Which clothing brands/cosmetics/shoes/accesso... etc, are status symbols?

For example, if you walk around carrying a Louis Vuitton, while using MAC cosmetics, etc, would that necessarily be a status symbol? In my opinion that%26#039;s becoming the norm, so it%26#039;s not even considered classy anymore.





What is though? Which brands out there are a step up from the norm?

Which clothing brands/cosmetics/shoes/accesso... etc, are status symbols?
I find that with cosmetics you can%26#039;t even reaally tell if the person%26#039;s makeup is flawless. Status symbols include, great skin without pimples or wrinkles or sunspots. Full thick shiny hair, and a waist that is 70% of the size of the hips and chest. For women. For men, really good skin, white teeth and this may be me, a really great blazer with either a dress shirt or a graphic t-shirt underneath.


For women, really clear status symbols include designer purses like balenciaga and chanel. A pair of fab stiletto boots or shoes with a pair of wide leg pants/ wide leg jeans. Fabrics that are status symbols include woven tweed (a la chanel), cashmere, fine silk, chiffon, and buttery soft suedes and leathers and ofcourse (i hate this one) fur. Cashmere coats and leather or cashmere blazers in winter or fall are status symbols, along with really great stiletto knee high black boots. In summer, I find its hard to tell... But really fab shoes and a great dress with ofcourse a brand name bag.





Calvin Klein for winter coats, and the burberry trenchcoat though not the nova check in britain. - for the rainy season. Sometimes, you can look like a heiress with just the brand name bag and the brand name shoes and the right outerwear, and the pants and top can be from walmart or old navy and no one is the wiser.


Louis is played. I mean, Mulberry, Luella, Celine and Dior (atleast the ones that are free of logos) are true status symbols. And the prada gauffre and fendi spy... Then the queen of all of them is the Hermes Birkin.


The true status symbol perfume is jasmine. Really expensive and really seductive, it is the queen. with a touch of rose absolute - not the cheap stuff. And ofcourse, Chanel no 5.

All of these labels are status symbols.
Reply:Hermès (especially their handbags), Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Chanel, Armani, Prada, Dior, Dolce %26amp; Gabbana, Versace, Brioni, Etro, Ferragamo, Zegna, and countless others. Really any designer items that the average person couldn%26#039;t afford. Some designer logos such as Louis Vuitton%26#039;s are rather played out right now since every celebrity has/had it as well as most of America having knock-offs.
