basic ones. Over the past 10-15 years I've also liked their shirts, again the more subtle and non-douchey ones. I also discovered this store in Vancouver BC called RW & Co that really caught my attention the first time I went. Great colors not often seen at other stores, great detail, the clothes are relatively conservative but with the right amount of non-traditional detail that they appeal to me. I always look forward to a visit to Vancouver so I can hop in the store. Prices are reasonable too. The only problem is that their jeans (and probably all pants) don't offer different lengths, they are only differentiated by waist size. This is a big problem for me, as I'm tall and so all the pants are too short.

day to day stuff i wear is just high street clothing, like river island, republic, new look, USC clothing

never wore brands ... i just go for the cool T-shirt.

I stay away from brands on the whole. D&C, Prada etc are just different ways of spelling 'twat'.

The only time i consider a brand is K-Swiss for footwear but thats because I do actually like the way they look, though I could care less about the brand.

I'd rather spend thousands on better things than my clothes. If you're buying a brand purely for the label, then it's yet another shallow way of trying to get people to like you for completely the wrong reasons.

If it looks good, buy it and wear it, but forget the brand.

People who buy boring clothes from those prep stores really need to remember that.

While I do like my skate-brand names, I don't buy it purely for the name. I make sure that the clothes fit and look good. Bright colors is pretty much a must.

I don't really have any favourites and am usually too poor to buy good brands anyway, but if I have a choice I like to buy Australian owned.

Ah clothes brands! I'd have to say that at least 90% (probably more) of my wardrobe was previously owned. I shop at thrift stores and garage sales and get hand-me-downs from my friends who have jobs (woo!) and who decide to buy an entire new wardrobe for college (i know, who does that!) As far as brands, i dont think i could tell you the brand of anything I own. If i do happen to buy something at a conventional store, i generally avoid wearing it because it doesn't go with anything (including my personallity) or to avoid looking like a wannabe (which, i am sooo not). I'd make my own clothes before i resorted to shopping at the nearest mall (which, unfourtunatly, is very much devoid of cute botiques and hippy stores

)
