> 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.

Stitch Fix offers that
That seems to be picking out clothes for you to buy? Rental expensive formal clothes for special occasions is obviously a thing. But as with many other things, the overhead of renting stuff for day to day use just doesn't work for most cases.

that doesn't seem possible. If you get a pair of pants, a shirt and shoes it's very likely you are already above $150. Never mind jackets, underwear and other stuff.

I live in the following: - 2 pairs of jeans, on rotate - About 20 t-shirts - 20-ish sets of underwear + socks - About 3-4 sweaters/jumpers/hoodies - 1 pair of boots - 1 pair of worn out trainers That's basically it. Some of my t-shirts are over 15 years old, in fact 99% of what I wear is over 3 years old. Spending over $500 in a year on clothing is totally alien to me!

There’s a weird thrill I get in the morning knowing that this is one less decision.
Amazing that there are just off the shelf nfc tags shaped like clothing buttons.
Wouldn't they trigger the detectors at stores?
A 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.

I think the key is to find something that is not 100% cotton but rather 50% cotton/50% polyester. Looking at the material difference between the shirts I've purchased, the Gildan heather colors are 50/50 where as the the other colors are either 100% cotton or 90/10. By comparison, the Dickies heavyweight and Carhartt heavyweight are 50/50 and 60/40 material.
