Re: Fashion Trends you Don't Get

"Normal", non-rich people who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a designer purse or shoes.

In my experience, it's about...like...showing your fashion game is strong? Like, for people who are really into fashion and follow a lot of fashion bloggers and enjoy pursuing fashion as a hobby. Admittedly, brands are pretty irrelevant when it comes to what looks good, but for people who really pursue fashion, part of that is about playing the game a little (or a lot). Which means incorporating a few brand-conscious pieces into your wardrobe. And since a purse is usually a woman's most ever-present item, it makes sense to choose that as the item you want other fashion conscious people to recognize for what it is.

You also see this a lot with footwear, such as Timberland boots ($160 USD), Birkenstocks ($135 USD), and Hunter rain boots ($165 USD) - all of which are immediately recognizable. There are a lot of other versions of those basic types of footwear, but if you have those brands specifically it's...for fashion conscious people it's like, you're not just following that trend, you're owning it.

It's all a bit silly, sure, but as long as it's something a person enjoys and does for fun (and they aren't going into debt in the pursuit of their hobby) then I don't think there's any reason to judge. When it starts to get kind of sad and weird is when people feel like they have to be fashionable and, like, keep up with other fashionable people, and if they don't it's embarrassing.
