Fashion trends: When buying clothes, shoes and bags, do you pay attention to the big brand logos?
Preface
Fashion has always been a topic that people love and hate. What I love is that it can always bring us different surprises and touches; What we hate is that sometimes it can also become a kind of pressure and helplessness that we have to face. Especially in this era when "appearance associations" are becoming more and more popular, we have to admit that fashion does have a growing influence on our lives.
And when we talk about fashion, there is no better representation of it than the wide variety of clothes, shoes and bags. These seemingly simple items can always change a person's temperament and image in an instant. Perhaps because of this, many people pay special attention to their brands and styles when buying these items.
Especially in the current increasingly impetuous society, many people have formed a special complex for big-name logos, and feel that only with these big-name items can they "hold their heads" up in the circle of friends and colleagues. But have you ever wondered if we should really be so "blind" to their brands when we buy these items? Perhaps, it is not necessarily a good choice to "do the opposite" appropriately.
1. Big brand logo: how important is it?
When it comes to big-name logos, in many people's concepts, it seems to have become a very "sacred" existence. No matter what the occasion, as long as you carry a bag with a clear big-name logo on your back or wear a bold big-name T-shirt, you'll be in the limelight in no time.
Perhaps because of this, many people pay extra attention to their brands and big-name logos when buying clothes, shoes, and bags. In their concept, only these big-name items can truly "show their identity" and make themselves "invincible" in the fashion circle.
In fact, the big brand logo is indeed very important for a brand. It can not only help the brand establish a good image, but also become a special expression of the brand culture and design concept. So, when someone says that big-name logos are just "useless" "vases", it is obviously a great misunderstanding of brand values.
But when we are shopping for clothes, shoes and bags, do we really need to be so "blind" to the big brand logos? Perhaps, this does not necessarily mean that the product is "high quality" and "value for money". On the contrary, sometimes the excessive pursuit of big-name logos will even make us fall into a misunderstanding of "blind worship" and make our consumption concepts deviate to a certain extent.
2. How embarrassing will it be if you don't know the big brand logo?
When we talk about big-name logos, I believe many people's first reaction must be LV, GUCCI, CHANEL and other "international celebrities". These brands, whether at home or abroad, have almost become "household names", and seeing their big-name logos, I believe that no one feels unfamiliar because they "don't know".
However, when we see some "maverick" fashionistas on the street, and the bags on their backs do not appear on these familiar big-name logos, but instead some very "low-key" brand logos, how will we feel? Some people may think that these people may just be "pretending", not really "not recognizing" these big-name logos, but just trying to "highlight their differences" in this way.
Indeed, in the current increasingly impetuous society, many people have formed a special "misunderstanding" about "not knowing the big brand logo". They feel that as long as you really have a certain understanding of fashion, it is impossible not to know these big-name logos, if you really "don't know", then you must be "pretending".
Perhaps because of this, many people pay special attention to their brand logos when buying clothes, shoes and bags, feeling that only by owning these big-name items can they "hold their heads up" in the eyes of others. However, have you ever wondered if when we really "hold our heads" up, what we see in the eyes of others is "ourselves" or "these big brand signs"?
3. Big-name items: is it a representative of fashion or a symbol of vanity?
Some people may feel that for the choice of big-name items, this should be a very "private" thing, and others have no right to interfere and judge. But what kind of mindset is it when we choose big-name pieces and pay extra attention to their brand logo?
In fact, in my opinion, big-name items should be a unique understanding and expression of fashion. If you think that just because of their brand logo, they "will definitely look good" and "will definitely show their identity", then this does not seem to be a kind of "respect" for fashion, but more like a "blind worship".
Of course, this does not mean that we should "discriminate" and "exclude" big-name items. Whether it is LV, GUCCI, or CHANEL, they all have their own unique design styles and brand cultures, and these big-name logos can indeed become a kind of "representative" of fashion, bringing some "inspiration" and "inspiration" to our collocation.
However, when we buy these items, we should perhaps pay more attention to their "design" and "texture" than just their brand logo. Perhaps, sometimes some "low-key" brands can really "fit" your temperament and style and become your "favorite".
Fourth, the concept of consumption: timely "go the other way"
Some people may think that when we are shopping for clothes, shoes and bags, it seems to be a kind of "rebellion" and "misfit" when we are appropriately "doing the opposite" and not "blindly following" the big brand logos.
However, I believe that "doing the opposite" at the right time may be more able to become a "unique understanding" and "meaningful expression" of fashion. Perhaps, you can choose some "unbranded" handmade custom items, or some "niche original" design pieces, which may not bring you the "instant eye-catching", but can allow you to discover the "uniqueness" after savoring.
Perhaps, "doing the opposite" at the right time can also become a kind of "resistance" to the "proliferation of big names" and "plagiarism". In the current fashion circle, there are indeed too many "copycats" and "counterfeits", and the products in many street shops seem to be "cookie-cutter", but they do not have real "quality" and "design".
Therefore, when we buy products, we should perhaps pay more attention to their "design" and "manufacturing process", rather than just their "external signs". Perhaps, this is the real meaningful "consumption concept", so that fashion has become a kind of "beauty that can really touch the heart".
epilogue
Fashion should never be just a "superficial" thing, it should be a kind of beauty that can really "touch the heart", a kind of love and pursuit of life. When we choose clothes, shoes and bags, perhaps we should use our "inner eyes" to discover their beauty, rather than just being swayed by their "external signs".
Perhaps, "doing the opposite" at the right time can also become a "deep understanding" of fashion, so that our collocation can truly "represent ourselves" unique existence. I hope that everyone, when choosing fashion items, can have their own unique "aesthetic vision", discover those truly beautiful existences, and feel the charm of fashion with their hearts, rather than just being swayed by "big brand logos".
