Some people will only shop brand names, others refuse to look at brand name items, and each side of the issue has their own reasons for doing so. But does the math really add up in favor of spending a little extra money for a name? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Does it really make sense to pay $120 instead of $20 for mechanically distressed jeans? To some, the fashion statement is completely worthwhile. To others it doesn't make much sense to pay extra for jeans with holes in them. This is a common dilemma with many purchases when it comes to choosing between brand names and regular clothing.

In some cases the brand names really do have a better product to sell you and you will end up with clothes that you will love for a very long time. In other cases, some brand names do not have very good products but are nevertheless fashionable and popular enough to have a big name. These are the brand names that you should watch out for and stay away from and you will end up saving yourself a ton of money in the end.

The real secret to determining which brand names are worth the money is to try a few. Go out and buy a few items from different manufacturers and decide for yourself -which ones are your favorites, last the longest or hold up to the test of time. Then go out and buy some generic clothes. Are they better or worse than the brand names? Regardless of what they look like, do the generic jeans hold up as well? Are they as comfortable?

Even after you have picked out a few brand names that you think are better than the generics, why bother spending so much extra for them? You are better off shopping at second-hand shops for brand names. In some cases you can save yourself up to 90% of what the clothes would normally cost brand new. It's like buying brand name clothes at generic prices. So what if they are two months outdated? You still have the name and a good product, and you have managed to save yourself money as well.

Another option is to shop online. Discount stores of brand name fashions sometimes have online outlets. Be careful though and check the seller’s reputation before you order a clothing item that claims to be a brand name. This way you can save yourself a ton of money and still get a style and look that is popular and attractive without spending a fortune.

Whether you always buy brand name clothes or never buy brand name clothes you can save money by mixing your purchases and combining generic with brand names to create a wardrobe that you will love forever, and you will still be able to say that you did not pay way too much for one pair of jeans when you could have bought three or four.
