How much does CC spend on clothes?

[180digi]

I spent $282.16 on clothes in 2008.

I think this is mostly correct; I saved the receipts for most if not all of the purchases I've made, but may have missed an online purchase or two. No more than $350 I'm sure. I generally shop in clearance because otherwise I'd be spending much more. Usually when something gets stained or stretched out I wear it as gym clothes and that sort of thing. The interweb says people spend something like $1,550 per year on clothes. Has anyone else saved all their receipts like I have?

i honestly don't think i've spent more than $100 in the past two years on clothes =x

[Coolboyrulez0]

Me... $0.
My parents for me maybe ~$300-400

How can you spend so little on clothes in one year, especially as a teenager. You guys need new clothes and shoes and **** all the time

My tims (which are boots cost me about 80 lol) And my other clothes, idk I don't save receipts for those, but at least you're saving money.

If it isn't obliterated, it's wearable.

To answer the question, ~$50.

I dont save my receipts, but I probably spend about 600 dollars on clothing including shoes. I'm planning on cutting that in half this year though since i have to pay for university soon

Then I suppose you don't grow at all, or you wear extreme high waters. Because one pair of pants these days regularly will cost more than 50 bucks-- at a normal clothing store at least.

I'd say I spend about $300 per year on average. This year I needed to get a bunch of new jeans and a couple pairs of shoes plus shirts and stuff so probably a little more.

[Red_Comet]

last year, about $90, when I was 18, nearly 3000 (lots and lots of suits wow)

[coraleaterlinda]

about 200 - 300 a year. most of my old clothes become pajamas or workout stuff.

Pair of jeans is like...$29.99. Can get an even better price during some sales.

I agree, and I usually shop at Abercrombie, Hollister, and Lucky Brand so it makes me seriously think I lost a few receipts along the way. I never buy anything at regular price(90 dollar jeans for 20, 80 dollar jeans for 30, 100 dollar sweater for 25) because I'd be limiting the amount of things I could get. Another thing this thread has made me think about is shoes, which I didn't count. If I did, I would probably add about a hundred and twenty dollars, so my original figure is probably more like $400 or so. I'll bet most kids who don't buy things on clearance spend several times this.

I worked at a designer store in my town so I ended up buying a lot of moderately expensive stuff there (my most recent purchase consisted of a pair of $80 jeans and two shirts that cost around $100 together). So I/my parents do spend a good deal of money of clothes for me. I wouldn't know the exact amount seeing as I usually don't keep receipts. I try to catch sales as much as possible but I don't worry to much if the item of purchase is at full price.

I spent $0 on clothes in 2008. It sucked. I hate being a college student.

[Zageron]

I've spent $0 on clothing since the year 1992. Funny enough it seems I was born that year.

I get aprox. 10 new pieces of clothing per year. (As gifts from relatives.)

P.S. I don't buy cheap fabric with a logo that costs $200. :\ Instead I buy cheap metal shaped together to form micro processors, with logos that cost one hell of a lot more than $200.

[Wineandbread]

Prolly around 100-125 bucks a year.
Gotta keep up with the trends, ya know. xP

Department stores, yeah. I usually go to Buckle or another place that's specific to the area, and most of the jeans are custom and go for 90, 80 dollars. Really good jeans, too. The cheapest jeans I get are at Old Navy for about $30, $40. They last awhile but they just don't have the same quality. Definitely a difference. Plus.. the t-shirts I get online are like $20-30. Other shirts I get are expensive. About $40-50. And I have a ton of jackets, most of them over $100. I won't even go into shoes.

All of my comfortable clothing is comprised of plaid sweats, torn up jackets and band shirts. The ratio of comfortable clothes to "nice" clothes, which includes jeans, is ~6:1.

I spend well over 1000 a year on clothing, or at least I did when I was a teenager. Now that I have clothes accumulated from over the years I don't need to buy as much. I probably spend about $300 on clothes every 6 months.

Like I said, I won't even go into shoes.

As a side note, I didn't even really start buying nice clothes UNTIL became an adult. When I was in highschool I wore the aforementioned "comfortable clothes" and slippers/sandals.

Edit: Most of you guys are, well, guys, anyways.
Edit: lol

About like 350$ for me last year.
