Varies, one year I'll spend '000's on tailor-made suits and shirts and then I'll have a quiet year like this one when I may spend $1-2k.
I do like Thomas Pink shirts.

Didn't realize how many gheys were on this forum...spending thousands on clothes? Don't forget to get some moisturizer and tuck the sack back while you're shopping. LMAO.
Leave the fashion to the girls shall we? Just recently hanging out with my friends, this random girl commented on how she loved one of my buddy's jeans. She said they were really cute. He wad ridiculed for the duration of the night and is no longer my friend. GG.

Let me guess, you aren't in a professional field are you? Its tough not to spend a few thousand a year if you wear suits to work everyday. I probably spend 5k ish on clothes and shoes in a year. My wife proabaly spends that on shoes. |

Even with work clothes I try not to spend too much as most of us aren't being reimbursed for buying a nicer suit. I refuse to pay large sums of money to look highly fashionable at work. You'd basically be working for the clothes that you wear to work. Dumb.

That said you don't need to spend a ton of money, but you aren't going to get by on a couple hundred dollars a year, either. The old adage of "Don't dress for the job you have, but for the one you want" is a good bit of advice. |

Probably around $1500 a year.
I buy nice clothing, but I don't go overboard like some of you guys. My rationale is, your appearance is everything. How you dress says a lot about you. If you can afford to drive a BMW then you can afford to wear designer clothes. |

Thinking, or worse, feeling that you do something better because of your attire is absurd. That's like telling a mechanic he can't fix cars because he's not wearing his grease stained jumpsuit. Or an off duty police officer he can't enforce the law because he's not in uniform? No hard feelings, but it astounds me how people view certain topics. Quote:
You're probably a model huh? Cause you would've killed yourself by now if you weren't...

In the corporate world, your appearance is very important, even more so if you travel. For instance, a relative of mine is CFO for a lighting company in Southern California and he travels to his manufacturers for meetings in China several times per year. To be honest, if he showed up in jeans and a t shirt, or even a cheap suit, they wouldn't take him seriously and probably poke fun at him for it....
On the other hand, if I showed up to my job dressed like him, with custom tailored suits and what not, my boss would look like this: |

Buying designer clothes isn't "macho".
It also "doesn't make sense." Furthermore, if you buy nice clothes and you're male, you're "gay". "Instead, spending $45-100k on a car makes more sense." WTF kind of logic is that? |

haha funny shit. If you make the money spend it on what you want. With that being said don't be stupid at the same time. If you are saving (and not just a couple hundred) at the same time no big deal. Just don't live paycheck to paycheck! Don't give advice to people who aren't looking for it!

My gripe isn't with fashion or money, it's how guys these days are so into things that once was considered girly or overly feminine.. Now you have dudes taking care of themselves as much as their gf's do..what's the world coming to?
I'm not saying you have to be a brutish ape who doesn't shower, but cmon. Where does one draw the line? /rant

Funny how lots of people here think that spending a lot of money on clothes makes other people think you're a better person.
Maybe a little, but not $5K/year worth. Grow up, stop listening to the retail salesman and the clothing industry ad men. The people who claim to be doing something productive by buying lots of expensive clothes are lying to themselves; don't lie to other people, too. You're just trying to justify the fist-fulls of money you piss away, for a brief rush of personal pleasure. :finger: |
