    I feel comforted that I'm a muppet who wouldn't actually spend £200 on sunglasses. I'm never going to buy the real thing, and I would be quite happy with the Aliexpress item sans branding.

    But I'm not wearing fake things because I think it makes me look cool / other people won't notice.

    @branwen: But you did decide to buy a fake item rather than either the real thing, a cheaper branded alternative whether Oakley or not, or generic. Why is that?

    People buy fakes, myself included, because you want something that does the job and looks cool but for 1/10th the price of the genuine product.

    I think this is the only honest answer. The other justifications seem well, a bit contrived. And Oakley is just one example.
