Things That I'm Sick To Death of Hearing...

Is it to make yourself known among other greeks, like gangs do by wearing specific colors (Crips with blue, Bloods with red)? I mean, if its about dressing conservative and classier can’t all of us do that by simply wearing polos, shirts, and solid tees? What’s the obsession with designer labels? Please answer respectfully, fraternity brothers are most welcome to answer, I don’t want to ask my brothers simply out of humiliation for not knowing. Sorority sisters can also answer too. Thanks!!!

Really, you are old enough to be in college and haven't figured out that certain brands are in style while others are not. Labels shouldn't mean anything, but in fashion they do. I doubt that every piece of clothing you wear needs to be designer. Pepper in a few of these brands amongst regular polos and solid tees. BTW, this is the wrong thread for this discussion.

Lol i guess I'm not really into fashion. One of my brothers finally told me the reason: its to look like the well-dressed classy better man we all strive to become one day. Its also to make first impressions, good lasting impressions. Thanks I'll make sure to pepper some into my wardrobe. Lol

In my opinion, it will be hard to achieve this goal with the way-past its expiration date Polo and with Vineyard Vines.

And to tie this back into this thread:

I'm tired of the word "classy," use of which is almost always anything but classy. And really, it's a word men should never use.

At the moment, the phrase "oooohhh, you have the BAD kind of diabetes".
I never knew there was a "good" kind?

I did not expect to hear this question from a college junior, let alone 3 of them.
