[quote=Anonymous]Appreciate everyones responses and feedback here. To clarify a few points:

1. I'm a guy and yes LuLulemon make mens shorts. 
2. While I would like to achieve financial independence, not entirely sure whether I want to retire early. I'm able to work hard and pursue my hobbies/interests as is so if I can keep making money while keeping that balance I would not necessarily want to change it up.
3. Not all my clothes are thrifted/second hand. Suits for client meetings/events  were bought new and tailored. Same with shirts. Ties were bought new. Shoes were bought new. Basically the clothes that are worn in front of clients are what you would expect and are modern/non patched/pressed. When in office without client meetings and what not is when I'm potentially wearing second hand/repaired clothing and even though would be along the lines of repairing a seam in the crotch with thread that matches the materials already there. Slapping non color matched iron on patch on holes is not what is happening.

Sounds like what people are saying is that my rigidity may be an issue in advancing.Really wish that folks played more active sports with clients but I guess that would prevent having good conversations I'm willing to buy some clothes that are not second hand for non-client meeting circumstances but I don't think I can do a new car. If it was not running well or was messed up somehow then that would be one thing but seems like a waste to replace a good running vehicle just because its older.[/quote]
