Brands that scream CHAV

[Mouse1903]

Had to bump this. Superdry has to get a big vote from me. All the chavs in Aberdeen have it. I call it Superchav. Went down to York for the new year and it was just as viral down there. Hollister and Abercrombie also massive chav brands ;-)

Forgot to mention G-star Raw aka G-star chav.

All the Chavs that have any money around here wear G-Star Raw. The scroats just wear their adidas tracksuits, socks tucked-in, bumfluff and caps.

I've got a couple of Superdry hoodies and a pair of Superdry jeans, only bought them as they were on an ebay daily deal for peanuts and they're actually pretty decent quality. To me, chav brands are those that scream the brand at people, brands that have a distinctive design etc or labels plastered on them.

To me, if its good quality and fits well with no obvious branding i'm more than happy to wear it!

LV - disgusting bags with an LV logo printed 4000 times, which cost 2 grand.

They game me the best life insurance quote though.

Paul's Boutique, as originally said.

It took me ages to realise that it was a brand. I thought people wearing them were employees from a stty market stall or something.

I've got loads of Superdry stuff, love the quality of most of it (the jacket I bought recently is the warmest I've ever owned) and I know it'll always fit.

As for G-Star, I bought more jeans from them this very afternoon as they always fit well and I like the style.

As for trackies, I own several pairs of Adidas which are great for slobbing around in on a Sunday.

According to this thread I'm an utter chav lol

...although an awesome album!

Those LV photos, Sean Connery et al; sorry, still looks bloody awful to me. IMHO it's difficult to wear clothing with large and obvious labels and not be accused of chav-ness. I have loved outdoor, 'technical' clothing for a long, long time and still do. I do use it as intended, but also wear it to the pub/in town if suitable. Personally, I wear Rab clothing as it is brilliantly made, well priced, and a small enough company that kids at school are unlikely to latch onto it. I have Rab gear thats well over 10 years old and looks almost new and they service stuff too. Love it.

Newsagents are ok, but I prefer loitering near the job centre to go and sign on...


Joking, just in case anyone's piss starts to boil

Anything from Sports Soccer or Sports Direct..I.e. Cheap trackies, trainers, jumpers that mismatch and are a bit baggy...this was the original meaning of Chav.

Superdry, Gap, Hollister, Abercrombie, G Star etc are not Chav...what else are kids and teens meant to wear....goth or emo gear or Clarkson style jeans and a T?

I've got some Superdry clothes, quality is not what I'd call it! I put my hand straight through the pocket of my Superdry gilet the first time I wore it! The polo shirts seems to be alright though.

OBEY! Obey all my lovely swag lowly mortals, well, because YOLO!!
I feel I must chop my hands off after typing that. Band tee's and hoodies For life!
Oh, and some black jeans from next.

Ill agree with that,no chance of looking like a chav in a Rage Against The Machine hoody and a pair of combats.

But every chance you'll look like a time traveller from 1999!

Seriously; just get a pair of skinny/tight jeans, plain tee shirt and hoody. You'll look like everybody else.

What about those folk that swagger about the high street with they massive headphones on? I know they're ever so trendy listening to their very cool music, but it always looks a bit daft to me.

A friend got a Barbour jacket for Christmas from her boyfriend and that's had to go back to the shop; evidently very chav; she is a beautician and gets a lot of gypsy wedding pie key ladies in - all in their Barbour.
