Yeah that's a huge issue for me - the quality of fakes is very very rarely comparable. That said, the quality of the real thing is sometimes lacking these days too. I bought an Anine Bing t-shirt from their online store and it was so thin and cheap looking.
Without getting all snobby about brands and appearance, I think being able to wear the real thing and people not immediately thinking it's fake is all about your overall look and what else you're wearing. If someone is head to toe in Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior (brands which are all faked on a wide scale) then chances are you're gonna look like you're wearing counterfeit but a Burberry coat worn with an understated outfit and no other loud labels will look great. I saw a lady wearing one the other day with a really simple outfit and she looked so good in it.
