Brands that scream CHAV

Personally i don't think any chav would spend £40 on a T shirt the same as they don't buy Super Dry. Sports Direct is definitly the way forward for chav wardrobes.
That's exactly what they do - they are status symbols, same as gold rings and necklaces.The majority of the diffusion labels of the Armani brand are aimed squarely at chavs. No different to Burberry and Stone Island.
Bonkers

Yes it starting to be a chav brand.
It always has been!
ks has it, since when has Portobello always been seen as common?.The problem with threads like this is it's always down to personal opinion and the fact that the term 'chav' is generally used to mean something the poster doesn't like rather than it actually being chav.

Which is sort of the point I was making regarding Helly Hansen and Ben Sherman. Both very un-chav in my opinion.ks has it, since when has Portobello always been seen as common?.The problem with threads like this is it's always down to personal opinion and the fact that the term 'chav' is generally used to mean something the poster doesn't like rather than it actually being chav.

I was about to buy a Hollister polo shirt the other day, and my wife said that Hollister is Chavey. I’m not convinced, but I’m also not willing to risk looking like a chav so didn’t bother buying it.
So you didn't buy something you liked just because you were worried what others might think.What a chav!

Hollister isn't a chav brand yet IMO - but it's almost something worse - willfully trendy.
Anybody who queues up to buy their very overpriced clothes in the dark whilst being subject to what is effectively chemical warfare in their shops is a tomfool of the highest order.
Hollister is about 3 years past it and shouldn't be worn by anyone who's old enough to have done their GCSEs.Anybody who queues up to buy their very overpriced clothes in the dark whilst being subject to what is effectively chemical warfare in their shops is a tomfool of the highest order.
Superdry
Stone island
Burberry
Rockport
Henri Lloyd
Certain names I would have classed as pretty good have since become attainable for certain folk that want to push the chav brand further.
Armani Jeans
Armani exchange
Hugo boss (green or orange label)
Gucci (has to be a cap, trainers or man bag)

So you think Paul's Boutique is a classy brand?
I have to admit I thought it was a work uniform, I was thinking the other day wow a lot of people work at Pauls boutique, I must leave the house more.Melman Giraffe said:

I'm pointing out your total ignorance about the brand, which really does highlight my example.
It was once a low key brand (despite the product that they sell) but has over the last 6 years had the arse totally and utterly ripped out of it.
I couldn't give a stuff about the merchandise, handbags and denim miniskirts with I*heart*PB on them aren't my thing.

Yes that’s right. I didn’t buy it as it may make me look like a chav. It’s easy to mock someone for admitting that they care about what other people think, but I refuse to accept that there are many (if any) people out their that genuinely don’t care what others think. I would bet that trainers and jogging pants are quite comfortable, but unsurprisingly I wouldn’t wear them due to the image that this would portray. Would you?
So you care about what people think of you regarding what you wear but aren't too fussed to display your shallowness in a post?Nice touch!
