How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by drfomsky(f): 11:24am On Nov 05, 2011
Would you spend 16,000 naira on a pair of trousers or jeans? I'm just wondering. It seems on the high side to me?

My sister, it's not on the high side at all. Depends on what you want - and what you can possibly afford. Some people spend obscene amounts on clothing - amounts that look like telephone numbers angry.

You'll also notice that the items of clothing that cost you higher tend to last longer and they appear sharper too.

To someone who wears, say N3,500 pants, your N16k stuffs will seem super-nice - but they won't be able to guess the cost. And to someone who wears N65k pants, your 'expensive' N16k pants look like sack-cloth.

Depends on my budget actually and the value i'm getting but it's most likely not going to worth that amount
or I might be able to find a cheaper option with the same value.

And sometimes it could just be a cheap jean from an expensive store/seller.

If the cost is because of just the name on it then NO! nobody will be able to know it
costs that much when i'm wearing it.

If they can tell and an occasion demands it, why not.

@Chisom, I'm sure you won't want to be seen with someone wearing a N1500 denim from MM except the dude or girl is your driver.

Deception, wake up and smell the coffee, some items of clothing are overpriced!

16k trouser? Does it have bluetooth and ATM? It seems high for just a trouser. . .and my trousers are made by my tailor, I don't buy them, and it costs around 2k. I'm not a fashion freak.
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by Mojibola(m): 12:22pm On Nov 07, 2011
You dressing can worth only N5000 and pple'll think it N50k, all na packaging. Correct combination lo le se wink wink
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by RickyRoss1(m): 12:29pm On Nov 07, 2011
Can spend as much as 20k and above on a pair of Jeans depending on my budget and mood.
Go to the Palms in Lekki, some of the shops are selling designer jeans 50k and above.
To be honest any jeans trouser below 5k is usually made in Onitsha or China made. The cheapest quality jeans in PHC starts from 10k upwards depending on the boutique.

This is another deception, I bought a jeans here in UK for £7, equivalent to =N=1750 and wore it to an informal social gathering, several people esp. ladies complimented my dressing and emphasized about the jeans. So when i hear people buy £150 jeans I ask myself if they had amnesia while paying!
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by dipo1: 1:01pm On Nov 07, 2011
Really, a pair shouldn't cost more than 10K. Ceiling. In Ikeja, u won't find an original pair for nytin less than 5k anyways
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by Nobody: 1:37pm On Nov 07, 2011
Its funny, most of my jeans and panes are N16,000 each, and I have about 10 of them. My shoes average 14k each. Depends on where you shop, but here in VI, some people even ship their own personal cloths from US, depends on your class and pocket sha
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by rhymz(m): 1:41pm On Nov 07, 2011
Na only boys wey dey carried away by fashion brand go dey buy pants for 10K and above. For what na? It is way better to get the quality of the material you want and head straight to a very good tailor, everything should cost nothing more than 4k if na just one pant u wan sew but if e plenty like I always do both with troussers and shirts the cost should be way less. I think Aba has one of the best tailors when it comes to nicely fitted shirts and troussers both for formal occassions and casual outing. Why will I buy a shirt or pair of pants for such a ridiculous amount just because they are branded with the tags of known designers, rubbish!! Nigerians and their need to prove something sha. . .suddenly, nobody here wears pants or shirts that cost 1500 or 2k, or even the mass produced chinese and malaysian jeans that has flooded our market. Me I dey wear them very well and they look very good and fit fine. If dem no take my shape well, I give it to my tailor to amend it to my size. God forbid I go carry aka kporo 10k or 15k go buy troussers say wetin happen na?? Am I working just to wear over-hype and overpriced designer labelled clothes. . Scheeeew. , that is lack of creativity jor, I don't fancy designers, I am more into quality and fitting clothes not neccessarily who designed them. May be for wrist watches and shoes I could spend that much but for mere troussers and shirts I could easily copy their designs(i do that a lot. . Lol) and material quality and send it to my tailor in Aba, why waste so much money

The highest I've spent on jean is 16,500k from Energy jean makers,a designer brand,I buy most of my jeans and pants from them,though most I have from of them are within 5k and 8k.
Its not all about the price but the quality,there's no jean I have from energy that people don't ask where I got them from and compliment.
I also have the ones I buy from okrika AKA bend down select,these ones cost highest 1,200 naira,but they are of very good stock too,like someone said its all about packaging and combination,if I wear my 1,200 jean combine am finish,my friends keep asking which label is this?I just smile and say,you won't know him,he's kinda new. grin

I bought a pair of True Religion jeans for $319 (~NGN 50k) and I would have derived more satisfaction from burning the money. I’ve worn it twice and it is absolute crap!

Don't you think the pair of jean you get for 10K could be of the same quality with the one I get for 3K in Ariaria? Most times, supermarkets inflate the prices of their goods to give their customers the impression that they are buying quality. . .

i stopped believin such crap when i bought a replacement battery for my nokia n73 phone back then at nokia shop at sharif plaza abj for 4000 and it was fake. The battery didnt last 5min before switchin off.
Re: How Much Could You Spend On A Pair Of Trousers? by drfomsky(f): 3:23pm On Nov 07, 2011
I guess it depends on one's pocket and also what someone deems expensive. I figure that even if you can afford it but feel it's too way over the top, you wouldn't go for it. undecided
