    Not sure if it’s just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits…

      Isn’t that true of anything that is actually low quality textile with a big logo on it? If you actually care about clothes and the way they look you don’t want some big dumb word written on your body. Unless. You are like the guy in the picture and being paid to wear a shirt like that, don’t do free advertisement for these sweatshops.

      Boss, LV, Gucci - all those “Luxus” brands tbh.

      Their only selling factor is that they are too expensive for really poor people to buy.

      Their quality is medium at best

          Yeah they are not part of the very expensive luxury lineup for sure - but their point of sale is pretty similar imho

          Don’t they do both? Like they have the big-logo stuff for the wannabes that is just overpriced H&M, but don’t they also make actual nice suits and stuff.

      You could extend that remark to any clothes prominently displaying pretty much any brand as far as I’m concerned. You’re paying extra for the privilege of being a walking advertisement.

      The highest self-esteem is probably achieved by being a trans girl pre Estrogen and wearing comfortable clothes.
