It doesn't make sense to me, as they spend considerably more time in their work clothes than they do in their weekend/going out clothes.
Personally, for EVERYTHING in my life, I don't see the point in not having the best. I needed some sneakers, that I'll barely wear, still, bought common projects. Needed some casual outerwear, bought TOJ. Needed a bag for uni, bought a Filson.

Well I think the point is that "the best" is invariably much more expensive than "ok" or even "very good". You're going to run out of money very quickly if you stick to that rule.
Amending that policy to "the best I can afford in the areas of my life that are most important to me" makes a lot of sense and is more servicable. I am on barely more than minimum wage at the moment yet own a pair of Edward Greens and my Suit Shop Suit gets comments and compliments were ever I go and looks/feels better than the $2000+ Armani or Burberry OTRs that my superiors wear. On the other hand I drive a beat up old POS car, almost all my household goods come from Ikea, I travel on the slimmest of shoestrings etc etc.
While these are both true, I like to quote what a wise man once told me;Obviously, you should only buy the best if you can afford to. Common sense comes into play here.

"Much can be said for going without while you wait for what you want or which is truly best".
Things like this, are subjective. The best "food" or meal in my humble opinion is Hungry Jack's TenderCrispTM CheesyBacon Burger. I'd eat it for Breakfast, Lunch and Tea if I could, and it wasn't so unhealthy. Two of these Sunday morning is more than enough.I hope you apply this rule to home ownership, higher education, healthcare and fine dining.
You'll starve to death before you can afford the 'best' food; you'll be homeless for a life time until you can afford the 'best' house.
Logic, Adam, 'cmon bro.

The logical extension to this takes something of a middle road between the two philosophies, although it can be seen as a soft approach - the car I own is the best because it is the one that gets me to work each day, the house I'm buying is the best because it will be the one earning me an income etc. where other examples which may be more aesthetically pleasing, better constructed or have more prestige attached do none of those things.I hope you apply this rule to home ownership, higher education, healthcare and fine dining.

You're right. I believe I worded it wrong. Basically, I just like to spend my money wisely and not waste it on throw away cheap stuff. I don't like buying things and having to replace them, Technology is the only exception.Its **** like this which gives us Gen Y's such a bad reputation
Plenty of twats who don't wear bow ties M-F (judgemental much?)Controversial statement #41235767
If you're under the age of 45, not gay, and are regularly wearing a bowtie to a corporate work environment on a ******* average Monday to Friday... Then you're a bit of a twat.
Debate that SF.
