The reality is that, whilst people want to fit in, they also want to be and look better than the next person as most are driven by aspirations. Designer clothes give a person the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, to be noticed, to demonstrate to others that they are successful and even get a person a little respect.

That said, even designer clothes can look bad. A person needs to exercise a degree of discretion when choosing what to wear as price doesn’t necessarily equate to quality. Money can buy you many things but it can’t necessarily give you a look of class and distinction.

Many people deem designer fashion to be unnecessary. There is no doubting that in an age where people can’t afford to feed their families and there is widespread debt that you have to question the morality of wearing items that could feed a family for a month.

How you feel about things and what you are used to will largely be determined by the company you keep and how they dress. Let’s not forget that most people don’t have a wardrobe of designer fashions but just a few items they wear at special occasions. Surely if a person works hard there can be nothing wrong with that.
