What labels and brands (if any) do you judge people on?

    I remember when anyone who wore a Ben Sherman shirt was thought of as a scroate. At the other end it would seem that quite a few daddy's little princesses end up wearing Abercrombie and Fitch.

    Outside of clothes some people feel that Apple worshippers can be a good indication of that person being, well, a bit of a wanker ;)

    Any clothes that are obvious fakes.

    The Brown Thomas label on the dainty little ribbon-tied bag they use to carry their Penney's shopping around town.

    Penneys clothes.

    Only the lowest of the lowest scum would wear it.

    How do you spot an Apple worshipper?

    If you see someone in public with a Macbook?

    I like Apple computers but prefer Android phones. :)

    I judge people who can't wait to label themselves Atheists as if they've somehow been persecuted. Cringe.

    Anything where the name of the company takes up most of the piece of clothing.

    Nothing wrong with their T shirts when you want cheap ones for daytime on holidays. They're cut the exact same way as similar t shirts in Top Man and Burtons.

    I know a few people I wouldnt label as anything who shop in Pennys.

    Yep I have a friend who does it she reuses the one BT bag she got a present in to carry all her shopping around in even though she can't afford anything from BTs and hasn't set foot in the shop.

    Polo just screams wa**er to me....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 944 ✭✭✭BetterThanThou


    I know some people who save up to buy a few sets of expensive clothes they can't afford and wear the hell out of them, while refusing to wear anything that's within their price range, especially when said clothes aren't even good quality and they're just paying for the brand. On a similar point, I also know a few people who get an expensive bill they can't afford so they can get a high end phone with it, despite only using the phone to listen to music and use Facebook. Basically, I just can't stand when people buy things they can't afford just so they can say they have them.

    Oh yeah - Superdry. *Shudder*.

    Makes me sad when I see kids going to school with the playboy bunny emblazoned stationary.
    Playboy should not be aimed at kids. No matter how cute the logo is .

    Nowt wrong with some of their stuff. Mostly very durable clothes.

    Now G Star on the other hand ....

    But but but, it's not a brand.

    I wouldn't be able to say if someone was wearing Penneys or not. Weird.

    The sheer ubiquity of it on the streets of Dublin baffles me.

    If its kids you can assume that they dont know any better, and that their parents need a slap in the face. But grown-up women??? They do know what playboy is for, right??? Is that their dream job?

    Jumpers or polo shirts from lacoste with that stupid old fashioned crocodile on it. In what economy is €70 worth it for a crap bright coloured polo shirt that looks like it should be bought in benetton.

    Can't think of any labels in and of themselves, just intentions behind wearing/using the product, which may not always be wankery in fairness. I really don't get the Apple hate. Every Apple product consumer is hardly a cuntt in fairness. I use an iPhone but it's for work, which paid for it. I also got a present of a pair of Superdry sunglasses. I don't know anything about that brand tbh - what's the thing with it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,077 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    It's not about the specific brand, it's the fact that you're making it highly visible so that everyone can see you're wearing a brand. You're providing free advertising for the brand while looking like a twit. I still remember how Abercrombie & Fitch had to pay some Jersey Shore meatheads to not wear their brand.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Well in that case... any label.

    I wouldn't judge anybody by what brand they wear.

    But anyone who wears a baseball cap back to front, or has the back of their jeans hanging down around their boxers should be placed into a NASA rocket and fucked into orbit.


    Oh, and women in leggings can join them.

    I've heard of these Apple fanatics who allegedly are all **** but strangely enough have never met any of them.

    Maybe I'm just not cool enough to hate popular products for the sake of it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,412 ✭✭✭Shakespeare's Sister


    I don't get the leggings hate either. Yes I know they can be worn by people who don't look good in them (same can be said for lots of clothing items) but they look great on women who have the legs/figure: http://cloud.collegefashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/leggings-as-pants1.jpg

    Yeh the reverse snobbery label hating can be just as much of a bandwagon tbh.
    And there is not one label I give a sh-t about (actually there are only certain moisturisers I'd buy - because they're good-quality, but that's all I can think of) so I'm not saying that from a position of bias.

    You need to be in fantastic shape for leggings to look even remotely flattering, most women certainly in Ireland just don't have the shape to pull it off.

    Slim legs definitely required for sure, but otherwise: wear a tunic-type top to cover camel-toe - voila. An insanely gym-sculpted body isn't necessary at all.
