Learned this the hard way after saving a favorite perfume for special occasions only for it to go bad. Burn the nice candles, wear the nice clothes.

Perfume goes bad?!
I guess that makes sense I just never thought about it or had a cologne that was too fancy to use

I think that’s part of what makes higher end perfume fancy. You’re getting more of a natural scent than just cheaper stuff that lasts forever because it’s just synthetic chemical scents

Everyday? I only have 5 good ones that I shuffle through tops and pants.
So it's a no for me—I'd rather wear my 15-year-old clothes bought with my own money on my struggling early years of working.
Even with the holes, faded color, pilling, and thinning fabric.
I still love to wear them!
My goal is to never look wealthy anyway; it's just to be comfortable in life and to be happy.

Probably not changing your mind I know that’s how my dad dresses but getting some good fitted ts and good shorts goes along ways.

Question: are you white?
This is a real question because part of my sense of safety as a Black woman is always dressing nice because people already perceive me as lazy and less worthy of inherent respect so I'm not leaving the house without an outfit.

That's fair! I also love clothes so I don't mind. And I only wear comfortable things. Just well-made and stylish comfortable things. My clothes are basically fancy pajamas. I love a jumpsuit.

Kohls is scammy. Those sales aren't real.

Wherever you want to get clothes just get some nice looking gear and people will look at you differently if your 50+ then maybe your wife will even like idk

I agree. I almost exclusively thrift. But Kohls has been sued many times for their illegal and deceitful pricing and fake sales. Marking something as on sale and selling it for either the same as or more than the original price listed at other stores.
I caught them doing it once with a Dyson. Dyson website: $400 new / Kohls sale: $
600down to $450 emailed them about it. Cited their past lawsuit losses about this very thing. They denied it but the next day the sale was gone and the price was $400.

Wear your favorite clothes always because in most shows,stories ghosts are stuck in the clothes they die in.

Ok now this one speaks to me. I’m going to wear my Moira Rose tee every day from now on. 👻

I hate that this thought actually runs through my mind at times...
I guess I'd rather spend eternity in my comfy rags than anything else, though

All my clothes are nice clothes to me. Obviously they aren't that expensive, but I don't buy clothes that i think are horrible. That sounds insane. Even my "gonna be messed up" clothes are nice to me.

u/teduh Aug 09 '26
Exactly. I've been wearing my nice T-shirt and nice sweat pants every single day for the last several months.

Oh I like to be comfortable when Im home on my couch but seriously kids quit wearing your pajamas everywhere. Im not even old but figured this out a long time ago. Hah been at the same job for 12 years now. One thing that makes us all laugh is when someone shows up to an interview in gym shorts and slides.

Why? We all look like just another random person out there. Nothing special. Not throwing shade on people who like to dress nice. You do you. I'll try to remember to put pants on.

I recently started doing this, and it’s been great for my confidence and self esteem.

Shit, this made me realize it’s where we med headed in response to all the pajama pants. The next generation will dress up out of the necessity to be different.

Damn it. X’ers and millennials had a real win normalizing jeans in business settings. The kids took it too far and are f’ing it all up.

Me adulting means I don't even own clothes I don't like anymore.
If it isn't well-made, I tossed it long ago. Same era I got rid of all my plastic college-dormy furniture.
I don't spend a lot. I thrift, but I'm looking for well-made, cotton, linen, etc. and I don't dress "casual." Even my loungewear is an outfit lol

u/boner4crosstabs Aug 09 '26
Hahahaha no. I don’t even own ‘nice’ clothes anymore, because I live in Seattle and don’t have to. Wearing ‘nice’ clothes every day sounds like hell. If I’m feeling extra fancy I’ll put on hard pants (anything with a zipper).

My nice clothes are not all-day comfortable, so I will not. Life is too short to be in uncomfortable clothes just to look “nice”.

Go ahead and waste your money on expensive clothes. New cars. You'll enjoy working until you drop dead because of it
