Wow. I buy one pair of jeans per year, I now have three pairs. This year I've bought exactly 2 t-shirts on vacation in Spain. I cannot imagine spending so much on clothing, that just seems.. overkill. Where do you put it all???
- dan-robertson 2y agoMaybe one thing is that price per item can vary a lot, eg a $50 coat isn’t going to take 60 times less space than a $3k coat so it’s possible to spend a lot more without using lots more space. That said, the author doesn’t seem to be buying wildly expensive items. I assume they get through with something like an ordinary sized wardrobe and chest of drawers, plus some kind of shoe storage near a door. And I guess they dispose of things that are unused or too worn.
- Molitor5901 2y agoI have one modest closet, one chest of drawers, and my wife has the same with a little more; shoes.. What struck me was that this was his clothing purchases in a single year. That's a lot of buying and disposing, which results in .. disasters like the mountain of discarded clothes you can see from space in the Chilean desert https://www.wired.com/story/fashion-disposal-environment/ https://www.wired.com/story/fashion-disposal-environment/
- ZephyrBlu 2y agoWhen you spend this much money on clothes and shoes it’s not for functional reasons. Also, you keep it in your wardrobe. Do you not have a wardrobe?
