"I think that something that people in general forget to do - and it's true, not everyone has the financial means to do this - whatever clothes you buy if you really want them to fit well, you need to have them altered or tailored." Tom Ford

I have recently passed an audition to be in a choir, the Chaps Choir, which has, as its uniform, dark trousers, a white shirt and braces - a sort of old school working man look. I have a perfectly good pair of black clip-on braces which would do fine ... And then I saw these. They have an unusual design and are made of leather and look so good. But they are £80. I might wear them on other occasions than concerts with the choir ... £80. Are they worth it? Will I look like I'm showing off? Please help with the poll below ...

Hey everyone, I have a question for you. When I met my neighbor today in front of our house, I noticed she had a Louis Vuitton bag. Why did I notice it? Because the LV logo was all over it. I know this lady well - it was definitely authentic. I also recently noticed an LV scarf on someone whose clothing style I really admire. I looked up the price: new costs 400 EUR, secondhand still 200-250 EUR. A similar scarf without the logo? Often below 100 EUR. I'd like to hear your opinion about designer clothing and these famous logos. First, it's definitely a display of wealth - but only when it's authentic. Another aspect is that it can backfire. People might assume it's fake, that you're trying to look rich. And this happens whether the piece is original or actually fake. The third aspect is the actual value. How much would I pay for that LV bag without the logos? 50-100 EUR tops, instead of the 1,500 EUR for the original. You might say we dress for ourselves, which is absolutely right. But we also dress to create a first impression in those crucial first seconds. So my question is: when does it make sense to wear clothing or accessories from major brands that everyone recognizes?"
