Guilty pleasure

[fndmybetterhalf]

so what are some brands that you would hate to admit that you love...but you stand by? aka...whats your guilty pleasure?

- Bape, somteimes i cant help but liek what i see...but because of cost issues, id never buy them.

- banana republic, i find alot of surprisingly well fitting simple jackets form this store

- Gap, cheap tshirts, cheap coats, cheap everything

- Jedidiah, generally, this brand has a very emo/hipster conotation to it but i love some of their tshirt prints

[cheapmuthafukr]

chateau roux....even tho they stopped sending me free shit i still wear and love the tees.

nike- fuck the haters... best sneaker designs, just alot of shitty ones too.

[insidertrading]

- my bape/bapesta collection circa 2003-2005.

- collectable nike sb's... i'm a hypebeast at heart

- crossover lines

and that's bout it

Bathing Ape

Nike

Supreme tees even though they're big on me. Sometimes I feel like lounging instead of being in fitted clothes.

Hats in general. No one likes me in a hat. Not even my mom. Fuck the haters. <3

[Guest DUM]

Though im not embarrassed, basically all the tees you guys shun here

King Stampede, Mishka, Mighty Healthy, and oh god no..even The Hundreds

[Kasper]

i guess i'm also guilty of liking bape sometimes.

other than that, once in a while, i'll reminisce on my skater day and want to get some skate/snowboard brand gear or wear my old gear. like once in a while, i'll wear those real baggy Special Blend fleece pants, sooooo comfortable. but that's about it i guess.

[lilodxd]

i still like some nike sb's.. namely lodens & hulks.

also i am guilty of liking the supreme splatter hat, raindrop hat, and raindrop [16th? 18th?] backpack. but i would not buy nor wear it.

mercedes benz

generally don't like

but some look so nice

[naturaljax]

Bape - Not gonna lie, if it's not super cotton candy, it doesn't look half bad.

..... Blink-182?

[so-so]

I own one almost blank lrg shirt that actually fits me really, really well.

I sized down quite a bit, and somehow it remains not wide but plenty long with sleeves that still don't look awkward. Too bad I don't ever think I could wear anything else by them.

autumn nyc t-shirts

[Bandwagonesque]

I like a lot of stuff from Banana Rep, but typically can't justify it's price tag, or how it fits me. I'd go apeshit over their more conservative looking stuff, if only it was slimmer fitting. Their AmJack graphical print stuff is crap though.

I use to be into Club Monaco, and don't mind some of their looks. Some of it's too eurotrashy for my tastes, and I hate the black overkill they do. For greys and whites though, it's not bad. Quality is highly questionable, and only when it's marked down considerably do I think about buying stuff from there.

Old Navy for cheap t-shirts and clothes for the gym.

Jockey for grundies.

[Ahlvahroe]

mine is the 6 for $20 t shirts at footlocker. i think some times the perfect compliment to a $200+ pair of jeans is a $3 shirt. also gummy bears but thats cause i am a fat guy.

[nettiemoore]

another one here saying bape. i have a few bapestas from a few years back which i really liked.

[Bandwagonesque]

Even the SAs dressed in all black. Funny since I get a European resort prep vibe from their clothes, rather than the infamous all-black "goth ninja" feel.

I've never seen the goth ninja-vibe either. Euro resort prep is a good description. I don't like that the salespeople dress always in black. Along with the trance/elevator muzak they play there, dim lighting, whites and blacks, it feels like a cult for some reason. Huge contrast to AA... another cult. For brightly coloured hipsters.

Club Monaco seems to be more overpriced each time I visit. 249$ for a CM sweater??

My guilty pleasure is Superstore clothing. $8 tees that wear much better than AA's overpriced shit.

I saw a great cardigan today. Two toned grey, thin knit, cotton/cashmere. $148. Too rich for me. I'll wait till they drop it down to $50 since summer's coming and nobody wants to buy cardigans now. Their dress pants and shirts fits like crap, and jackets/suits are a joke.

I've never seen the Joe Fresh stuff, but my gf bought me some pj pants from there.

[bangbangbang]

CM pants have a terrible fit, and they only go down to 28, which is a huge 28.

I think the Joe line for women's is much better than the men's (relatively). The men's clothing is pretty meh (and widely cut).

[fndmybetterhalf]

the great thing about CM is their sales. alot of their button up shirts fit very well for me, very slim and not short, and oftentimes they'll have sales up to 70% price drop from 100 to 30. They also have some well fitting jackets that i love.

whoa i didnt know cm shit was that expensive now. for cheaper than that i could get a loopwheeler sweatshirt which is much better quality and more comfortable imo.

[superBobo]

all my hoods come from Åhlens. like a trad, boring, un-fashionable H&M with better quality. I don´t know what the US version might be.

I'm pretty average build - 37 chest, 5'11, 155 lbs, and the CM "slim fit" button up shirts fit me like a box - too narrow in the shoulders, too short in the length and sleeves, too loose everywhere below my armpits. Maybe the US stuff is different? Also, sales are pretty rare up here.

Regarding the pants... funny how they only go as low as 28, then up to 30. They skip completely over 29 in everything! I'm a 31 waist, and I was able to squeeze into 28 wool pants, but they looked retarded and emphasized my thunder thighs.

I'm not American, but I'd guess J Crew? I dunno... they seem pretty trady, boring, with decent quality from what I've heard.

[superBobo]

haha, yea probably something like that, but less fashion forward. Quality is nice though.

Hmm, im 38-39 chest, 5'10", 160 lbs and CM shirts are some of the only buttonups that i find that fit very slim. tapers in alot around the waist and its just abou the right length. the problem i've had is when i get size Small in buttonup shirts, it'll fit slim but end up being too short...or if the length is perfect, its too wide. CM shirts seem to fit me exactly the way i want them. and theres always a sales section at the CM here in seattle

[Bandwagonesque]

I don't mind Zara. I hate their clubby, AmJacky, graphicy stuff... but a lot of the remaining stuff can be quite tasteful. The quality IMO is quite comparable to CM, the fit is much more flattering, and the price is about half that of CM. Too bad the closest one is a 2.5 hour bus ride.

[fndmybetterhalf]

i wish there was a zara around here

[bangbangbang]

I always thought Zara was overpriced too (for what it is), and a bit corny too. Maybe I'm just a cheap bastard.

[corned beef]

Gap of course considering what i wear pretty much everyday

Bape i went through a period when i absolutely despised it mainly because of the flood of fakes i would see everyday in so cal but so much of their stuff is just so nice and simple, can't help but want it.

Im there with DUM, the majority of "streetwear" tshirt brands are shunned here for the most part, but t shirts are pretty much all I wear everyday and some designs some brands make are just mighty fine.

some of the stuff Urban Outfitters carries, come Sale time, there's always some decent stuff for low as shit prices.

I can't ever hate on nike though, despite the majority of crap they've been putting out recently, both SB and non.

[superdupersang]

i have a gulity pleasure of liking crap movies like alpha dog

cant deny. i liked the film and dug jt's preformance
