If black jeans, band tees and DMs are currently in fashion then I'm cool. It's a look ice been sporting for 30 years and every now and then I assume I'm cool for a while!
I honestly have no concept of fashion |

Used to but a lot of higher end branded clothes but the fashion for skinny this and that just makes it impossible at my size. Tend to stick to what I can fit into now. |

I haven't really got the budget for designer gear. I mix up some next, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins and Asda. As long as it looks nice and smart, I treat myself to the odd items that are normally in the sale and I know I can wear many times x |

I love a good sale, not often I'd by something not in a sale.
Having said that I'll contradict myself here by saying I would spend £££ on the red bottomed shoe variety!

A good charity shop is a precious thing. I do a lot of alterations myself so always manage to make something out of very little  |

I'm into fashion but not necercerially English fashion. I get a lot from China as their style is wicked as their stuff is generally fitted-ish so on gym bod they look pretty cool plus I'm very unlikely to see anyone in it and most likely it will be the 1st time any1 has seen it. Olus the prices are decent. Can be a bit expensive but nuting like £700 pounds on shoes. For instance i saw a pair of radii in bank for £200 i think it was,went online and got them for £70. Win win |

Times are too tight to be fashion conscious. Plus, I have to wear the same thing for work every day and by the time I get home, it's straight into the slobs kit. |

I have no problem spending £200-300 on a pair of shoes, or quality clothing item, that I know, would last me for many years. I would easily spend more, just can't afford it. But I don't buy designer clothing/shoes. Handmade goodyear welted shoes will last you a lifetime, if taken care properly. Made to measure shirts - seems expensive £50-100, but if you consider cheap shirt, for £25, plus price of getting it fitted, it's similar cost, but you'll never get correct fit, as with made to measure item |

I love expensive shoes like Christian Loubution and they are a bit of an obsession of mine.
Charity shops are amazing. My best finds have been in these shops. Vintage corsets etc . Love them. |

Mrs has a few Louis Vuitton bags. One is 26 years old. They're expensive to stand the test of time
A £650 bag isn't really that bad when it lasts that long.
The cheap ones for around £30 barely last a year before falling bits.
Personally I don't wear designer clothes, I do like a Swiss watch though and won't bother with designer brand watches |

Not at all. I buy what looks good on me and usually in the sales.
Only thing I do spend decent money on is watches. I have a collection going but they never really go out of fashion and are the only piece of jewellery I wear. |

Labels schmables..
Fact is that the majority of clothes we buy are mass produced in factories in China or Taiwan..
Fact..
Your Gucchi Jeans on the same production line as Primari.
The saddest whores to me are label whores. Get a grip. Who cares, it don't make you a better or more interesting person.. |

I am very much a shopaholic. I go to America a few times a year and tend to get most of my clothes there. Some are designer label and some aren't. In the UK I would shop for work things in somewhere like Hobbs as it's worth paying more for classic pieces. |

Anyone can buy the latest fashion trends, but style on the other hand you can't buy. Style is the ability to mix a signature top end brand with high street buys. Your Hermes with your H&M's. Your Prada's with Pull & Bear's. Fashion is the relationship to the external. Style is the relationship to the internal. Fashion distracts, style connects.

My problem is simply I need two sets of clothes. So I kinda try to look on line a lot. Or I have kinda been lucky in the last few weeks, me and a friend got some nice dresses in sales.
But my male jeans M&S with my old dm boot's. But yet again I got a nice pair of green DMs that I wear for both of me on sale for next to nothing last month |

I love design, quality fabrics, natural fibres as well as synthetics... And I quite love shopping in general as well as shopping for bargains.
Back in the day when I was a hedonist into quality drugs (lol... I was pretty softcore for a hedonist imo).. I realised I'd spent untold amounts on getting high with nothing to show for it (as the memories didn't particularly linger what with all the hangovers lol)...
So that helped me justify spending money on clothes, accessories , perfume and shoes. Some expensive items have a life long shelf life, though a lot of high street is made with premeditated obsolescence.
The most I've spent on a single pair of shoes is £350 for a hand made pair off a London College of Fashion Cordwainer graduate... I'm pretty obsessed with handmade things, innovative techniques and visionary designers... It's a bit of an on-going passion of mine... |

I buy most of my clothes in charity shops, I go for good makes and get a good variety. Except for Jeggings and undies but I,m quite tight though and get mostly Asda knickers.
My daughter I buy mainly new, she will only wear tracksuit stuff, I get hers in Sports Direct, I will get her coats second hand but I have a bit of a thing for coats and we have loads of them. XXX |

I'm not into labels but I do buy good quality, classic pieces that will last. If I see a dress I like and it looks good, even at £300 I'd buy it. It's not about the label for me, it's about quality and how it looks. I've never been in Primark though |

I tend to go to vintage shops, charity shops and online. I have a certain style I like, that mainstream doesn't always adhere to. I wouldn't spend that type of money on myself. There are far better things that I could put it towards . |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
I've never been a fashion icon that's for sure, I will pay as much as I feel the item is worth. Keep it long enough it comes back which means I'm ahead of the game every so often |

I will spend as much as I think you can pay for quality. Anything after a certain point is obnoxious.
I get most of my clothes from Urban Outfitters and smaller online retailers. I get alot of stuff from illustrators and artists that I meet who sell their prints on clothes. |
