Be honest Veeky Forums, how much do you spend on clothes yearly. How much is too much? I have spent about 1200 on clothes alone this year.

too much, my wardrobe is essentially 95% designer
also pay a lot for alterations and dry cleaning especially

Was gonna buy some pants this year but time got away from me :/ Don't think I will, can just do some alterations to existing pieces.

So far: $10 on wool socks

Hoping to buy $20 of leather to make shoes, if that counts.

I'm a student. I make 20k a year. I'd say I spend 7.5k on clothing/shoes/accessories and grooming per year. I'm guessing though.

Around $500 - $600 maybe?
Almost all of it is spent during the first week of a good sale.
Only buy from retail during sales.

Nice how you manage to earn that while studying?

?

Part time job? Not exactly rocket science, every student has at least 1.

Maybe 2.5k CAD a year, but mainly on big pieces
Probably gonna spend wayy more this year though cause I have extra dosh

Want to get a part time but I know I probably won't have enough time because of school. It'd be trill to just make 5-7k and spend on clothes which should be easy to find but I probably can't make the time (study Chemistry and Pharma at a top 25 uni worldwide so I'm fucking struggling mane)

At least I managed to make like 2.5k this summer, but I might throw it in a fund with other savings

I've been unemployed for the past 3 years (signed off on the sick for 2), so very little.
This year I've probably spent about £100-150 on clothes so far since I've decided I need to get out of my depression and look good again.

Considering everything I bought in July was easily $1000, I'd say I'm spending way too much in a year.

But I'm trying to stop nickel and diming myself with cheap, "trendy", or fast-fashion pieces. I got rid of way too much garbage at a yard sale that I've accumulated in the past few years.

Hope things work out for you mate. What have you bought?

i use 70% of my monthly 190€ income on fashion pieces. that means i always save around 130€ and every 2 months i buy a pair of pants, a jacket, or whatever

I am a bit poor because I am on disability, so I can barely just manage to even pay my bills. Occasionally I buy things on sale, but is always super cheap stuff (because nobody wants it).

to make shoes.
lul
u will fail
u can make a scaef i guess though

i guess a job at the company of his father. ehhm self earned i meant. truely sucessfull young people

anorexic right?

I honestly think up to 1000 is a sweet spot for it. Get a part time job man shits good. I am still studying and I make 500 smacks on the bum a week

Even worse, autistic. What did you expect?

I appreciate the nice!
I've bought 2 pairs of skinny fit chinos (khaki and grey/black/white army pattern).
A Central Perk Friends t-shirt.
A pack of boxer shorts (6 pack multi-colours).
A pair of jeans (slim fit, actually really fucking nice).
A plaid shirt.
2 long sleeve t-shirts/polo shirts.

I'm a cheap fuck, I'll hunt around until I can get everything I want cheaper than normal price...
Everything I've bought recently should total to about £400 but I got it all for about £150 so I'm happy.
The key is watching the Amazon prices almost on a daily and getting the shit when it's at the absolute lowest price.
A few years ago I got a pair of Yves Saint Laurent jeans and a polo shirt for £40 for both when it was meant to be £200 for both... just gotta watch the prices.

u must be pretty autistic to get disabbility. i am on lvl where i wouldnt get shit but life is hard anyway. light autism, dyspraxia, light dyslexia, social anxiety. ehhhhh just wake me up

I was just diagnosed with high-functioning autism (still called that back then) and depression. I got a university degree but never really worked since I applied for disability and have received it for about three years now. But because autism cannot be cured, and on top of that my social anxiety is extreme when I meet those government doctors, they often tend to think I am a hopeless case. I am "unfit for work" for at least two other years. Well I can get a job obviously if I want to, but working is horrible and the most stressful thing on Earth and the thought itself makes me want to die.

you realize you can make 20k working a part time right?

i know man. shit is scary. i cant drive cars or use heavy machinery cuz i have laggs in my brian and cant concentrate. i got ssris and they help with depression and anxiety a bit. but you should try to get a job at family if u can i guess. like than u know u wont be fired and anxiety isnt trough the the roof 24 7. but i guess that isnt an option for u like for most of us without wealthy families. i hope u wont get nuts sitting at home. just study another major i guess, forced routine is very good in my experience

u cant. not legally. or if u are working at dads

I've definitely cut back this year but have spent about 500 on sneakers and about 100 on tees. Will be getting a Canada Goose parka later though, once they come in stock at the store I like

This year, probably 400-500?

I'd say over 2k is quite a bit, unless you aren't getting anything secondhand. I've been watching sales at therealreal and then just getting pieces altered to fit.

are you fucking retarded?
i guess your english already confirmed that, actually

About $150-$500, depending on whether or not I buy boots that year.

In Switzerland you can

i spent at least 2-3k last fall winter season. only spent like 300 this season. depends on the season. there was basically nothing i wanted this time around. generally only spend money on clothes for winter because i dont see the point of buying nice clothes to turn them into sweat rags all summer

you should look into nanamica's down coats

>reading replies in this thread
>tfw spend easily 1k /month
im not wasting my money r-right guys...
i do sell most of my wardrobe regularly though so i get a lot of it back

i'm in the same boat even though i only buy used help

Yeah I bet they're dope. I have been thinking about going up to (((Toronto))) this fall to shop, they have some cool looking streetwear boutiques. The only place I know of in the Midwest that has Nanamica is Mildblend in Chicago, and they just have bags

It varies. I bought some Wolverine 1k boots, a Barbour jacket, several fairly expensive shirts and jeans all in a month last year, but then I haven't bought any new clothes this year.

That said, I am planning on getting a Harrington, a Leather jacket and some nice knitwear soon, so that'll cost me a lot.

assuming you have a marketable skill that pays above minimum wage:
($15/hr*avg 30hrs/wk)*52 weeks = $23,400/yr (before taxes)
or with slightly lower pay + more hours:
($12/hr*avg 35hrs/wk)*52 weeks = $21,840/yr (before taxes)

or even lower pay, and then taking the avg number of weeks in 2 semesters a year with 30hrs/wk, and then full time (40hrs/wk) during the weeks off school:

(($10/hr*30hr/wk)*32)+($10/hr*40hr/wk)*20 weeks)) = $17,600 (before taxes)

So we found out it's possible, but harder near the avg minumum wage / work-study wage of $10.

just graduate and get a salaried full time job. it's only 3-5 years.

you niggas worry me. class division is getting harder. seriously I love fashion too but this shit is eat well or be hungry and well dressed.
jobs are not paying better, shit is still very fucked up.

probably about $800 in a normal year

i lost about 60 pounds this summer though so i have had to buy all new clothes, think ive spent 3 or 4 thousand including work clothes
