7x? I probably have too many clothes - we cull some every year or so, but my wife gets me a couple new things so it almost evens out. But probably half of what I wear in rotation is at least 3-4 years old, and some items closer to 10. I have a few items from 20 years ago, but I don't fit those so well any more (but keep for sentimental issues). That 'rotation' means I wear most of these shirts and pants 20-30x per year, at least. So most of the items I have get a minimum 50+ wearings, many over 100, and they're generally still quite wearable and 'newish' looking. I can not imagine wearing something 7x and claiming it's "old". Sheesh...
- kipchak 4y agoI feel the same way, I think the shirt I have on is probably 5 years old. It doesn't help that "fast fashion" garments are generally lower quality and wears worse than alternatives, but a fair number of people are just done with an outfit after being seen in it a couple times.
- pharmakom 4y agoI actively try to avoid fashion trends and instead buy nice clothes that are difficult to place in time… anything that would look normal in a movie from 50 years ago and 2 years ago is ideal. This ensures that I won’t feel social pressure to replace it before it’s even 5 years old.
