Yea but this is unfair you can make cool stuff yourself. Huge loophole
Hah, yes, fair point. Part of the reason I don't want to buy much clothes is because none of it fits as well as the stuff I make myself. I can't make knitwear, underwear, or socks. Yet. Edit: and suits, but I never wear suits.Yea but this is unfair you can make cool stuff yourself. Huge loophole
What can I say? My junk works and I have no self control.
Seriously though, the four college years (first one is done minus a credit), during which two will overlap, will be grim in the discretionary spending department. Canadian schools are at least somewhat reasonably priced for citizens and residents though.
That joke seriously dates us both.
I think there's a few ways you can go about enjoying clothing. You could try developing a more novel personal style, which may be costumey to some people just because it won't be a bland amalgamation of currently on-trend norms, but it could bring some measure of individualistic satisfaction. You could take what you've ended up with, cull a vast majority of weak pieces and just refine what you're left with so you're uniform ends up always being what you feel is your best of the best reflecting current trends. Or you could go down a more collector's route, honing in on rare pieces from whatever brands you like and finding enjoyment in the curation and appreciation of a designer or brand's work. I don't think any of these options are better or worse than one another, but they might be more fulfilling than the scenario you described with a large collection of pieces you're not wearing while not feeling "dialed in" each day you go out. The fact you are already considering your lifestyle and body type makes the first two options quite achievable at least. Almost all of us here have spent a lot of time and effort, if not money, on clothing consumerism. I think that it should be possible through applied consideration of one of these strategies to end up with an enjoyable relationship with clothing.
I'd ne interested to see how these size.
