Just wondering what the rule of thumb generally is and if anybody even notices.
How Many Different Suits Do You Rotate a Week? How Much Did They Cost?
Comments
Birthday suits are allowed.
Then 1.
In summer, I rotate my bathing suits so that my beach date doesn't see the same one twice until we've schtupped. So 2 or 3 per week.
In winter, I have 4 different track suits to rotate but will wear the same one if it's not sweaty and with a different crowd.
Most of what I buy is heavily discounted and/or paid for with a voucher. But the RRP would average about $50 for bathing suits and $150 for track suits.
My birthday suit gets use all night, and day if I'm lucky. I got it for my birthday but I've been told it's quite valuable.
I pay $3.000-$5.000 for my Zegna suits and as a matter of course wear a different one each day of the week. I also have 3 in reserve.
What colour is your high yielding German investment?
She's tanned orange.
Bro, pretty sure our aussie currency only goes to 2 d.p. so should be written $3.00-$5.00… thats a reasonable bargain for Zegna suits - shame on you for not posting this deal so the community could all benefit :p

Have you never seen a service station?
Also, he bought 10, so the 3rd decimal place is relevant.
LOSER!
I have just one suit which does double duty for weddings and court hearings.
And if you get divorced that afternoon, you won't even need to get it cleaned. Bargain!
I have one at a time, but previous one never fits the next time I need it.
Actually, I have about a dozen, but only one "in use". Well not "in use", but "still fitting".oh, and cost? Usually somebody has a sale on. I think $99 or is $199 the cheapest suits come??
Where is the suits are overrated option?
I wear a button up shirt and a pair of jeans to work. I change the shirt every day, and normally change the jeans every week unless they get dirty. No one notices or cares. The fact that I wear a long sleeve shirt and leather shoes already makes me better dressed than half the people in my office.
Following this thread lol
Used to rotate through 5 but rolling with 4 right now (the one that has dropped out is too tight in the thighs..which I’ll attribute to the gym..never mind it doesn’t fit around the waist anymore either 😂 am still a 32 waist tho but still 😞)
Generally wear a suit every day for work (except some days WFH or casual Friday’s if no important meetings)Would be surprised if anyone would notice if I wore the same suit every day..shirts on the other hand, more noticeable unless it’s plain white
best place to get suits in Melb?
the shops
The suit store.
Op shop. Dry clean to get rid of the special smell and rock the 'one look up top, another look down the bottom' outfit.
I have 3 full suits one of which is a winter one (thick wool) and a pair of dress slacks(with not marching but sport coat to go with it for more business casual days)… I rotate them 1 day on and 1 day off over 4 days. Friday is casual.
Most days I don’t bother with the jacket as I don’t have to be in face to face meetings but given the cooler mornings I’ve started wearing a jacket to work.
Suits were $600-700 each online, adjustments about $60
I also have a winter jacket to wear which was about $300. I’d wear this instead of a suit jacket.
Fridays are casual days except when I have a client meeting.
So I generally wear 4 suits each week in winter.
In summer when I don't wear the jacket, I rotate 3-4 different suit pants that I've had made separately (not the pants from a full suit) and shirt. That way, the actual pants from my suits don't wear out prematurely.
In total, I have 8 suits. They cost me between $200-$300 each from Thailand at varying times. There's been times I've had suits made that don't turn out to be good quality, and I just chuck them out. Even then, it still works out much cheaper and better fitting than getting them made locally.
I hope "chuck them out" means donate them to goodwill.
Usually just jeans, t-shirt and a jacket over the top.
Jackets are about the $500 mark usually, paired with some brown leather shoes about hue $500 again.
I wear black, i buy 3-5 of each black item i wish to incorporate into my wardrobe so they dont wear out, Steve Jobs style.
4 different suits on rotation, some days especially Friday I try and dress casual for after work drinks.
I don't have to dress up if I want to impress people
What? You just drive you 80k high yielding investment? Then bam. You turn heads.
Suits are for people who don't think for a living.
4 suits, $100 buy-in.
I bought a suit a few years ago as I thought I might wear it sometimes, still haven't. The only time I have worn a suit is to a friend's wedding but I took the jacket off as soon as I got there.
I work in an office. Friday is a casual day.
I usually wear trousers and a shirt Mon-Thurs unless i'm in an important meeting / seeing a client.
5 separate pairs of trousers ~$30-$60 per pair (Mainly Van Heusen).
10-12 long sleeve shirts $30-$60 per shirt (Myer home brands, CT and Van Heusen).
3-5 suits: (One made in Thailand $400, One made in Vietnam $250, a few older suits made in Vietnam / Thailand that don't get much wear any more ($100-$200).weblink to your thailand workshop? :P
Those who wear a suit every day - how many times do you wear them before you get them dry cleaned?
once a month - so each suit gets 4 wears.
Wow ! I usually do it when the weather changes… so not often at all..
Admittedly, it's a pain. I'm just lucky the dry cleaners are directly downstairs from where I live so I don't have to go far.
Ahhh the joys of suits. How I dont miss them for day in, day out.
Currently wearing jeans & tshirt along with a pair of converse. Tshirt is a casual collared shirt Mon-Thurs, and converse become a 'nicer' pair of shoes, but the jeans remain.
Your cousin own a dog? Kindly take your shoes in the house and dont leave it outside your cousins dog. Might end up your converse being a chew toy.
