lotar Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 haha, no way. I wouldn't wear SI if they were given to me. A predominant label only says "you" think it means something. Good quality clothing doesn't need to advertise its brand so explicitly. course you wouldn,t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The OPs image pretty much sums up the average Stone Island wearer these days, in the past it was different. But just as Burberry was taken over by chavs, the same has happened to Stone Island. I'd rather wear River Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 course you wouldn,t No I wouldn't. Why would I wear trademark chav clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Boy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 How can you just judge everyone that likes a particular brand of clothing? I don't wear SI I think it's too expensive for what it is, you can buy much better branded clothing for much less money but to just accuse everyone who wears SI as a coked up football fan is small minded.

DeathAxe Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think wearing an island wouldn't really go so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 why the big deal, if you cant afford it, thats ok,,, I can afford them but I don't like dressing like a plonker. They are great though, It means people like the rest of us have a visual trigger to avoid chavs from a distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsafan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 class song on the subject People like yourself make it more about money. When I was at school, I was still made to wear a uniform. Why? Because a uniform is also about representing you as a person, being a part of a group, a team, and that you are being educated, a child. Now I see a kid, and he does not even know how to dress himself. He cannot even dress his age! I do not even see this as a simple problem for kids, or teenagers, but this goes to adults too. Why do you think that tv programs about clothing is so popular? Why is Gok Wan's tv show more popular with adults too? Can you tell me does the adults actually know how to dress themselves and what is age appropiate for themselves too ? The answer to that question is a simple "no". It took me a long time, and a lot of pain from coworkers, and also bosses alike to manage my look, and I am happy with that now. When I go out and see that people actually do not know when to dress for what occasion and why, and then start to criticise others on their attempts, it makes me pretty mad. I hope that children in Sheffield, or just early teens do not follow that mediocrity and go with that celeb look, but dress something which is more appropiate to their age, and give themselves a decent acceptable look. Just simple pieces is acceptable, and something which give them the confidence to be and look hopeful too. Also, I hope their parents can dress appropiately too and not influence the way that they themselves need to dress down and continue this kind of casual look. There is a time and place for different kind of clothing. Whether SI is actually a higher quality material is irrelevant. It is indeed how you wear something and if that something is appropiate and if it fits well. This is just simple Self Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutlandFlyer Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Stone Island, Burberry and (increasingly) Barbour. There's a negative association there that means I'd never wear any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
