If you were not allowed to acquire any new clothes, how long do you think your current wardrobe would last? (lemmy.ca)

Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

Regular clothing I could probably last decades, I still have clothes from 20 years ago that are perfectly fine. Shoes are my big issue, they wear out fast for me, even higher priced brands that are supposed to last.

I used to have that issue, the secret for me was that I needed to explicitly look for wide shoes (Xw as in 10.5w) my current shoes are going on 2 years now :D
