[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long would a $10k budget for nice work clothes last you?

Is that a couple shopping trips? A couple years? 5-10 years? More?

Just curious.

Assuming I'm starting from nothing?
I'd use it to buy a timeless coat, bag and shoes. Should last 5+ years with proper maintenance

I would hope a “timeless” coat costing $5k+ lasts more than 5 years[/quote]

I would allocate the 10k like this
- coat - 5k
- bag - 3.5k
- shoes 1 - 750
- shoes 2 - 750

2 pairs of shoes because you can't wear the same pair of shoes every day[/quote][/quote]

That is insane- I am in my early 50s and I make 7figures and I would never spend $5k on a coat or over 1K on a bag.  Ridiculous [/quote]

It is truly wild.  Clothes and accessories are like wine- you get to a certain price point and the increase in quality is entirely negligible in most cases.  Certain fine jewelry would be an exception to this but $3500 (or like you say $1000) for a bag is irrational.[/quote]

Yeah it's not really for "quality" reasons if you actually enjoy fashion. Some of us pay for designs, because you cannot find a similar thing for cheaper. Some of us pay even more to have a piece of history. I like collecting, and it's fine if you don't, but men get to have irrational hobbies too and nobody says anything.[/quote]
