I am just utterly baffled by it all, let’s just say i have a family member who is an out and out snob and very vocal to me about my choice of clothing. This person also considers themselves a fantastic money saver.
I myself, am of an unusual size, just slightly too tall and skinny for off the peg designer stuff in most shops, none of it fits me properly and looks terrible. But i do know shops with off brand stuff that actually fits.
So whenever i buy stuff i like and feel comfortable in, i’m “wasting my money”, but is happy when i pay three times the price for something that doesn’t fit me, is uncomfortable, and can’t actually clean without taking to a dry cleaner so i end up wearing once they seem happy. It drives me up the wall.
I do buy brands i like, eg, converse shoes are oversized compared to all other shoes so i can pick up the largest size in most shops and they fit me, but they aren’t the “right” brand and therefore “a waste of money”. I once spent an entire day trying to find some dress shoes that fit, they cost a fortune, are, tbh, dangerous to wear in real world conditions, and i’ve worn them three times, this, apparently is a good investment. I can’t bloody resell them, wtf?
- digisign 4y agoNot sure what to say besides clothing isn't an investment, but a depreciating asset. Maybe if you're a very public person a good wardrobe would be a business expense. As long as you are buying reasonable quality and comfortable, I don't think an adult has to explain their choices. ;-)
