Thread: How much do clothing/fashion trends affect you?

  1. #1

    Default How much do clothing/fashion trends affect you?

    This is a poll that asks how much you pay attention to current "in" clothing styles and how much you will pay for a label. There are specific poll options for men and women.

    I hate trends myself. I go out of my way to pick something no one else is likely to wear, but what looks good, so I voted Option 2.

    I also avoid any clothes with self-advertising on it. I hate nothing more than shirts with nothing but logos.

    I wear what looks good. If the popular thing is "Scene" or "Stereotypical Emo Kid" right now, then no I do not follow anything of that kind.

    Where's the option for "I don't spend anything on clothes, and they are just fine"? Either way, I wouldn't spend that much money on a label. I could just as easily find the same exact shirt (or incredibly similar), buy it for three dollars (not from fences and the black market, mind you), and no one would ever know.

    The shirt itself is fifty cents in worth at most.

    The tag that comes with it costs three cents, yet generates ALL of the income.

    Where's the option for "I wear what's comfortable?"

    What do I care what's popular these days? It's not like if I wear big name clothing, suddenly people I never met before will wanna be my friends, so there's no reason to wear stuff like that.

    I wear what's comfortable, which is also usually dirt cheap, or what *I* think looks good on me. However I seem to have no sense of aesthetics. Oh well.

    I just wear what I think is cute! Normally I go in shops and it all looks like crap (so then I just buy stuff from threadless =P) At the moment I like my swedish "I'm From Barcelona" shirt whooo. I like how I don't see anyone wearing what I wear, well my shirts anyway.

    Maybe skater trends effect me a little because I like some of that sort of style, but umm I just wear what I like and is colourful and cute and fun really. ^^

    Where's an option for "Who cares what everyone else is wearing"? But anyway clothes don't make the person wearing them. Labels now are just passing fads that won't be remembered in 2 months anyway so what's the point of buying expensive stuff that you're not even going to wear? One of my friends even has 30 pairs of shoes when I only ever seen him were 2 pairs. This is such a massive amount of money being wasted that could go to better things. Sometimes I wish I didn't even live in America which is one of the biggest fad following countries.

    I hear about it in school, it normally becomes another thing to annoy me. I like what I like, not what celebrities like, though it's not impossible for me to like what's in the mainstream.


    I also spend nothing on clothes and 90% of my limited wardrobe are hand-me-downs.

    I'll wear, obviously, whatever I think is good. If it happens to be what's "in" at the moment, so what? So be it. Everyone always acts like following trends is a terrible thing. I don't really get that. And even when I do buy trendy stuff, I don't go broke cause I am smart smart smart. But I dunno where you guys are shopping to get clothes that cost like 3 dollars xD

    I buy the coolest clothes that I can get for a reasonable price; because I happen to like the current trends, and so will dress in what is fashionable even if it doesn't make me particularly individual. Plus, vintage T-Shirts are about £5 if you know where to look, so they're cool and cheap.

    Exactly. xD I buy stuff I like, regardless if its trendy or not. For example, I think striped stuff is trendy lately or something, but I've adored stripes before then, and I still do.

    I only buy what I like. I don't just suddenly like something because it's in fashion. Or rather pretend to like something because it's in fashion, like most followers of fashion do. If there is anything that I own that happens to be in fashion, I prefer not to wear it until it's gone out of fashion, because I don't want to look like I'm just wearing it for that reason, like all the squares. An I certainly don't waste money on overpriced clothing.
