Took advantage of many of the sales during COVID times, from hard-pressed retailers. Def bought more.
Money usually spent on work clothes (suits and dress shoes) now being spent on casual stuff for WFH (selvedge jeans and boots).
I've bought some WFH clothes (Lululemon pants) but not much else. I'd say the one thing I've noticed is how small my wardrobe has become day to day as I WFH. Most weeks I'll wear t shirts, hoodies and sweat pants, unless I have meetings in which case it's pants and a nice sweater. But 75% of my closet, including boots, socks, workout clothes, dress clothes, jackets, etc. are unused. I've probably worn 25 different articles of clothing in the past year. I also do laundry way more often because I dont care if my t shirts and WFH clothing gets ruined/shrinks. Anyone else doing the same? Puts into perspective how much clothing I actually dont need...
So I think the more interesting conversation topic is what is on everyone's buy list for SS21?
I'm the same in that I've seen myself wearing less of my wardrobe, but I've noticed that I don't need to use the washing machine as often given the smaller rotation. I almost never wear anything that requires dry cleaning.
I'll still wear my casual button-ups on some days, along with my long sleeve Uniqlo tees. Sometimes, I'll throw on a cardigan if it's a little chillier. Pants are almost exclusively chinos and easy pants now. Wearing my "nicer" stuff has become more of a conscious decision: I find myself reaching for my Uniqlo or other old mall brand stuff more often than not, and then go "yeah it's chilly, might as well wear my Margaret Howell or Junya Watanabe cardigan now".
I kinda went nuts buying clothes and shoes during the Spring/Summer last year, but I started spending less once Fall hit, to the point where I've now made no clothing/shoe purchases since January 4th. I've been able to enjoy wearing the clothes I already have a little more as a result. Like maebach, it reinforced the idea that I really don't need a good chunk of the stuff I already have. I've also lost weight since the pandemic began, and some piece that didn't fit well fit a lot better now.
Every year, I tell myself I need two pairs of pants - one in beige/tan, and one in white or stone. And every year, I buy yet another floral camp collar shirt or another reversible kimono jacket from Blue Blue Japan. What are priorities? (Admittedly, I'm eyeing a couple floral camp collared shirts right now...)
A pair of casual loafers would be nice too. Too bad Castaner don't work for my feet.
I'm getting into the camp collar shirts, any suggestions?
My big purchase this year was a pair of Alden 968. Been craving a pair of NSTs for a while!

If you're in Barrie and need Saphir products, I would highly recommend Fix-Em-Up Shoe Repair. Corey is an A+ dude.
