 * Over Paying Your Designers Clothes? **

What satisfaction does one get with having designer clothing? Everywhere you see there are signs of designer clothing. These designs may not be the flashiest designs either but most of the people find them stylish and will spend no matter what to be in with what’s new. I’m not sure if people realize how much they are really spending at a high end designer clothing store. The retail prices in high end clothing stores are an outrage but everybody looks for expensive brand named clothing, no matter what the pricing may be. Most people would rather choose a pair of jeans from American Eagle Outfitters or any other designer clothing store than from a place like Wal-Mart because they look for brand named clothing, no matter what it may cost. Most designer clothes stores say that their designer clothes are made from better quality materials and that is the reason why that everybody should buy their products over any other clothing's products. According to ae.com (American Eagle Outfitters) a simple embroidered mesh top is $39.95 which in my opinion is an outrage. Personally I rather have multiple pairs of jeans than one expensive pair of designer jeans. In today’s society it seems pressured to have all these kinds of designer clothing to be a part of what’s new and not be the one who gets left behind with fashion. Nobody wants to be that one person that gets judged for not having designer clothing. So they are willing to pay whatever the costs may be. The being cool factor comes to affect at this point to have designer clothing.  The only way one could try and find a solution to fix the issue, trying to lower the prices of clothing would be some sort of boycotting their clothing or just simply stop shopping in their stores. There is a problem with trying to accomplish this mark down of designer clothing, which would be trying to get everyone to stop buying their products. The cool factor will always prevail no matter what. Everyone falls into that need to be like everyone else with having the need to have brand name clothing. This is how the high end designer clothing stores will always have business and will take advantage of everyone. They know that no matter what the price they put most of the people would fall into it and buy it.
