Is having expensive tastes a good thing

Mostly I think it's a waste of money. People in the thread are on about how jeans are better quality. Well be that as it may, unless your £100 pair of jeans last you ten times longer than my £10 pair (so 20 years or more), mine are better value for money.

There are some items where it is worth not getting the very cheapest thing you can (like hiking boots, rain coats, tents and musical instruments to name several things that I've bought recently or need to buy currently) but on the whole, expensive stuff is not worth it and you're mostly paying for someone's name to be associated with it.

I think the combined cost of everything I'm wearing now (excluding shoes) is less than £50, and that's mostly because I'm wearing quite a nice jumper made from alpaca wool.

I just spent like £100 total on a blazer, jeans, shirt, wallet, tshirt... And all are comfy and nice

I managed to pretty much renew my wardrobe's contents for about £90 by shopping at Primark.

No: what I'm saying is that I wouldn't necessarily feel happier because I was in a £1,000 coat.

I once spent nearly £40 on boxer briefs.

Sounds about right. I go for ASDA stuff normally, although a couple of months ago Primark opened where I live. I've yet to go in there yet but I imagine it'll be glorious when I eventually do!

Payed nearly £300 for these true religion jeans fully worth the price you get what you payed for especially jeans you can wear all seasons the quality and material superb they will last a lifetime there expensive for a reason, I'm not really a accessories kinda guy payed £6 for my card holder does the job accessories are easily replaceable

You'd be surprised theres plebs out there that can't tell a Patek Philipe from a Rolex.

That is really the most terrible thing I've heard in a long, long time.

You say worth the price, but they're 40 times more expensive than the ones I'm wearing now (which I think were £7.50 and have already lasted me over a year) so unless that pair lasts you more than forty years (highly unlikely!) it's not worth it and you may as well buy new cheap ones every couple of years. Also I think those jeans look awful, but that's obviously a matter of opinion. They also look like they're already fraying at the bottom. I wear jeans all year round (except during the height of summer) so that's not exactly a bonus that you have to spend £290 extra for.

I can think of much better ways to spend £300 than a pair jeans that might last a few years longer than my cheap ones. I can pretty much guarantee that if you do any kind of physical activity while wearing them, they will not last any longer than mine.

Generally bad, self-sufficiency and fortitude is more masculine.



Rolex = chav

It's expensive for a reason, I had burtons Jean that I payed £18 for the fit was horrible, cheap clothes are okay if you don't really care about fashion, that's the style of the jeans and look at those back pockets tho you don't get them on £10 jeans

An old used Rolex is believed to still possess class, provided it is handed down through the family.
