And FTR, I can see the value in investing in a few high quality classic pieces that will see you through many years. Most people just can't afford to do that for their entire wardrobe and/or don't want to be stuck wearing those same pieces ad infinitum. You can get tired of a $300 shirt just as easily as a $20 one.

She makes very good money now, and still maintains a sense of fashion, and she has always shopped with money in mind. This isn't to say she goes out and buys a bunch of crap, she realizes that companies have their "cycles" of clothing, and if you buy them once they aren't "in-season", they are much cheaper, as well as looking out for good sales. One of the biggest issues with women, is that most of them aren't going to wear an outfit more than a handful of times. They might get one item they are attached to for a bit, but then it never gets worn again. I compare this to myself; I will spend a few hundred on a nice jacket, knowing damn well I am going to run that thing into the ground. All this "ironic" hipster-tier clothing absolutely baffles my mind. Expensive =/= quality. |

Models look the way they do because the designer wants you to look at their clothes not the models. No make-up hair pulled back, no tan, homogenous people - helps you to not see them and focus on the clothes.

All of their models and clothes make me think a) homeless b) junkie c), tranny d) all of the above
You wouldn't want anyone confusing your daughter with any of that, would you? She goes to an upper-crusty college. I suspect the brand has some following there. She is very intelligent, motivated and has her head on right. I think the siren song of peer likeness is creeping in a bit. It's quite possible the clothes are popular with people that don't look or act like zombies. Thats likely. Its just tough to break out of the Dad Mode at this level of bizarre. Trust but verify. |

Just say No. Tell her materialism isn't the path to happiness.

LOL, some of those look like a basic Hanes $15 sweatshirts. That is so effing retarded.
ETA: Jesus that is the worst website I have ever seen. I hate that kind of fashion. Looks like that retarded high art Japanese fashion. Ridiculous amounts of money for incredibly ugly clothes that no one outside of a couple of cities will be caught dead in. |

If her friends are stupid enough to dress like that, buy her some better friends for Christmas. |

I wouldn't buy that shit for my daughter. Although if you are trying to keep boys away then buy multiples.

I don't really see the problem if you can afford it. It's not really that expensive. Do you guys just buy $5 jeans and t shirts at walmart? lol If anything, get less gifts for her and get what she wants. I don't see what the big deal is. The possible big deal is teaching the daughter that thrift is not important. It is teaching her that "in" items are required to be accepted or function in society. It's a Christmas gift. My point remains the same. |

$6. Get in XXXL and write "ACNE" on it. Spend the other $294 on ammo.

That's actually a brilliant idea, even if he was going to purchase it for his daughter. Buy one of those and wrap it up, then give it to her. Watch her squirm for a minute then hand the actual present to her.

I've just sent a text to my sweetie asking for her to please explain this fashion. I'll post her expert opinion on why this is somehow good in the morning.
To be clear,she doesn't design or make expressly functional clothes and her stuff is not cheap. A pair of jeans from her is around €300 but are fitted and made by hand in Eesti rather than cranked out in Turkey or Indonesia. I'll post a couple of her things in a second Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
