Sometimes you find great style and places you'd least expect
it. At the start of my first term at university I noticed that the guy in the
room next to me had an amazing plaid shirt. When I asked him where he had got
it I was stunned by his response. He bought it in Primark for £6. I noticed
something interesting as soon as I knew the shirt was from Primark it certainly
seemed less desirable. It's amazing how much influence the brand name can have
on the desirability of a product.
However I went into Primark anyway, and I was soon the owner
of two very nice plaid shirts. The thing to take from this is that I never
would have guessed that the shirt was from Primark and that despite being from
a low end store it was still a good shirt. So exercise a little bit of student
economics and look around for the bargains that are to be had. Instead going
into a big brand store and paying a lot of money for something that really
isn't all that different to what you can get from somewhere like Primark. I'm
not saying that you should always take the cheaper option and you should
definitely splash out on your investment pieces but when we're talking about
casual shirt it doesn't seem to make sense to spend a fortune on it when you
can get something that is perfectly adequate for half the price.
