Its all about keeping your OWN style more and less following trends and brands. Women notice a man that takes time in putting his appearance together more than someone throwing something on cause their favorite rapper wore it in a video.
The older I get the less I care about fashion

This. Can't be 30-plus still dressing like Jesse Pinkman. This is a relatively new development in my life, tho.

I'll never get a cheap sweater/shirt from a place like Walmart/Target/Old Navy again because after you wash it twice, the shyt is already faded.
People balk at paying extra for a nice shirt from a respected brand, but don't realize, that you're getting what you pay for.
That $80 non-iron white dress shirt from Banana Republic is gonna last years longer than that $25 one from Kohl's. Beyond that, I think the colors from brands like Ralph Lauren really "pop" more. The colors will hold up 5-10 years from when you got it too. You save more in the long run that buying the same shirt every year because it faded/fell apart.
Those are the main reasons I stick to brands and really, there's so many deals these days, you almost never have to pay full price for something from one of these stores.
Banana Republic is always having 30-40% off sales at their stores and online. Ralphlauren.com always has good deals in their sale section and 3-4 times a year they do an extra 25% off their sale prices, so you can get really nice stuff for well under the retail price.

true indeed but im never totally loyal to brands...i've found some true gems in places like 2nd hand stores or in little men's boutiques. Don't just hit the department stores and think you doing it...
I won't blindly buy anything, but I know what I like and I stick to what's worked for me. I'll try new stuff though if it looks/feels right.

You know...I used to be particular about brands and style...and then I realized:
Chicks do not know about what you're wearing nor do they care as long as you look good and ESPECIALLY if you smell good...
I turned 26 today and I work out a lot during the week. Keep my diet in check. I used to be all about 10 Deep this or Jordan that. Then I realized that girls don't care. I get more action when I just wear a Jockey V-Neck, Levi Jeans, and some Jean-Paul Gaultier "Le Male" cologne (which I only get the oil version off for cheap from the mall) than when I ever tried to stack all my fly shyt together. I just make sure it all fits and it accentuates the right parts.
Chicks just want to look at a well-groomed dude with a good physique and an awesome smell and who cares if dudes think my kicks are fly as long as my shyts are clean & comfortable. If you can dance, smile, look good, smell good, and talk confidently...the game's sewn up.
