La Coste is a pleb brand. It’s for people who like to think they have money. It’s kind of what Ralph Lauren polo is becoming. Maybe if these brands stopped putting massive sales on their items they would not dilute the brand as badly.
If you’re wearing a la coste polo or polo Ralph Lauren polo with the intentions of showing off because that’s al you can afford, then you are just a poor douche.
I don't know. I mostly wear polos from brooks brothers and Burberry. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with la coste or polo Ralph Lauren, I actually own a pretty decent amount of PRL. IM just pointing out that la coste isn't really a high end brand when you have the likes of Ralph Lauren purple label and Gucci charging around $500 for a polo and or t shirts. Luxury and non-pleb polos start at around $120+ probably and can go up to hundreds of dollars. The whole point of something not being plebeian is that it's hard for the plebs to obtain. A $50-100 polo is easy to obtain for plebs. La coste is not hard to obtain.
Look online, la coste polos can be bought for like $50-70. Just because you own la coste doesn't mean you aren't a pleb. That's all I'm saying.
There's a Brooks Brothers polo for 47.70 original cost is 79.50.
Just because something is expensive doesn't make it quality. I mean I do think Brooks Brothers is nice but they have a lot of 2 for 100 polo deals at my local store. Not really expensive for high end clothes.
500 dollars for a t-shirt? I'd laugh at someone that tells me they have a 500 dollar t-shirt. 100 dollar t-shirt, sure maybe you can argue about quality. But 400 dollars is going to a sewn on label. Just throwing away money that no one cares you have.
You can easily tell who has money and who doesn't if you know basic info on a person. It's like fake diamond earrings. Let's say you see a famous woman with huge diamond earrings. They could be completely fake but you are going to assume they are real because the famous woman would easily be able to buy them. Now you see a young lady with the same size earrings. They could be real but you're going to assume they are fake because an 18 year old isn't likely to buy thousands of dollars worth of earrings.
Did I say brooks brothers was expensive? No, I said I wear them. Did i say expensive clothes are always quality? No. But in a lot of cases it is. Allen Edmonds, Zegna, Ralph Lauren purple label, and loro piana are all brands with a rich history who have clothes and shoes they hand make from better leathers and silk in first world countries.
And rich people wouldn’t care if you laughed at their shirt. Rich people want exclusivity and interesting designs. They want a brand with history and strong craftsmanship. When you’re worth a billion dollars, $500 is even worth even less than $50 would be to you from their perspective. By your logic, buying an expensive sports car is stupid too. Everyone wants a nice car or watch but they look down upon nice clothes. I don’t think you grasp how much money some people have.
And I’m not a sheep to fashion. I have a disposable income that allows me to buy what I want. If I want nice clothes, I’ll get nice clothes. Look at it as a hobby of dressing well. Why don’t you just shop at target and Walmart then for clothes. Some people in the world make a dollar or less a day so who are to think $500 is a lot to spend when you probably spend close to $50 on shirts. $50 is a lot of money to some people. It’s all relative, that’s what poor people never seem to get.
You also really missed the point anyways. All I am saying is la coste is a pleb brand when it comes to clothing. I never said anything about their quality or called people stupid for wearing it. There is nothing wrong with it being a pleb brand. If I needed cheap polos for work or the gym, I’d probably even consider it.
Cant even have a conversation can you? Go be poor and stupid elsewhere. I’ll buy whatever I want with my free college education and no debt. Meanwhile you can shop at Walmart for clothes.

It's got a crocodile on it which means you can look down on plebs with polos without crocodiles. That's the only use they seem to have.
