    Sick of seeing the Head to Toe Superdry Clones
    OK, so I need to get this off my chest. The anger has been building for many months now and it's focused on one brand-Superdry.

    Superdry seems to have taken over the High Street and it has adopted a whole new set of clones with it. I counted yes counted the number of people in my college within the space of an hour in the wretched brand and it ran to double figures Double figures.

ID:	163380 I saw someone in these yesterday I mean Superdry flip-flops please. You have paid over price for plastic flip flops.



    Anyone who can defend this please- be my guest :P.

    I have a Superdry coat. It's about 4 years old and it's boss in winter. Care for the brand? No. Love my own micro-climate when it's winter? Hell yeah.

    I have one of their jackets, it does a great job of keeping me warm and dry whilst being well made, durable and reasonably priced. Great when living next to the sea and you can stick the collar up and protect from the wind.
    Nothing more to it really.

    I think you need to go and have sex with a vicious strapping black male in a steamy location

    In protest of all this mass conformity, you should grow an ill-fitting beard, wear lensless glasses, a beanie hat and the pick of the 'vintage' clothes from Oxfam. That'd show people how not to be mainstream!

    My Superdry hoodie is one of the comfiest things known to man. Only matched by my (discounted to £20) North Face fleece.

    Look on my clothes, ye hipsters and despair.

    Tired of seeing walking Superdry adverts everywhere, and seems like every Tom, Dick and Harry wears Vans. And if you don't wear Vans or have some sort of designer item of clothing. Then there's something wrong with you :/

    The bloody Superdry is expensive, and a complete rip off. An item that costs £75 in the uk from Superdry is sometimes $75 in the US. Same as Abercrombie and fitch, people that buy those clothing in the uk are getting ripped off, especially when you convert $75 to pounds.

    Personally, I find people who hate brands because they are popular to be more annoying...

    It's alright, they have good comedy value. They are our equivalent of the clothes with meaningless/hilariously wrong English on them that people wear in Japan. There's one superdry T-shirt which literally says like "Valley which dried dead bodies" in Japanese. Just let them wear it and smile lol

    I get what some people are saying about them actually making decent coats. Fair play to those people.

    I think what the OP should be directing their rage at is people wearing the combination of:

    -That oversized floppy hat, best described as a cotton ballsack

    -Pukey beige chinos (extra points if they have elasticated ankle cuff bits)

    -Those plimsoll abomination things that look horrific on guys (Toms I think they're called)

    I'm not a fan of Superdry either but who the hell cares if others want to wear the brand head to toe? It's their life, their body, their money.

    Does it matter?

    People should get to wear what they want. If they want to dress like that, let them dress like that.

    Why is everyone suddenly saying "does it matter?" and "who cares?" Why are we all now on high horses despite calling anyone who dares to purchase a pair of chinos a "chino ****er" for the past 12 months? You've all changed your tune. If a pattern forms in a thread within the first few posts, most people will then follow that opinion.

    The OP is right and I don't see why anyone is slating her, it's a terrible brand but if you buy one of their items just because it's a nice item and does what you need then good for you, nothing wrong with that.

    Some Superdry clothing is of a decent quality, but it is grossly overpriced. I only own one item, a shirt (which I've worn just the once) and I saw a very similarly designed shirt in Debenhams and perhaps even M&S but when you got up close, the quality was nowhere near as good. They were half/a third of the price though.

    Have people suddenly started wearing it or something? It's been in shops for years, I had a pair of jeans from them about 6 years ago.
