Thanks for sharing! I think it's pretty interesting to look at cost per wear. Wish I could get the same insights from my wardrobe without all of the effort.

#72> Current Wardrobe Value: $3,907.65 I don't have any friends (and I'm happy with this), so I have no reference: do people normally really spend this much on clothing!? My entire wardrobe is worth around $150, and that's 70% socks.
OP here. The value here is really the price it was when new. Most of the clothes was purchased over the past 10+ years. I didn't buy any new clothes the year prior to this project at all. I spent more in clothes during the project than I had in the prior few years. But I also had lost nearly 50 pounds and my old clothes wasn't really fitting.
I want to make it clear that I'm not criticizing, but genuinely curious. I don't care if people spend their money on clothing. More power to anyone who does and derives joy from it.
Thank you for more clarification, but I'm still curious if you feel this is about average for your social circle or area?

I dress like shit and I have gf. I will go out on a limb and say that it even helped my dating (by weeding out undesirable partners).

Looking good can make an impression that you don't want.

Diminishing returns after a certain price threshold but true still.

For your mood perhaps. I find “good looking” clothing uncomfortable, which makes me feel like shit.

#77A tip: You can buy decent, unbranded t-shirts from places like [0] for low single digit dollars. I finally got tired of every shirt being subtly different, remembering which ones fit which way, and just bought 15 t-shirts. Same model number, same size, assortment of colors. There’s a weird thrill I get in the morning knowing that this is one less decision. [0]: https://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/
The shirts might be under $3, but I wonder what is the human cost?

#78For anyone in the UK, I swear by my army desert socks. Very comfy, very hard-wearing, very tolerant to any kind of laundry cycle. eBay is a good place to start:

It is really more about fit and quality of materials (to a certain price point).

What exactly do you find uncomfortable about them? Genuinely asking. Good looking clothes isn’t necessarily a button up and slacks. You can look great in sweatpants and a t shirt. It’s more about fit, color and general aesthetic.
