Outside tags...please PLEASE remove!!
Yes, designer clothing wearing folks: The outside tag with the name of your favourite designer should and is meant to be removed before you put on your beautiful, incredibly expensive, crisp, new suit or coat. I can't stress that enough!

If you want people to know you paid big bucks for your jacket, leaving the tag on for the world to see is not the way to go. Quality fabric, excellent craftsmanship and a good fit will speak volumes on how fantastic your piece of garment is and will lead people to think you paid an arm and a leg for it. Subtlety is key.
100% of the time, designer pieces will have plenty of indications that they are designer. For example, you'll find that the brand name is engraved into the buttons or the logo is embroidered somewhere on the article of clothing. And very often, designer pieces have their signature style.
I'm even making this topic a post because I'm so appalled by the number of times I see people walking around with tags like the one pictured above still stitched on. I've even had confused young males ask me if these tags are supposed to stay on.
Also, basting stitches found on jacket back vents are also meant to be taken off! Most jacket pockets are stitched closed to minimize sagging and bulk... THAT is okay to leave on because nobody sees those.
And that's how you'll look cool.
For those of you who were wondering, I hope this helped!
