I stay away from brands on the whole. D&C, Prada etc are just different ways of spelling 'twat'.
The only time i consider a brand is K-Swiss for footwear but thats because I do actually like the way they look, though I could care less about the brand. I'd rather spend thousands on better things than my clothes. If you're buying a brand purely for the label, then it's yet another shallow way of trying to get people to like you for completely the wrong reasons. If it looks good, buy it and wear it, but forget the brand.

People who buy boring clothes from those prep stores really need to remember that.
While I do like my skate-brand names, I don't buy it purely for the name. I make sure that the clothes fit and look good. Bright colors is pretty much a must.

Ah clothes brands! I'd have to say that at least 90% (probably more) of my wardrobe was previously owned. I shop at thrift stores and garage sales and get hand-me-downs from my friends who have jobs (woo!) and who decide to buy an entire new wardrobe for college (i know, who does that!) As far as brands, i dont think i could tell you the brand of anything I own. If i do happen to buy something at a conventional store, i generally avoid wearing it because it doesn't go with anything (including my personallity) or to avoid looking like a wannabe (which, i am sooo not). I'd make my own clothes before i resorted to shopping at the nearest mall (which, unfourtunatly, is very much devoid of cute botiques and hippy stores )

I get most of my clothing from those second hand shops/ "recycle your wardrobe" type places. Everything's insanely cheap and there's always plenty of variety. I usually pay attention to what brand of shoes I buy though, gotta rep the swoosh every now and then.

My mommy gave me a dollar and dropped me off in the parking rot.
I normally wear an assorted collection of concert tee's, blue jeans and athletic shorts or my vast collection of various dress clothes depending on the occassion. When I'm not in uniform that is.

I swear by T-shirts and own approx 40. Some rare and web only designs. I have a really cool colour Haze T shirt from Germany and a Ministry T shirt that is no longer available, not even from their own website. Yes I am sad!
