1. Hee! I just spent $120 on a sweater vest! hahahaha!

I've never had one before, and wanted to give it a shot. It's cashmere, so the price isn't quite as outlandish as it might initially sound.

2. I shop at Ross...my whole wardrobe including shoes probably doesn't even touch 1,000.

3. Not much..

Nice REI boots - $150.00
Thrift store jeans and T-shirts etc. - $50.00
A couple of political T-shirts - $40.00
A bunch of cheap socks - $15.00
Stuff people give me - $00.00

Total - $255 (That's for 2 years worth of shit. I hardly ever buy clothes) B-)

4. This year? Probably less than $300

[Dem2theMax]

8. Half of that for me.

I get cheaper every year. LOL.

[vanderBeth]

5. It's hard to tell

I make my own clothes.

[AlCzervik]

6. i'm not discussing shoes, but on clothes probably about $600 in the past year total.

[lumberjack_jeff]

7. You're kidding.

Family of five here. We spent $3900.21 in the last five years.

[question everything]

9. In general, women's clothes and accessories cost more

For example, a man can get away with two dark suits and a couple of white and blue shirts and a couple of ties and no one would bat an eye.

But if a woman would wear the same outfit within a few days, tongues would start wagging.

And, who knows how they dress in Alaska?

Still, they saved a lot of money. Minnesota does not levy sales tax on clothing, otherwise the tab would have been higher. I think that Chicago sales tax these days is 10%.

10. I haven't worn a suit to work in 20 years.

I wear them to funerals and weddings.

[Webster Green]

16. And court..

Last time I wore a suit was when I went into the courtroom in the boonies of Humboldt County for a DUI, wearing a three piece suit. I looked so good, all the other unfortunates there thought I was the public defender and came running up to explain all their shit to me.

The judge loved it and let me off easy. Gotta wear the suit to court. :smoke:

[question everything]

20. The Republican convention, then, fit into one of these categories

right?

One thing about suits, for both men and women: they cover much of bodies imperfections and when you are standing on a podium in front of thousands people in the hall, and several millions on TV, some with HD, even a fit body like Palin's can benefit from a good cover.

[fizzgig]

11. if we're talking out of pocket, probably *maybe* $60

it would be higher if we're including gift cards

[PBS Poll-435]

12. $0.00

That is what my birthday and Christmas are for!

:evilgrin:

13. My wardrobe for my trip to Miami

3 Suits @ $269/pc (Sean John,Calvin Klein 3 button suits)
5 matching slacks @ $35/pc
5 pair of socks $40 total
2 Dress shoes-Stacy Adams $80 pc
3 Dress shirts/Clubbing $60 pc
5 bottles of cologne(im a cologne freak and guru...ADG, Vera Wang, Platinum Egoiste, Versace Dreamer, Creed Himalaya $350 total. If you need advice on Cologne let me know.


$1532 after taxes. Damn Palin,

This how I felt afterwards, But my trip was priceless.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :(

14. I don't have a "wardrobe"...I just have some clothes. Jeans & T's

[AZBlue]

23. That was my thought too.

"I have a wardrobe??"

[sandnsea]

15. Oh, $200,

5 pairs of jeans/khakis - $10 each, $50
10, or so, tops, avg, $8 each, $80
Two pairs of shoes that I bought, $25 each $50
One skirt and blouse, $20, yeah, they were on sale

That was bought over a period of 3-5 years. Once you get a certain age, I don't know why you need to buy very many new items. Buy nice clothes at Ross and you're good to go.

[rebel with a cause]

17. This year, maybe $25 to $40

Over the last twenty years, because I am still wearing some things that I have had that long, I have no idea. I buy my clothes large, when I gained they fit tighter and when I lost they were looser. Right now they are comfy because they are really big the way I like them. :7

I am not a slave to fashion. I wear what I like and like what I wear. Comfort is important to me and everything else I ignore. :shrug:

[grannylib]

18. Except for socks and undies, I buy almost all my clothes at thrift stores.

I hate paying full price for anything, but I do draw the line at road-tested panties. Eeesh.

I haven't paid more than $5 for jeans in years; usually more like $2-3. Same for shirts - $5 would be an EXPENSIVE shirt. The only time I buy new shoes is every two years when I get a $50 subsidy for work shoes. I occasionally shop the clearance racks at Shopko or Target but only if I can't find something specific that I need at the thrift stores (or garage sales). I cringe when I see the prices people pay for new clothing. I've found flannel-lined Eddie Bauer jeans for $2; a Liz Claiborne skirt for $3, brand new with tag still on; Christopher and Bank sweaters for $2-3; GAP jeans for $2; Eastland shoes for a quarter a couple weeks ago at a garage sale (best buy of the autumn so far!)
The only new item of clothing other than undergarments I've bought this year was my Obama/Biden t-shirt :-)

19. Lemme see.... in the last TWO years I've purchased....

8 pairs of blue jeans @ $15 each = $120.00
6 pairs of slacks @ $25.00 each = $150.00
4 pairs of men's shorts @ $20.00 each = $80.00
4 pairs of tennis/walker shoes @ $30.00 each = $120.00
2 pairs of dress shoes @ $50.00 each = $100.00
2 sports jackets @ $80.00 each = $160.00
2 leather jackets (sorry PETA and vegans) @ $150.00 each = $300.00
4 sweaters @ $30.00 each = $120.00
1 really good suit = $300.00
4 sweatshirts @ $30.00 each = $120.00
4 belts @ $15.00 each = $60.00
4 ties @ $10.00 each = $40.00
20 pairs of socks @ $4.00 each pair = $80.00
2 8-pair bags of sport socks @ $10.00 each = $20.00
2 polo shirts @ $15.00 each = $30.00
10 pairs of T-shirts @ $10.00 each = $100.00
8 pairs of shirts @ $15.00 each = $120.00
various men's briefs, boxers, and white t-shirts = $100.00


So, that's about $2000.00 spent in nearly TWO years for my wardrobe.

21. wardrobe

I spend nothing, my wife dresses me. I know that I spend more on chrome for the motorcycle then all my clothes. I have the same leather jacket I bought for 39$ in 1967 Kehoe, made in America.

[shraby]

22. I'm 66 years old and haven't spent that much on

clothes over the whole of my lifetime.
