In fact, I would consider his wardrobe to only be small/medium sized for someone into fashion.
I’ve spent >35k USD on my wardrobe in the last ~3 years and it feels medium/large sized:
- 2 suits
- ~10 pairs of pants
- ~30 dress shirts
- ~10 knitwear pieces
- ~8 jackets
- 2 pairs of jeans
- ~15 pairs of shoes
- 2 pairs of shorts
- ~10 ties
- Plus a bunch of casual t-shirts (Mostly long-sleeve)
This is only my current wardrobe, not everything I’ve bought.
Why have I spent so much money on these things? Because I had disposable income, I like fashion and I care very much about the quality of my clothes.
Per year spend also feels misleading. I have a big enough wardrobe now that I don’t really feel like I need more. It also means I can rotate stuff very frequently, so nothing will wear out quickly.
My spending is definitely down this year, and will be down even more next year.
Good outwear is super expensive but also the most durable items. Knitwear is also expensive, but can last a long time if you take care of it.
- bombcar 2y agoExactly this if it’s something you enjoy, you can easily spend magnitudes more money than you “need to” - for example I know a number of people who have spent more on power tools than many professional contractors will spend in their lives. They enjoy collecting tools they enjoy having them and they enjoy being ready for anything even if they never really use them. If you have the money and you can afford it and it’s something you enjoy who is it really hurting?
