Why does Vans have no creative direction in terms of clothing, it is all so plain especially when it’s taken into consideration that VF corp owns brands such as Supreme who are skater oriented as well with much better quality of designs.
As the company is falling off I’m wondering if they will try to branch out.
I love the socks and beanies from vans. I got a hoodie from there once and it was huge on the actual hood part. Have a few shirts and they all fit pretty normal. All the flannels fit perfectly on me. I think it really depends on what certain clothes you get. Feel like in my experience it’s all a mixed bag
good question for these last few years lol
To add to this, their collabs have been wack AF. Like really, a Haribo gummy bear collab?! Who asked for that shit?
Not to mention the recent collab with disney was awful too.
I think that was really cool lol
I believe collabs are paid for by collaborator so haribo asked and paid for the vans lmao
Yeah it’s just rehashed t-shirts and straight up boring jackets that are basically wind breakers
Yes!! I used to work at Vans and the only slightly interesting thing we ever had clothing wise was the Lazy Oaf collab. I was obsessed with Vans at the time but rarely ever wore the clothes because it was so damn boring
Agreed! That collab made me fall in love with vans in HS! Still searching for the platform oldskools at a decent price 😭😭
I wish their clothes fit better too.
Previously I had a Vans X Thrasher jacket. Size M but feels like S. How tf you make jacket 1 size smaller? I thought the jacket was supposed to be bigger since you layered them.
Should have bought a large
I hate their “square” jackets and winter clothes. They are fucking squared, bot fit at all.
They desperately need to get rid of whoever is in charge of clothing designs
Creative wise they are questionable, but sometimes I just want a simple long sleeve tee, and theirs happen to fit me really well, and most are fair quality for the price (I always buy them on sale or clearance).
I personally like Vans clothes
I’m just tired of a big stiff cotton shirt that fits like shit and shrinks a crazy amount. Give me some blends, man!
As a Vans employee, I’m constantly getting asked whether or not our clothes and shoes come from chine because of how slim fitting everything is. I work in an outlet, and seeing some of the random designs and terrible ideas that didn’t sell come into shipment makes my head hurt…
Yeah, I have to agree. I’ve tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but the clothing isn’t really good. The size, dimensions, and no matter how you preserve a shirt, it always gets this weird back hanging thing. The collared shirts will also betray you at some point.
How i feel about the shoes 🙁😞
I love their clothes actually :)
Their pants fit me really well it’s also one of the few brands I can get in my si3
I got a steal on Vinted for a pair of relaxed authentic chinos in black…they are so cool…they’re a little ginormous on me, regular size, but fit much bigger in the waist than slim fit chino in the same size. It’s an interesting style and nothing that a belt can’t fix…
Supreme designs aren’t even that good. People will buy anything with that name on it
Also being described as “skater oriented” is pretty funny
Yup, just like any upscale brand. The clothes are usually ugly as fuck too
When compared with Vans they have a lot more variety.
No they don’t lol and who in their right mind is gonna buy a tshirt for $100+ besides hype beasts and kids with their parents credit cards
Supreme tees are $40
