When you love, you don't count! My own amount is relatively high but then there are MC guys who get bespoke shoes and suit all the time so I guess I'm thrifty compared to some.

i just went over my amex statements from the last 3 years. all my clothing purchases go on it:

2006-8.3k

2007-13.5k

2008-5.2k

was much more responsible in 08!

Does your wife spend as much money as you do on clothing?

 

[thekunk07]

no, she's probably spent 3k total the last 3 years.

Does your wife feel threatened by how much you spend on clothing when it's compared to her numbers?

 

[thekunk07]

she wears a bit of marc jacobs but mostly j. crew and banana. she is kinda preppy and that's what she likes. not a big clotheshorse.

 

[slappysloopy]

I spend around 25% of my wages on clothes. About 150 a month. I make ****.

 

[mainy]

My main problem is I have loads of crap I don't even wear
I have a ton of money tied up in stuff I never wear for one reason or another. I need to work on getting rid of it but I already have piles of **** I need to sell, and have no time

basic rundown of stuff I actually wear:

6-7 button down shirts, all polo by ralph, tailored
maybe 10 tshirts i wear often, mostly raf by raf, gstar, diesel
6 hoodies.... 3 w+h, 1 raf by raf, 2 jcrew
polos.... maybe 5 rl custom fit, 5 lacoste

jeans...3 pairs, 2 i actually wear - RRL, somets, w+h

shoes...prob 4-5 pairs of sperrys in diff colors, few pairs of AF1's, marc jacobs, CN, some other design sneakers... prob have lke 15 pairs total. dress shoes, a couple AE and J&M's, just stuff I thrifted

I have a bunch of jackets, 3-4 track jackets I never wear, a khaki military jacket i wear a lot, probably 4-5 coats.

not much in the way of sweaters, don't really wear them a ton.

essentially I've spent a lot of money and still am not quite sure exactly what I want to look like

yea the feeling has got to suck when youve essentially been throwing all your money in the trash all this time

I purchased three suits the past month because it was on sale and I don't need to wear suits for work. Just biz casual.

 

[wmmk]

Just starting...
2 l/s casual buttondowns x $40 (need 3-5 more this year, will spend more)
4 blank tees x $6 (need more undershirts, these will be even cheaper)
2-3 graphic tees that I actually wear x ~$25
1 pair jeans x $150 (will add 1-3 pair of non-denim pants this, will spend less)
2 pairs sneakers x ~$60
1 pair wingtips x $70
1 peacoat x $80
1 watch x $80
2 scarves x ~$15
1 jacket x $40+however much new buttons & alterations cost
Need to buy ~2 cardis, 2-4 v-neck/crewneck sweaters

I actually don't have enough clothes. Fack.
