I'm not trying to be rude here but i genuinely want to know why you guys pay ~$3000 for a generic piece of clothing. On every waywt thread all of the outfits look like they could be bought at a thrift store for around 20 dollars but you guys spend thousands of dollars on a normal looking jacket and pants. Why?

alot of the people in the waywt threads are poor-er so they often use thrifted stuff
thrifted =! bad though,
i sincerely doubt people here actually drop $3k on a single piece, i think the most expensive piece i've ever seen posted on here would be python geos which a guy estimated to be like 4.5k

Because they actually are. If you think anyone on WAYWT has anything close to even ~1000$ outfits, you're retarded as fuck.

I do pay for expensive clothing, but I would never post on WAYWT. Why I pay for clothing? Unique design and superior materials and fit. When I put on my Belstaff leather jacket, I look like a god, when you put on your $500 leather jacket, you look like a bag of shit.

If you don't wear well-made clothes, you're wasting your good looks.

That's because you are also paying for the fit/cut/style of the clothing as well, basically paying for everything you can't buy that's poorfag tier

Yeah you absolutely get diminishing returns on price/quality, and so many people don't seem to understand this.

An increase in price will mean an increase in quality up to a point, but it tapers off and you pay for the brand with designer items. I mean, you're an idiot if you think your $2000 geoboxes which are made of leather from halal cows slaughtered by Rick Owens himself and stitched withstrands of saffron are significantly better quality than a good pair of ordinary leather boots

1) They are sneakers officially.
2) There is a lot of differences in the design between even the highest quality black leather boots, and Geobaskets. If you can't recognize and appreciate these differences, then you don't belong on a fashion board.

This is like going to /fit/ and saying "hurr durr, why even lift weights, I can sit on the couch and also gain mass. What's the difference between fat and muscle anyway? Is there some Zyzz semen in muscle so that's why it's so hard to get?".

PRO-TIP: As with every board on 4chan, the wide majority of people on here are the absolute trash of society. Socially inept outcasts who live in their own mental construct, which is mostly dictated by their psychological complexes and internet "culture". Do not take anything you see/read on here seriously.

/fa/ggots think they look/dress nice, but in reality look like the misfits they are. Let them spend their parents' hard earned money on the entrapments of fashion cartels who cash in on them.

bad phone camera selfpics taken in the mirror might not necessarily broadcast all the details of a piece of clothing and even then some of the visible details might still be lost on you. they might be concerned about ethical labour or high quality textiles, other things that aren't immediately visible to you or to anyone else. how basic/generic/expensive something is isn't a good way of gauging how much enjoyment somebody is getting out of something, would their spending be justified if their clothes were flamboyant and loud? you also have to consider that they might be shopping at a different price bracket then you, while you might not find it fiscally responsible to buy a $400 t-shirt other people may not have to worry about an expense like that. many people are willing to pay a large premium for clothing that is a cut above what you'd usually see.
