Inspired by the Boden thread, but not about Boden OR the thread IYKWIM:
is it important to you that people recognise what you are wearing? Or not? Or would you rather that your clothes were NOT recognisable?? And why?
I love quality and great materials, but don't give two hoots about brand/designer or what 'season' something came from. I will happily wear my favourite stuff to death and couldn't care less whether it came from TKMaxx or was bought online or from a charity shop. ebay has been a real revelation recently, but I don't get this 'Oh, Boden is no recognisable, I couldn't wear it for more than a season.'
And here's a follow-on question: is there people amongst us who actually buy a 'new wardrobe' every season?! 
Please indulge my nosiness.
