I remember being in middle school and everyone around me wearing nicer clothing than what I had. There were a few times I had to wear my sister's socks. The picture I am trying to paint is that I was dirt poor.
Back then, I associated brand name clothing with financial status. Now why is that? When you think about it, most name brands these days are made in other countries in mass quantities, and then sold in the USA for huge profits. What about that item of clothing makes someone better than anyone else?
Here I am, almost 29 years old... I'm no longer dirt poor, and I couldn't care less about material things. Sure, if I need a new shirt, I buy one... if I need a new pair of jeans, I buy those too. However, you won't ever see me walking the streets with a huge Louis Vuitton logo on my back.
How do you feel about brands in today's society?
