    £42 for a shirt? I wouldn't pay that yet alone £95. I think £25 for a shirt from Next is a rip-off, but then I'm not really a "clothes" person.

    Presumably realises if he doesn't fork out for designer labels, he's got more money to spend on better things! Silly Him! :p
  • £32 for a pair of boots? £42 for a shirt? any minute now i'm going to wake and find this is a dream. i could never justify spending that amount of money on one item of clothing.

  • for me it is not about taste; it is about money..

    and it doesnt mean that you will look good in expensive clothing..

    You are all missing the point , the point was the shops been a rip off in the first place, and for those that say wouldn't spend £32 on boots , where do you shop car boot sales for your footwear

    yes, not just footwear, but clothes too and very proud of it thanks.
    Have had country jack boots new for 2 quid, rohde shoes new for 3 quid, sacha heels for 1.50, a new monsoon skirt (from this season) 50p... the list is endless.

    As for what you say about shops charging ridiculous prices for designer clothes, it's just the simple law of supply and demand, if there are idiots who'll pay it, they'll charge it.
