Very interesting thread (one minor derailment aside).
I have to say, in general, I agree with the OP's proposition. Not because of any preference for a 'lived-in look' (if you take care of your clothes and yourself, the former won't looked lived-in) but because a big wardrobe invites variety for varierty's sake. Having a small wardrobe, for whatever reason, forces you to conentrate on what you like and on what suits you. The results will generally be better.
Typically, Parker got there before me:
I guess one could do this with a large wardrobe, but it would probably work better (or just as well) with a smaller one. This restrained approach narrows one's style identity, so probably won't work for those who are more experimental or like to express different identities.

Too many options can lead to bad combos. I think the key to looking good as often as possible is to acquire things that can be mixed with most of your other things easily.
