Back in '03-'04 when reselling shoes that were limited was really lucrative, there was a guy who unloaded his 'inventory' and bought a new 7 series with the money, heh. |

Hey, I have to meet people in real life. So, spending money on clothes isn't silly especially if the style of the clothing isn't too trendy. Clothes are an investment and I try to buy quality and classic styles so they will last a long time. What's the point of a decent car if you don't have some decent clothes? Kids in Canada at schools spend on average 500 dollars a year for clothes and many of these kids don't even have jobs. Looking decent is quite important for most jobs such as anything that is work ready which is the clothes I tend to buy.
I just wanted to find out how many other people spend to get an idea if I'm spending too much. |

BS. The denim is no better, in fact, it's crap in the pricey jeans. I've seen a few guys wear old (aka last season) lucky's or 7's or diesel jeans to work in, and the tear or rip the first time. Those jeans are crap. A good pair of levis or carharts are a much more durable jean than the fashion crap. They may not look as good, but I don't give a shit - I can't get my calf into a pair of the fashion jeans.

I maybe go shopping once every 1.5 to 2 years. Maybe $500-$1500 when I do. My parents usually get me gift cards, or buy me a few shirts (casual and work) for my bday and Christmas.
Speaking of which, I need some jeans and loads of new work clothes. As well as some new dress shoes. |

I buy AnF jeans because they fit well and are super durable. Then again I haven't bought a pair of jeans in over 3 years now. I buy most of my clothes non retail (shorts/shirts from Calle Soccer, shirts from uneetee/threadless/designs by humans etc.) I have only bought 2 shirts retail in the past 2 years, and those were from da Buckle. Oh yeah, I spend about $500 a year

I used to go crazy buying $500 shoes and $200 jeans, etc but I've curbed my spending the last year.
Maybe like $600 total, this year, got a steal on a Brioni blazer and some shoes. Guess I could also factor in my trail running and tennis shoes. I am shopping around for a nice leather coat and a wool topcoat however so that may add another $1000 or so to that sum. I had to resist buying another pair of shoes and a suit at the recent 60% off + 25% family and friends at BB recently.
