I think there needs to be a differentiation between 'common' and 'chav'.
Common would include Superdry, f
k and the like.
Chav is all fake, apart from sporting goods.
The difference between the football casual and the chav is the football casual didn't do fake - if they couldn't buy it, they nicked it.

That brings back memories! When I worked on a stall there, 80s to early 90s, it was all joe bloggs jeans, Nike trainers and white socks. Lonsdale was reserved for boxing clubs and was never worn by a non boxer. Now I see Lonsdale on most fat McDonald eating non workers, is love to get them in a ring 
most chav fashion is a diluted version of the wealthy brands with some type of cheap track suit bottoms. It has to be practical and comfortable to wear all week, not stain to bad and advertise a name/brand. I own Lonsdale, Nike, salamon, Oakley etc but its all old, well used and quiet in its branding. Tap out is a brand that has been abused by stick thin and obese tough muppets that wouldn't know an armbar from a chicken wing!
This is probably because Lonsdale clothes are some of the cheapest available in Sports Direct. Big high street retailers have damaged brands by selling them so cheaply. most chav fashion is a diluted version of the wealthy brands with some type of cheap track suit bottoms.

I wear quite a lot of Superdry polo shirts; I didn't realise they were deemed chavvy! They seem to be worn by a fairly broad spectrum of people. Anyway, they fit me well and nothing else about me is chavvy (that I'm aware of!)....I'll survive!
I've got a couple of Superdry hoodies purely because of how comfy they are as well as being fairly good quality. Also have a few Hollister Polo's too as they fit me well and i'd like to think i'm not chavvy in the slightest. Studio117 said:
I was refused entry to clubs in berlin due to wearing stone island clothing.
They thought I was a hooligan. Now I stick to non offensive gear when abroad these days.
That's why the logo unbuttoned They thought I was a hooligan. Now I stick to non offensive gear when abroad these days.
Number of times I had to wait outside a bar while my mate unbuttoned his stone island logo to keep the bouncer happy, just to go and button it back on once inside. FFS. For what it's worth he got called Ned rather than Chav but that was just a regional thing. He preferred to be called a casual too.

At least Brabus have some heritage, they've been bdising Mercs long before any of the chav generation were growing tails.littlegreenfairy said:

I was wearing some the other day, that said I was sailing a boat at the time (I say sailing, I was really along for ballast as there were strong winds forecast).Mind you, at one point we passed a gorgeous classic with teak decks, the crew were either barefoot or sporting Dubarry-esque boots, not a deck shoe in sight.....so you might be right.

Dubarry + Shorts + Oakley + Yacht = Dubious (At least iffy knowledge of the col. regs (No shouting "I'm racing doesn't count')).Mind you, at one point we passed a gorgeous classic with teak decks, the crew were either barefoot or sporting Dubarry-esque boots, not a deck shoe in sight.....so you might be right.
For me it's less about being chavvy in the economic sense and more about just being vacuous, something that some people with lots of money seem to still be.
