Brands that scream CHAV

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.

Beats/Dre/Monsters, utterly horrible. Overpriced underperforming ste. They scream "I haven't got a freakin' clue about sound quality, and don't mind walking around looking like a colour blind cyberman". Although you do wonder how many of them that you see around are the actual brand and not some cheap knock off.

Do they do these Beats headphones in a cordless spec via bluetooth or some other form?

The reason I say this is twice now I have seen a bloke, pumped up on steriods wearing a vest 5 sizes to small for him in the middle of winter walking through a city centre with a pair of Beats red headphones on but no cable going to them.

Back on topic it has to be Superdry.

i thought it was a local perfume shop !

I thought they must have liked the Beastie Boys

Aquascutum, Stone Island, CP Company (particularly the google jackets...) etc... Anything the wannabe football hooligan would wear screams chav to me.

My mrs. wears an Aquascutum mac, and I wear a Fjallraven jacket with a cashmere Burberry scarf (owned for thirty years this year).

Neither of us have much of an interest in football to be fair.

I know Aquascutum is an expensive brand and is liked by many (I used to have a quite a lot when I was 17/18) but these days the scarves, hats and jackets are a favourite of the knobs I see on matchdays.

If they've been badly modified then I agree. A well kept, standard (or tastefully tweaked) example I wouldn't say is.

The thread isn't about individual items that are chav, it's about brands that excompass 'chav'.

OK, if thats the criteria...Mitsubishi and Subaru as like Burberry they 'encompass' a chav item.

Next - these guys started off by selling stuff to those folk who had no money but offered credit, their primary customers being low income households

Charvers aspire to desirable brands. By your reckoning then, because the people in your example wear Armani diversification brand jumpers and tshirts, then Im a charver because I own an Armani suit. But Im not...

Converse are getting chavvy.

Is that why people are obsessed with their sale, its always considered THE sale to go to!

They're a bit of a weird one. They used to be the polar opposite of chav and now they're both chav and not chav, which is impossible.

[Robb F]

Apparently being in fashion makes a brand chav.

Maybe people have a definition of chav, but the ones I've seen wouldn't be seen dead in Hollister or Superdry!
