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.

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.

Mine knows the same thing. She also knows those 6pr of jeans and 6 shirts will be pieces of shit. There is nothing wrong with spending money on good clothes....in fact, there is a lot right with it.

Right? I have a female family member who was well revered in terms of beauty in high school, and also won best dressed or something along those lines for her class. 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.

I'm the epitome of horrible fashion, although I don't give a fuck.

I wear what is comfortable. For work that is usually Jeans and T-shirts and a Hat, for the weekend is usually more Jeans and T-Shirts and a hat. Throw an occasional Arc' Teryx jacket or other cool kid pants, maybe some Nike/Under Armour polos, alternate pairs of shoes, and that's me. Used to wear more shorts, although I blew threw all my pairs and never bought more, so my legs are vampire-esque pale.

If someone doesn't like it, they can look in the other direction. I'm not trying to impress anyone.

When comparing relative to the cost of many of our own hobbies, and the stupid amount of money I spend on things, the price isn't that bad. It's the fact that they are charging that much for some ugly ass sweatshirts.

I get that they are going for that whole "vintage oversize" thing, but I couldn't imagine paying that much money for something that looks like that.

Look at this for example.

http://d3pfrs3be80x9y.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/cache/6/image/x900/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/1/H/1HA143-900_A_14808.jpg

$350.

Acne Studios Fleece black is a zip front hooded sweatshirt with a drawstring in the back to create volume.

Drawstring channel at base of hood
Centre front zipper closure
Two front pockets
Two piece sleeve
Drawstring in the back to create volume
78% Cotton 22% Polyester

The only appeal is how large it is and that it has a large drawstring to make it look like you're the Stay Puft marshmallow man. No trick materials, no inventive design. It's a baggie hoody that costs $350.


Same exact sweatshirt at Costco.

Wouldn't be surprised if they got them from the same place and simply transferred the logo.

BTW, check out the 'male models' if you want to see the definition of beta male.

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 might be something she will actually enjoy, and it could possibly be something that she will absolutely love and will constantly for "x" amount of time(depending on age).

If she doesn't normally ask for stuff like that, or if her list has only one sweatshirt listed(not a bunch of expensive lol2cool4u clothes), I would personally buy it for her.

That depends on a number of factors though.

Then go for it. I'm sure it would make her day.

Personally, I would get a couple of jokes in during the day about you seeing the same one at goodwill for $5(in a lighthearted manner, not a dickhead stern dad matter).

That's just my opinion from someone who is probably close to the same age as her(if she's in College).

And even with value/investment----it's not something that comes naturally to me.  My husband is a buy once, cry once type guy so he's gotten me to loosen up a bit over the years but still, I see it like this:

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.


I agree with that.  But a oversize sweatshirt doesn't meet that test (in my mind).

It might be something she will actually enjoy, and it could possibly be something that she will absolutely love and will constantly for "x" amount of time(depending on age).

If she doesn't normally ask for stuff like that, or if her list has only one sweatshirt listed(not a bunch of expensive lol2cool4u clothes), I would personally buy it for her.

That depends on a number of factors though.

All of those are accurate.
 



Well, that paints a little different picture.  Doesn't sound like you're catering to a spoiled kid so I might consider it.

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.

Thats likely.  Its just tough to break out of the Dad Mode at this level of bizarre.

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.

Yeah - and sleep with one eye open whenever she is on break from school.

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

I mean as far as I can tell it looks like Fruit of the Loom is comparable or better quality AND makes the models happier.
