I'm trying to see your point but I still fail to see any justification for spending big money on something that is no better than something that is cheaper, just for the sake of having a name brand.

For business affairs, I pretty much just show up looking decent with a clean polo shirt. It gives a sense that care for a clean, solid appearance, but that I'm also a laid-back, realistic human being. I don't use material fashion to promote myself and I don't plan to. I can use my personality and past experiences to speak for me.

Take your loan scenario for example. I think that by holding a good credit score and history as well as solid work ethnic (if starting a business with said loan) will speak louder volumes than showing up dressed like P.Diddy. If you really must spend lots of money on material things just to have people think that you're something special or so you'll be fashionable, then that's pretty sad. That, by the way, wasn't a direct attack against you. Just in general.

To each their own I suppose.
