There are so many brands and some many clothes to choose from.
There are so many brands and some many clothes to choose from. How fo you not get addicted or fall into the endless rabbit hole of spending?
t. npc attitude towards clothing where i just buy random cheap shit and wear it until it physically dies
I like wearing $12 costco jeans with a $12 coatco sweater with $2 costco socks with $3 costco underwear with a $3 costco tee shirt with $30 puma sneakers from costco.
Don’t forget the Costco comfy sweatpants for lounging

Let me guess, you *NEED* more?
>Pick one/two brands of OK, mall tier basics that fit you (Levis, LL Bean, J.Crew, Uniqlo)
>Thrift wear needed
>Focus biggest purchases on quality footwear and a few niche, luxury brands to round things out
Bingo. It’s not the approach I took. But it’s one I’d take if starting off.
>thrift
What if the people who worn them shat and pissed in those clothes
This. I’d thrift, but…what if those people shit/pissed/came in those clothes? No thanks.
What if they had a one in a 8 billion genetic skin disease that transmitted from their clothes?
What if they were evil or a fool and you wore the clothes and inherited some karnic transference?
what if we kissed :3
You don’t have to buy the ones with shit and piss and cum on them, I just find that out recently.
you gonna act like you can see molecules ?

>working for and paying fake fiat money for goods with a 1000% profit margin
I have a problem with any company that makes more than a 15% margin.

The only real wealth is land ownership.
Only buy expensive clothes during the end of the year when it becomes really cheap. Quality of them is on par with some $50 tees but ehh you only live once.
It helps if you thrift them. I just got some perfect condition dark wash Levis 517 Bootcut for $6 today.
Only chinks and stupids fall for those expensive brands anon.
That’s probably a 300$ white t-shirt though.
Brad has some nice fades.
i dont buy expensive clothes unless they have a really good design that u’ll never find on cheaper brands. yeah ok ur hermes jacket is worth $2000 but it looks like any other classic jacket, whats the point? ur fit is still nothing special.
really just find a few pieces u really like and then save up and buy them all within a time frame, u dont rlly need more than 5 pieces of outerwear, pants, shoes, sweaters etc to have a very diverse wardrobe. when u get tired of some just resell on grailed and buy new stuff.
the good thing about being a shopping nerd u can regularly get really good deals, wear something for 2-3 years then sell on grailed to some shmuck for more than u paid for it new eventually. i tell people that it’s better to buy a $1000 jacket than 10 fast fashion cheap $100 jackets and they just dont get it. if u got good taste and are patient and savy enough to find the good deals ur hobby pays for itself.
i”ve bought stuff new for cheap then beat it into the ground then sold it for more than i paid for to some guy on grailed so many times, it just so satisfying.
Lowercase opinions are less than worthless.
worthless like ur existence?
Big brands make poorlets seethe uncontrollably so they are kinda based
Not really. They make karens, latinas, and persians go logo loco at the outlet mall though.
You literally are seething lmao
It depends on what you mean by big brands. Stuff like MK, Coach, Gucci, Chanel, Prada you know accessable logos are for that type. Stuff like Tom Ford aren’t in that camp. I once met a homosexual man who would take the caps off of sample perfumes then make them into logo ear rings. If there were one brand I did hate it would be Patagonia because it is made of literal plastic garbage but somehow is supposed to be a good logo.
identify a piece you want and see if you still want it in two or three months. better yet, wait and see if it goes on sale
i tend to use the luck of the draw, where if i still want something by the time it’s on sale AND available in my size then i’ll let myself buy it
just buy reps bro
Maintain a very specific/curated style. If you just buy things impulsively you’ll very easily fall into the rabbithole you mentioned, but if you really think through how often you’d wear a piece you won’t find yourself buying as much. Ask yourself if you already have an item of clothing that achieves something similar or what fits youd make with it.

because most of them are the same chinese trash quality
poorgay cope
>How fo you not get addicted or fall into the endless rabbit hole of spending?
it’s pretty ez, i hate shopping generally and i hate spending money on things made with slave labor specifically so that rules out just about every fashion brand.
I restrict the size of my wardrobe by assigning a particular function to all of my clothes and never allowing myself to have more than one piece that fullfills that task. For example, "white tee with solid black print as an underlayer" would be one. If I ever come across another white tee with a graphic that I feel I absolutely can’t live without, I call to mind the fact that I already have a similar shirt, and if I’m already dissatisfied with that, then buying another one is unlikely to satisfy me any more. This works for me, can’t say that it will work for you
