To ask who can afford designer clothes

[Summerlonggone]

Just gone to the cafe in a large department store
Who can afford the clothes I just walked past?
£1600 for an anorak? Who buys this stuff ?!

People with lots of money!

Dh does. Its shit quality. He pays £120 for a polo top and i think the quality is dreadful.

He insists on liking this type of material (hugo boss) but i personally think if i purchased a primark top and printed hugo boss on it then he wouldnt notice the difference

I work with teenagers. They're all more expensively dressed than me. It's not a wealthy area 🤷‍♀️

I can afford to but I don’t. I’m quite tight really!

The same people on the thread wanting to choose Eton vs Harrow🤣🤣

People with lots of money (or lots of debt). Occasionally people who save up for a one off item.

The clothes aren’t even that nice ( I’m not bitter!)
I’ve seen nicer clothes in New Look
Just can’t believe folk would spend so much on a jacket or jumper !

People with lots of money, but I don't know many who actually want to.

I go to Hobbs for posh clothes and White Stuff for the everyday. It makes me laugh when tops and T-shirt’s in designer clothes are dry clean only. How much must the dry cleaning bills be?! I can only wear a top or dress that covers my armpits once before it needs a wash.

I could possibly afford to as a one piece a year thing but i just wouldn't feel comfortable im so messy id spill straight away its taken me years to take the plunge and buy uggs!

Tkmaxx is for this sort of thing, cheap and some designer stuff. I would never pay top dollar for clothes, you can get lovely things for a mere fraction of the price. I like a bargain me!

I think saying that designer clothes are bad quality it a sweeping over generalisation. I buy for quality, but it very much depends on brand/price. Lower cost entry level designer items from diffusion ranges ie polo ralph lauren, hugo boss orange etc are quite often very bad value.

White Stuff for the everyday

People who work hard, earn good money, like to buy quality over quantity, don't spend a lot on other things.....oh, that would be me then!!

I know someone who only wears designer clothes. He's a teacher so not loaded but he buys a couple of choice pieces each year and has what I think is referred to as a capsule wardrobe. He looks after it all meticulously and has to get everything dry cleaned etc. Seems a right faff to me but he enjoys it.
