Yes there have been some loud clothes from the other designers.

Tommy and Nuatica are the worst. 5- 10 years ago they went after the ghetto crowd with large clothes, bright colors and HUGE labels.

Polo has been a staple of the casual set for decades. I'm not a fan of the newer Polos with the GIANT horse but most of their stuff is pretty subtle.

Fubu is still around? Maybe because I am no longer in 7th grade but I haven't seen anybody flossin' their Fubu lately.

My wife got on the EH bandwagon early. So I have a bunch of that stuff. Even she is tired of it now that the convenience store is full of it

But I don't have a problem with it. I like the old school tattoo designs

They should have added the wool cap in summertime

I am not really fashion conscious, but a couple of things I see on a regular basis really bother me, and I am not sure why.

The guys wearing their sisters pants.
The guys who wear pants that are sagging (below their ass cheeks) with a fucking belt on.

Thats a ghetto favorite. The cops brought a prisoner into the Er dressed like that and he couldnt pull his pants up for obvious reasons and the cops wouldnt pull them up either. made me LOL told him if he had his pants pulled up he could have ran better and may have gotten away

I want to go up to them and inform them that if they picked their pants up or wore pants that fit them they wouldn't have to "walk like that"

Hmmm... me either, that wasn't my exact point, merely that everyone said they would close shop in a couple years... probably a bad example.

The thing is that lots of people spend top dollar for exclusive or designer clothes, cars, bikes, etc... I buy whatever catches my eye at the time. I personally don't like the EH look because of the large logos. it's the same reason I don't buy Coogi. I buy clothes for fit and the way it looks on me. Almost all of my jeans are either Lucky or Express for this reason.

Getting back to Polo... if the only difference between a Polo polo and an Aeropostal (for example) polo is the logo, why spend 2-3x as much? Could it be the prestige of wearing Polo? Are you really going to argue that Polo brand clothes are that much better than the less expensive brands? Isn't it a fact that all of these clothes are, for the most part, made in some sweatshop in a third world country? I still maintain that the main reason for wearing designer clothing is ''prestige" and not "quality".

I've had Guess jeans that fell apart after a few washes and crappy Old Navy jeans that refuse to die! If you really are olny concerned with "quality" and "wear", go to Walmart and buy some Dickies jeans...they could conceivably BURY you in them if you live to be 80!!!

Agreed, I've never understood that. From what I've seen, it's usually white guys who want to appear street-wise.

Either that, or maybe they're self-conscious about hair loss, and are too wimpy to shave it off.

Uh..........man card revoked. If a girl's got a nice body, what's the problem?

Skinny jeans is a relatively new term that only refers to men's "emo" jeans anyway, as far as I know, so it doesn't apply to women. Women's jeans that are tight are not called "skinny jeans", they're just........normal.

What's terrible are man's jeans on a girl. They make her look like she's got diaper butt. Totally unflattering.

Gotta agree with this. If you walk around with someone else's brand or name blazoned across your chest on a T-Shirt you paid $35 for you are most definitely a tool. Really, who the fuck pays that much for shirts to advertise for someone else and not get any cut of the profit? .Abercrombie fanboys, Ed Hardy fan boys...whatever, they're all the same.

It reminds me of when I was in 6th grade and you just weren't fucking cool if you didn't have some Girbaud jeans. Seriously, you absolutely could not be in with the "popular" crowd if you didn't have these $60-80 jeans...in 6th fucking grade. How did they know if you were rockin Girbaud or not? They had a little white tag on the dick to make sure everyone knew you got fucking ripped off on some jeans.
