Lately, I've been wearing clothes with no branding, or at least very light to mostly unnoticable branding. I also avoid clothes with words/sentences, images, icons, etc. Maybe some clothes will have an abstract pattern here and there but subtle.
1) With a brand, you're essentially setting a price on yourself. Maybe a cheap brand is worth $25, a mid-range brand is worth $100, and maybe a high-end brand at $1000. But why set a price on yourself when you can be priceless? With unbranded clothes, it might cost $10 or even $2000, no one would know.
2) More important aspects of fashion are the fit, fabric and colors. Especially the fit. If those are done well, then a $10 unbranded shirt could look like a really expensive shirt.
3) Even within brands, there's not necessarily a guarentee of status or quality. Especially for bigger brands, where there's a big variance in price and quality; two clothes of the same brand can be very different.
4) Do you really want to flex with a high end brand? If you're working to middle class, people will know you're spending a large % of your paycheck just to impress them. And if you're upper class, do you really want to attract people to you that only value you for your money.
5) I like the mystique of being unbranded. Your clothes are subtle and subdued, so that means your face and personality stand out more.
