You've been ripped off. There's a Chinese guy down the market who will sell you a suit for 50 bucks.

Yeah, in North America, philosophers are somewhat expected to have the I-don't-care-about-my-look look. If you're too trendy, you're not the real deal. Since I'm single, and since I still like to pick up hot girls once in a while, I like to look good. Unfortunately, this comes with a price tag.

less than $50 a year I'd say.

I wear jeans that are over 5 years old. And I always get 5 years out of my shoes. Underwear I wear until the elastic goes out. Socks I wear until they get too many holes.

The only "brand name" expensive stuff I buy is jeans and underwear.

And the jeans are only Banana Republic.

Other stuff is like Quiksilver, DCShoes, etc.

Its definitely worth it to spend money on shoes. I don't like cheap shoes.

Pants I'll commonly spend about 100 bucks on. But I haven't brought new pants for about 3 yrs now. T-shirts and shirts are usually anywhere from 20-50 a pop. I don't know how much I spend on average. I update my wardrobe usually in one big splurge every now and again.

what i'm wearing right now?

Hanes t-shirt... probably like a dollar
Tommy Hilfiger boxers... close to 10
XXXL Tall T-shirt $4
State Property Work Shirt $60
Sean John jeans $80
Sean John belt $20
Lugz boots $50

someone was real bothered once by my mixing and matching of brands... he said state property dont get along with badboy, why would you rock both labels' clothing lines at the same time? now that's plain stupid.

Why the hell would you buy Tommy Hilfiger boxers?

Hanes t-shirt - $1
boxers, from wal-mart, $1 (hey, if i'm not getting laid that day why waste effort on looking nice)
t-shirt - $14
old blue jeans - $20
cheapo belt - i dunno, a couple bucks
socks - <$1
shoes - $50, but they're pretty old

why wear expensive belts? that's one thing I never got. A belt is a completely utilitarian thing. It serves no fashion purpose. It holds your pants from falling off your ass.

umm... you got it backwards... didn't tommy hilfiger design for the much more upper class crowds: the country clubs and yachting? Wasn't Ralph Lauren (who is still very popular in the city) also like hilfiger in this regard?

what it is is that the rich people start out with the fashions, the poor people copy so they can look rich, then the suburbans take it when the poor people move on to something else...

the surge in rap labels having clothing lines (phat farm, sean john, rocawear, etc.) has kind of put a wrench in that whole cycle though.

No, Tommy and Ralph Lauren are dirt cheap compared to Versace and Armani.

Tommy and Ralph Lauren were aimed squarely at the suburban white boy market, and have been out of style for a while now.

Hanes --> Ghetto/lower-class
Tommy --> Suburban/middle-class
Armani --> Rich/upper-class
