Not sure if it's just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits...

Isn't that true of anything that is actually low quality textile with a big logo on it? If you actually care about clothes and the way they look you don't want some big dumb word written on your body. Unless. You are like the guy in the picture and being paid to wear a shirt like that, don't do free advertisement for these sweatshops.

Boss, LV, Gucci - all those "Luxus" brands tbh.

Their only selling factor is that they are too expensive for really poor people to buy.

Their quality is medium at best

Boss is considered luxury?
In Germany it's just considered a better mid quality...

Yeah they are not part of the very expensive luxury lineup for sure - but their point of sale is pretty similar imho

Don't they do both? Like they have the big-logo stuff for the wannabes that is just overpriced H&M, but don't they also make actual nice suits and stuff.

According to my mother (I am not that much into clothing lol) they have both lines for sale.

They’re not for rich people, they’re for people who want to look rich

You could extend that remark to any clothes prominently displaying pretty much any brand as far as I'm concerned. You're paying extra for the privilege of being a walking advertisement.

A lot of these fashion labels have just killed their brands by pushing out massive numbers of cheap diffusion lines.

The highest self-esteem is probably achieved by being a trans girl pre Estrogen and wearing comfortable clothes.
