I try to only buy good quality clothes that are made to last, then I wear them until they develop holes. I repair them and wear them again until they don't really look presentable anymore. At that point they become home/work/workout/concert clothes. When they can no longer be repaired, they become cleaning rags.

I did not know that this was something to be applauded for.

When the rich people act like us proles, it's news and we give them adulation.

If the clothes work for you, then there is your answer. No need to change something that is not broken (for you).

I kept the following quote from the article: "but it is only you who inherently cares what you look like"

And I remembered the phrase: those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

Did you know your lifestyle is now known as "Greta effect" :p
