and i DO NOT mean real vs. fake...i mean tier zero brand vs. who cares brand

1. Sun Glasses :takedat:

- you're gonna lose them
-unless they SAY RAY BAN on the front (which is beyond corny) nobody gives a flying fukk about the brand, and can't tell the difference between Dolce and Gucci
-Please find the difference between these
h%2526m+aviator+sunglasses.jpg

and these
Louis-Vuitton-Z271-Gold-Brown-Aviator-Sunglasses.jpg

that warrent a roughly $300 price difference? sure, YOU know the difference, but at the beach, when you're driving, walking around...nobody cares. You will get the same amount of props for some H&M or DRUG STORE aviators as you will gucci or louis. Spend the money on EYE glasses if you wear them.

There are exceptions, like extremely detailed frames or iconic frames by Cartier or something, but apples to apples aviators...save the money brehs

2. Flip flops
:beli: nobdy cares about that logo between your toes, and anything above POLO is equal in that regard.

....Unless you're on a yacht in which case then cash out :huhldup:

3. Underwear if you're single
Brehs, no girl ever you've successfully gotten back to the crib after a party or bar is going to hit the eject button because you're wearing Hanes. Ever. 12 pack boxer briefs are fine if you're not seen in your draws every day.

Now, if you're booed up...and she sees you in your unmentionables reguarly....step it up :upsetfavre:. Its common courtesy and you wanna look hot for her right :yeshrug:

4. Belts that DO NOT have a distinguishable buckle.
Regular clasp belts and buckles are a dime a dozen. Get a whatever priced one from Express or macys...nobody is giving you props because of you standard black belt.

:ufdup: UNLESS you're getting a Gucci/Louis/Hermes/RL type distiguishable Buckle belt, and it fits in with the rest of you're attire

5. Hats
take off that stupid hat :beli:

I dig you on the belts and underwear..especially because I like to buy new underwear regularly, can't do that when they hittin for designer prices.

Can't rock wit you on the shades though. I actually bought some cheap shades and found that they didn't filter light the right way. With my real pair of Raybans the light is filtered in a way that I can see what I need to see, and the harsh light kept from my eyes. The fake shades just dim everything....Not always a good thing.

I feel you on this list. my boy just copped a Ferragamo Belt for almost 5 bills. when he told me, I looked at him like :dwillhuh:

and an hour before that he was saying how he could never spend crazy money on clothes when he saw me wearing my Red Cole Haan wingtips. :beli:
thats the thing...the farragamo ={CD}= looking belt is fresh if you are also wearing an great suit, great shoes, great watch...its like an exclaimation point that is at the end of your already put together sentance.

but these guys out here spending $400 on regular clasp-through-the-hole leather belts? or $500 on Hermes or Farragamo belts with off-the-rack suits with no tailoring???

why waste the money?

Son, what's wrong with a hat? they're $30? Sunglasses? Lost? Nah, I don't lose them, but i only have 1 pair.
lol nah nothing wrong with a hat, i'm bs'in with that one. Hats ARE something, however, that outside of a baseball team home hat, notoriously go out of style quickly


and sunglasses are about the most misplaced thing ever...i have 8 or so pair of eyeglasses...pairs i've had for over a decade...never lost eyeglasses...sunglasses however :beli: lost or stolen on the regs

You got me wrong bruh. Whether it's some ascis, new balances, sambas, Gucci sneakers, etc. I like what I like, no matter the brand
Those Gucci's you posted were plain as hell, though. No way they're worth $500.

The only sneakers I think are worth that much are those Raf Simons joints that are like modern art for your feet. :manny:
