I believe that the reason why people love brands so much is because it shows us our status in society. We want to make ourselves look good, and what better way to do it than to buy the brands we know are well-loved?
There are certain brands that have made a name for themselves, like Apple and Nike, who have taken over the world. So many people recognize these brands and their products; they notice them without having to even mention the words "Apple" and "Nike". People automatically know that you're holding an iPhone based on the shape or wearing Free Runs because of Nike's famous checkmark logo.
The thing that I have noticed about brands is that we use them to define others. If someone has a Louis Vuitton bag or a 2013 Ferrari, we assume that they have a lot of money. It doesn't necessarily mean that they do though. By purchasing certain brands, we can change the way others view about ourselves.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way. I think that many people buy certain brands for different reasons, such being that 1) they have always bought the same brand and have never thought about switching to something else, 2) they buy whatever is cheapest, 3) they make good quality clothing, etc. This is something to think about: why do you buy the brands you do?
