We all need to adopt this attitude to clothes

I sew my clothes back together when they start to fall apart. Until they are so threadbare that there's not enough structure to hold a hole together. Then they become rags.

"Home clothes", "repair clothes"? Nah. There's just clothes, and clothes my SO gets mad at if I get paint on them.

I feel seen

I should probably go put on nicer clothes

Or you could stop looking. Either way's fine

For the same price, men's clothing are often far thicker with better quality fabric.

Next time you see a simple men's t-shirt, look at the equivalent for women. It's more expensive and thinner.

People always say 'vote with your wallet' as if women didn't already have to deal with the ridiculousness of non-standard sizes, bloating, bra compatibility, and constantly being heavily judged for appearances. Taking all of this into account, better fabric and pockets are a premium that can't always be afforded or not even offered.

Sure, i do wear my clothes for a long time. But i'm still bored by the selection, and i wish skirts & thigh highs were more accepted in society.

Or, Dog's New Sheets.

Yes, my das grabs his old shirts and uses them to cover the dog at its bed.

Protip, a pin badge works to cover those holes around the tshirt/shirt pockets. You can also learn to live with the holes below the belly button, especially if there's some crumpling going on down there. This further blurs the line between home and outside clothes and elongates your public enjoyment of holey clothes. For shorts, cotch holes adds some nice airflow, and once all socks are more hole than sock, you just switch to sandals.

I could buy a New Outfit every day, but do exactly this. Well, minus the into-space-part 😁 Wifey has more bags in a specific color than I have clothes altogether... As long as it's somehow clean and doesn't reek, it's still fine.

I do have some gym shorts that are old enough to vote... I'm actually wearing them right now lol. They're not even bad off by any means (just a singular cigarette burn from college), but I've never had another pair last as long. They're not even any type of brand name nothing, just sturdy I guess... and oh so comfy!

I definitely own a shirt that is "good enough to fall off a roof in" and half a t shirt in the wood shop I cut up for wiping on varnish.

Then finally to fine microplastic mist.

Space! Of course!

I knew I forgot to look somewhere for that shirt... er, rag...?

Whatever I can still fix it!

Maybe...?

Depending on your style, the third tier work clothes can become outside clothes again. I've got paint stains on this old T-shirt that matches the paint stains on these 25 year old jeans that have a hole in the knee. Badge of honor, really!

My clothes are cheap, and my nicest shirts are half-plastic.
