Average Joes as Good as Pricey Clothes By: Christian Thibault

     Raph Lauren, Hollister and Polo, all brand names that are highly priced though, is the brand worth the price. I believe that brand names such as Nike, Abercrombie and Fitch and other pricey brand names are not worth their market price. Brand names aren't worth the price because: you can get the same shirt without the brand, you become a walking advertisement and lastly, people appreciate average clothes just as much as brand names.

First of all, mostly, the difference between brand name clothing and normal clothing is the actual brand on the shirt. The biggest arguement made by people who are for brand names is that the quality is better but Faze.ca disagrees when they state that "most shirts, brand or not are made from 100% cotton and 100% cotton is 100% cotton". Another arguement is the comfortability of the shirt. People find as if brand name clothing are more comfortable. Although true, I still don't think that it's worth the price.

Second of all, when you buy you become a walking advertissement and I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to be that person. The biggest way brand names spread their merchandise is through other people. Clothing companies spread their merchandise through models wearing the clothes and looking good and so if you wear those clothes don't you become a walking bilboard? Losing my dignity and becoming a human bilboard is not worth the price.

Lastly, people appreciate you just as much without brand name clothing as they would if you had some. Brand name clothing is slowly starting to be a way to somewhat buy your dignity or a way to buy your way into a higher class of people. If society becomes this shallow over brand name clothing, it's not worth the price. And think of this, if someone only approches you or you only becomes friends with you only because of your clothing, do you really want them in your life?

In conclusion, there are many reasons why brand names aren't worth it in my opinion. The price, the quality and the after effects but that stays as my opinion. At the end of the day, the important thing is your opinion!
