Annual clothing budget blown in a week.

My OH suggests some really shocking stuff for me and I would never trust her to buy clothes for me.

Oh god yes. Same!

She likes patterned clothes. And I very much like solid colours.
And horizontal stripes. Not for me!

I wore really old stuff out and about before I broke my anxiety and started buying clothes I liked.

So didn't really care what I wore. But I still bought my own stuff. Much of my prior disinterest in clothes was I just didn't like the standard look. But was too anxious about not fitting in. I now own no jeans.. Because I hate them. I always have.

Since breaking away though I actually enjoy picking out an outfit that like. Even if no one else likes it!

I've been buying my own clothes since I was 15 and mostly go for something unusual or not worn by the many*

*Yeah, I know, apart from the chavy gear I buy

I'm convinced my OH is fashion blind and if around during the 70's would have bought a beige Austin Allegro with matching upholstery

I always wish mine would dress in less baggy stuff. Because she's dead skinny the baggy stuff seems... A waste!
But no. It's baggy and things like dungarees. I hate dungarees! Sometimes I get a leggings treat.. But not often enough!

Obviously I'd never ever tell her what to wear. Nor would she tell me

I’ve little to no interest in buying clothes. My wife picks up odd bits for me throughout the year.

This for me! 100% my wife buys my clothes. I do buy the new Wolves football shirt every August though for £70

Wearing your dad's and your sister's boyfriend's hand-me-downs is next level.

Is it? I think you're in a bit of a bubble. Charity shops are a big percentage of the clothing market and that's essentially the same thing.

I’m the one in a bubble

No adult I know is wearing their dads and their sisters boyfriends hand me downs.

If that works for you that’s fine but it’s certainly not common.

Charity shops is a bit different.
You can pick what you like and they only sell nearly new stuff.

Aldi have some £15 trekking sandals up today, may give them a bash for mooching

Nah, the new stuff gets picked clean by the shop workers as soon as they come in. Most stuff is 5-10 years old, a lot older too.

We all have different priorities in life I guess, got no interest in buying clothes at all. But again you clearly live in a bubble - you seem to think the used/pre-owned clothing market doesn't exist.

No, I don't clearly think that so that's a reading comprehension failure on your part. I was speaking about your situation specifically, not the used/pre-owned clothing market in general.

I think he means hand me downs.
Its very different to shopping on vinted/charity shops.
If I just wore my step dad's old tat I'd look like an American lumberjack.

Depends if I go to Turkey that year or not.

Well I did, I have seen them over this price in the charity shops and they look pretty hard wearing

My dad gave me a few shorts/ t shirts he doesn’t wear recently.
