Few years ago i bought a Burberry shirt for almost $400 congratulating myself in finally achieving my career goals.
https://i.imgur.com/D8eSyj0.jpg Looking back at it, prolly not worth it as I've honestly only worn it like 4 times. Still fits me though. --- Toronto Maple Leafs ... Copied to Clipboard!

not a good purchase, generally when you spend more money, you want more value...better materials, better construction etc....a shirt can only be improved so much (unlike shoes, watches, blazers etc)

Probably some shoes that were mid $200s. Bought the Jordan 6s for $200 a couple weeks ago.
Shirts I have a cutoff around $100 and thats pretty much Bape shit and some recent Kobe Bryant splurges. Pants, anything over like $50 just seems crazy to me. $400 Im probably buying a couple pairs of shoes and some tshirts and hats. If I have plenty of money Ill get the big time name brand stuff, but it was always weird to me just having like 1 nice thing. Youre rocking Gucci one day and then American Eagle the next, thats kinda weird. lol, didnt know AE was listed above me whoops --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Probably my suit.
I get things like tshirts for super cheap at Michael's lol. I think they're 4 bucks a shirt Pretty much everything else besides jeans/shoes I'll get as cheap as possible on amazon Coats I'll either look at thrift stores or buy on Etsy. I don't like spending money on clothes or having to worry about what to wear so it's always simple, plain clothes that look presentable in most occasions. Like 9/10 I'll wear a button down and chinos cus it can pass for casual or nice-ish with the only difference being sneakers or dress shoes and a watch. --- we provide the fireworks, you do the oohs and aahs. ...

Probably a $400 suit. I dislike suits and find ties to be really uncomfortable, but it's good quality, so on the rare occasion I need it, I have it.

I have some blazers that were probably close to $1000 bucks at full price. I usually am pretty good at getting stuff on sale tho. I bought a pair of AF1s that were close to $500 bucks I believe.
I'm about to order a Robert Graham sport coat that was $700 bucks and I'm paying $260 shipped plus a $50 reward card to Bloomingdales. Great deal. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why pay four digits (or even three) for a suit I've worn maybe four times?

Why pay four digits (or even three) for a suit I've worn maybe four times? Because a poor fitting suit, one that looks off or isn't comfortable makes you project less confidence and attention to details. Interviewers and others do notice those things, if only subconciously. I don't leave any advantage on the table i can have over the average Joe Three digits (3-400+tailoring) is enough to get that, if you go into 4 digits, you're getting advanced materials, custom measurements and full canvas...all luxuries which most people don't need and 0.001% of people notice. If you can't drop 400 on a good suit, I get it...but I'd suggest doing it once it's remotely feasible. When you're in a suit is when you should need to look your absolute best, so might as well do it right. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can, but I'm just stingy.

Did they adjust an off the rack suit to your body? If so, you overpaid. Did they take custom measurements and make the suit? If so, maybe an appropriate pay (but probably not). Did they create multiple versions and recreate it from scratch each time to fit your body perfectly? If so, then probably a decent price --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
