Would you judge some who’s clothing is mostly primark or supermarket brands

[Shopping7777]

It’s me by the way and that’s the case for my clothes

I do not notice where people's clothes come from but i do notice:

• if they are clean and smell nice
• if they are properly pressed/ironed (no shiny patches from too high heat etc)
• natural fabrics (these tend to withstand ironing better see point above)
• if they are combined in a thoughtful way
• if they fit properly
• if they are an appropriate style for the setting
• if they are well cared for (no hanging threads, missing buttons, pulled threads, bobbly-bits on wool etc etc

If you take care of these things, I think you will avoid what I assume you are concerned about....

No, I earn a decent wage/ high earner and buy from those shops too.

Mostly I’m dressed by George by ASDA or SHEIN.

if anyone judges me for that I’d think they were an utter moron

Couldn’t be bothered to spend more? Wtf?

didn’t realise there was a minimum clothing spend to salary ratio to appease judgmental people

Our clothes are mostly from H&M, Next or Tu. I only buy from anywhere else if I need something specific, such as 100% wool socks or something like that. Really splashing out for me is M&S or Cambridge Baby.

Sadly that's not true, particularly in some careers.

I have had some comments because I have worn predominantly supermarket clothes for my whole life.

Some people care, and it sucks.

Designer and Label clothes costing ten times more than Primark or supermarkets are likely to have been made in the same conditions, its all about the Label for a minority of well off people - and just as likely to be unethically made.

How on earth would anyone know? Clothes all the way up to designer labels have been made in the same factories by the same workers as Primark and supermarket brands.
I have worked with fabrics for 40 years and apart from the fabrics being mostly polyester in cheaper brands , rather than natural fibres, I assure you there is very little to distinguish between them.
Pick fast fashion that is natural fibres (cotton, viscose, blends of linen and wool ) and even an expert would not be able to tell.

My clothes too are mainly supermarket / new look / Matalan (or Matt Allen we say at work to make it sound designer) as don't like buying on line.

Just been to a family wedding ( posh barn type thing ) in a £10 charity shop maxi dress ( new with tags ).
Got loads of compliments and felt really good, so no, absolutely wouldn't judge!

How on earth would I know?
Wouldn't give a fig if I found out though. I dress from charity shops and Vinted.

I can tell if clothes are clean, fit well, are flattering and are in good repair. I cannot tell what brand they are or how expensive they are by looking.

Surely it’s the same for most people?

Ridiculous attitude. Dressing economically is a positive choice, not 'can't be bothered'.
Wasting money is not a virtue.

No, I wouldn't notice.

1. how would I know.
2. no

Why the hell would I?

I wouldn’t have a clue, I have no interest in what others wear, plenty of more important things to be interested in.

I love it when I compliment someone and ask where their clothes are from and they say Primark! It means you can get a good look without spending a fortune.

Anyone who judges, isn’t worth your attention.

I wouldn’t notice

and if they told me no I would not judge I buy clothes from supermarkets and primark myself

and I love a bargain

I generally wear tailor-made or my own sewing made clothes for work, but I also wear a lot of Primark basics.

Pure cotton long sleeve T-shirts, pure linen shirts, for example. A lot of Primark stuff is cheap polyester but I look for their cotton, linen and wool basics (they used to do cashmere!).

The more expensive so-called “high end” High Street stuff is generally made in the same sort of factories. So paying more doesn’t always guarantee ethical manufacturing.

Most of Primark is not great. But they do excellent basics in natural fibres. so, no I wouldn’t judge. I don’t notice brands and I find obviously branded stuff to be quite vulgar. The branding , that is.

I wouldn't judge in the slightest, but I absolutely do think you can tell. I don't know why people are saying they can't.

I've bought Primark items on numerous occasions and the quality and the fit is always abysmal in comparison to other places. Anything stretchy is always too thin, they go saggy really quickly. Leggings are the worst. The material itself isn't very nice to touch and it gets shiny looking after a couple of wears. The quality of denim always looks different, as does the cut of the jeans. Shoes have got bits of glue sticking out. The lining on coats is crap and the material looks flimsy. The stitching is always terrible. The sizing is always off. I can absolutely tell when someone is wearing it.

I will happily buy from Sainsbury's or Tesco in a pinch. I think they have some decent quality stuff. Nicer material, better fit. I've got some items that have lasted yonks. Don't know if George/Asda is any good now but years ago it was rubbish and I experienced the same issues as Primark. It might have improved now though.

I don't judge anyone because it's cheap and affordable. I have the income to buy designer but I almost exclusively use Vinted and charity shops, so it's not like I'm snobby. I just think the quality is noticeably poor and I'd rather spend the same money on something of better quality even if it's second hand.

Anyone spending a fortune on "designer" label clothes is paying towards the fees of the celebrities doing the advertising, the high rents of the posh shops, and the so called cachet of the labels - nothing to do with the actual quality of the clothes. That's why they put easily identifiable logos on the clothes, bags, shoes etc, because otherwise how would anyone know the difference? It's all a con. A linen shirt for £14 from Primark is no different in quality from a £140 linen shirt from a "smart" label shop.

100% this @Laurmolonlabe

I have 100% cotton Primark T-shirts that are about 10 years old! It’s only fast fashion if you buy something, wear it once or twice, then chuck it away.

No of course not.

I judge people who buy clothes from Shein, because of the appalling, exploitative MO. Everyone knows how bad it is, so to support that shit, when Vinted and cheap alternatives exist, is something I judge.

There is obviously ethics issues with many other companies, but Shein is on another level.

I couldn't care less what people wear otherwise.

I had someone recently surprised when I said I shop in aldi for food, apparently I 'look expensive' so they assumed I shopped in M&S. By the same token my 'expensive look' is from charity shops. I love a good rummage around a charity shop and love a bargain on everything including clothes. I wouldn't notice if anyone elses clothes were primark or prada to be honest.
