Keeping tags on clothes?

[NikiM20]

I have noticed lately that alot of people around here are leaving tags on hats, shirts, etc. Is this a new style? I have also noticed stickers such as on collegiate clothing being left on. I have seen this in numerous places, at first I thought the tag was overlooked

so what am I missing?

I've seen the stickers left on hats (the big gold stickers), I think it's a little odd because it's really nothing exciting and it's not like the hats are that expensive or anything (generic or the branded types), that it makes a difference to differentiate.

I've seen it too... it's big here. Those gold stickers left under the bill of the hat, and the tag itself sprouting from the top of the hat.

What does that mean? "I bought this hat. See. It has a tag on it."

Sounds like people are using Minnie Pearl as their style icon. Yikes!

LOL That what I thinking as well

Either that or they are wearing the clothes a few times before they decide whether or not to return it.

That is very likely as well. I think it's a growing trend to wear your clothes a couple of times then if you don't like them take them back

It's been a style here for quite a while (at least a couple of years). Some of the time it is to show other people the price, especially when it is expensive - it's used essentially for bragging rights. It's also because people buy the clothes, wear them once and then return them. Some people don't like to wear the same clothes twice, and this "saves them a lot of money" They buy the clothes, wear them once, return them, buy something else, wear them once, return them, etc.

I only know this because I flat out asked someone that was in one of my classes in high school a couple of years ago and that was his response.

I actually saw a man at WDW with a hat on like that and his son had the jeans on with the tag. Not sure what it means, though.

I went ahead and looked it up. According to askjeeves, "There are some that do it to show you the name brand, some do it to return the item later after wearing it." Not sure if I would believe that but who knows.

So it seems like alot of people see this but noone knows why

The people who did it in my high school did it for exactly that reason. They wore the clothes once then returned them. They didn't like being seen in the same clothes twice.

About 7 years ago I was in Aldi's and a guy came up to me and asked me if I wore a size 10. I reached around and realized I had a size 10 sticker plastered to my butt, and I was so embarrassed. I had no idea I was a trend setter!

Sheesh. Back in the olden days, if you were going to return the item after one wearing (fancy dress, for example), at least those unethical folks had the decency to hide the tag, tucked inside somewhere.

A modeling agency actually recommended to my daughter to buy clothes for different projects and then return them after the project is over. This if for things like the models that hand out fliers at conventions, etc. I told her that she will never do that. In my opinion, it is just wrong.

So NOW I know why they do it!!

People actually wear the clothes, as in not just try them on, before you wash them?
