Something We All Knew Already
Which is better made, the Dhs48 pair of jeans or the Dhs720 pair of jeans?

Re: Something We All Knew Already
I must admit to spending more than I should over the years on clothes and occasionally still do,recently I bought some jeans and t's from tesco thinking they would be good for work as I was away from home and not taken enough clothes and they were a good fit and are still in good nick and I have worn them while out in Dubai.
As Dubai is so expensive and not even the latest range I have started buying mid range priced clothing with the occasional replay and boss which still attract me in when I am vulnerable(usually pay weekend or duty free)
In the uk I find people more judgemental about clothing,but saying that I dont get out enough in dubai so maybe thats why.

Yeah...I get two week knees when buying expensive watches - usually end up getting scratched.

Re: Something We All Knew Already
The odd thing about Dubai is that despite all the flash and glam and superficiality, I dress far less expensively here than I did in the UK or the States.
I have a wardrobe full of expensive shirts and shoes that I never wear except when there's a business meeting. Back home I've got loads of expensive jumpers and polar fleeces and outdoor gear that I obviously never wear.
Out here my standard work kit is a pair of khakis and a faded cotton shirt (still neatly ironed by the maid, but still). Weekend means spending all day in salt-stained bathing trunks or khakis and a t-shirt and flip flops.
In two years in Dubai I might have bought perhaps two clothing items out here.

There's nothing like a tailor-made shirt. For under eighty dirhams too....

Re: Something We All Knew Already
it's nothing to do with the clothes and everything to do with the colour, I am going to be training to become a Colour Analysist with a company called House of Colour, get the right colours and you will always look good (gift vouchers available for the lady/man in your life)

just been reading their website, sounds like a bit of a scam type thing to me...
anyway, as far as I am concerend, it's everything to do with the clothes and what bodytype you are and far less about the actual colour...and furthermore, all colours come in many many different shades, red isn't just red...and most people will not be able to find the right shade of the colours that suits them, even if they have had training...you really need to have an eye for the actual nuance, the undertone, of the colours which is something that is very hard to learn...

The different seasons tend to dress and look better in different styles. I look better wearing 5 different colours blended, Atilla looks better in blocks of colour as he is a Winter. It really is quite interesting when you get into it.
edited to add - learning the colours is quite easy as you get a swatch of all your colours and at what percentages you should wear them.
