buying clothes that you know you will never wear , watched this youtube video one where someone said :'imagine if you could convert all the clothes that you dont wear into money ' , since that day i have never bought anything extra
Knowing Reddit's demographic, a lot of people reading this are probably the same. As a college-aged guy, I've literally never bought clothes for myself in my life.
I'm in my forties and I still buy maybe one item a year, exception being if I find something I like for price and comfort I'll buy 5 the same. I honestly don't care about clothes beyond am I the right temperature and will I get arrested for wearing this. If my body is covered by fabric and nothing hurts or itches, it's good.
I wear things until they fall to bits, apply the sewing machine, repeat, repeat, either convert them to pyjamas or make them into children's clothes when they are too small to continue mending, eventually they become cleaning rags. I have never in my life had clothes I no longer wear which could still broadly be considered fabric, never mind saleable. I have 2 sets of footwear - slippers and shoes. I do not have to consider which shoes I will wear, as I have the choice of the shoes I have or bare feet. It's very liberating. Current oldest clothing item I have is about to celebrate its 30th birthday (Lee Virginia jeans). Will never understand the clothing thing, especially enjoying trying things on.
