Absolutely. Clean style is always in style. Buying an A&F shirt and becoming a walking advertisement for Abercrombie and Fitch just means you'll have another shirt to toss out in the near future.
Actually, some girl was telling me that she was sick of every guy wearing River Island clothes and that it was good to see a guy who wore something different. I had a plain navy blue sweater, beige pants, black shoes and a belt on.
It was only later that I realised everything I was wearing, except for the pants, were from River Island.
Seriously. Everything.
Sweater. Shirt. Socks. Boxers. Belt. Even the shoes.
It was probably everything I own from River Island and wish I'd known at the time so I could have mocked her.
Anyway the point is that there are two kins of fashion.
One is looking good because you look good.
The other is looking good because the majority of people believe that the company you buy your clothes from mean you look good so you better wear those clothes to look good and have massive logos on them just in case people don't know that you look good.
