Brands you think of as tacky

[Themammy101]

Lighthearted! Was chatting to some ladies at a group I attend and they were talking about fashion brands that is seen is tacky and trashy, superdry, Tommy Hilfiger, juicy couture, Adanola etc. do you agree with this? FWIW I do wear hilfiger jeans the odd time but seem to live in adanola as I find it nice fitting for my shape and very comfortable and never thought the brands as tacky per se but now I’m a bit paranoid, not that I care too much but nobody wants to appear tacky let’s be honest

Ralph Lauren

Especially the polo shirts with the super sized logo

Juicy Couture, especially with Juicy emblazoned across the arse cheeks.

Brands that are semi sporty but not really sportswear eg. White Fox. Also it has such a bad logo. It looks like something from the market in the 90s. NaffCo 54😁

On the upper end Louis Vuitton I don't like any of the designs and they all been done to death.
On the lower end Matalan - they used to have some nice things but last time I went in there they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Not too sure why these are for open water swimming only. I know a lot of people who wear them because they work outside in all weathers

It's just snobbery. I know plenty of people who own them. The vast majority use then when dog walking or watching kids football in all weather. Also, why can't a Dry Robe coat be multipurpose?
I'm sure Dry Robe don't care so why should anyone else?

Don’t be scared you’ll be judged! Firstly other people’s opinion of you isnt your business anyway and secondly, if a person judges another one for keeping dry in the rain, they’re the issue. Don’t let other people judging you about something so ridiculous stop you from being dry and warm.

FWIW I don’t own one, but might get one now purely because I don’t like being told what people should and shouldn’t do 😂

With you...I don't swim or paddleboard but have used it on the beach and it's AMAZING for standing on the side lines at my son's rugby, keeps me warm and dry so therefore happy to be a 'Dry Robe Wanker' 😊

Pretty little things, Juicy Couture. Anything with the brand all across it in your face and all the people who look the same wearing unbreathable gym leggings as everyday wear, short puffer jackets and beige beanies!

Mulberry- Now tacky AF and selling in TK Maxx. Those cross body satchels are ubiquitous.

Agree Burberry, Canada Goose and Pandora tacky too

But I love super dry especially their cotton jumpers. Also I love love love my dry robe and embrace my wankerage when wearing it in the rain to watch my kids do sport. I'm toasty and dry 😃

It’s not really lighthearted is it though? Brass tacks, you want to (and encourage others to) sneer at other people’s brand choices.

Not having a good day op?

Same here. I trekked in the Himalayas many years ago in NF. But the quality of NF, (and Karrimor, which was bought by Mike Ashley) has declined so much that it’s really just for fashion these days.

I was just coming here to say this.
Pp’s should concentrate on their own clothes what does it matter who wears what.
I wouldn’t dress like lots of supposedly fashion gurus even if I had the money.

Putting together an outfit for me is about the finished look and if I’m happy, not the brand.

Dry robe and all the derivative knock-offs. Anything with obvious logos on, Louis Vuitton springs to mind. Range Rovers are now extremely tacky and dare I say a bit chavvy. White cars. Stanley cups.

I think Dry Robes look really nice and must be amazing for all these rainy school runs. However there's a family by me where the kids even have them, 7/8/9 year olds which I find a bit funny seeing all four of them in their dry robes 😆

It totally depends on the person wearing it.

Well I have commented on the school run that a dry robe is a good shout since it has rained here for weeks it seems!

What a weird thread - so full of snooty judgements!

Every brand can have nice and not-so-nice items. Some of the brands named here are a bit weird - does something become tacky once it’s available to the wider public? Hmm……….. 🤨

I find anything with logos plastered tacky, unless it’s your overall vibe and you can pull it off (ie the colourful LV bags and someone with a very pop/kawaii style). My boyfriend is prone to logos and it kills me a little, can’t lie.

The Dry robe hatred is weird - surely they're just a practical way to keep warm or as an extra layer. I think of them in the same way someone would wear wellies or something.

It's a thread about brands people think are tacky; snooty judgement is what that is!

Weird thread.

I judge the shallow kind of people who judge the clothing of other women. People can wear what they want.

Tommy Hilfiger would have been posh when I was younger.
Still have some jackets, used to wear the jeans.
Adanola, I’ve never heard of…
Superdry, and similar, I’d just think of as youngster brands.
I think Louis Vuitton & Hermes Birkins are quite tacky…
And the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag. And MK, obviously…

I don't want to advertise a brand that's why I don't buy clothes with Blakely written all down the sleeve or juicy couture on the arse, or any other brands with writing on, why pay £xxxx to advertise someone's goods for them.

A lot of the stuff people think is tacky is because they are knock-offs that have splashed a brand's logo everywhere.

Those Turkish barbers don't actually use Louis Vuitton covers.
