Is it worth it in the long run? Yes. I spent a thousand dollar total to fill my closet with nice and high quality vintage stuff that fits well. But it took me 3 years of painful thrifting. You’re stuck in these tiny crawl spaces that are not made for 6’2 guys. You have to try hundreds of pants on before finding a pair that fits. And then you have to hope no one buys it before you do, because your autistic ass forgot his wallet. There’s no AC in these fucking things so thrifting is nigh impossible in summer because thrift shops are simply way too hot. You have to go regularly as well because most of the time these shops are filled with garbage, and good clothes are so far in between. So yes, thrifting is worth it in the long run, but it’s absolutely awful and requires patience. Thrifting also got me into repairing my clothes, sewing, learning how to tailor my pants, checking stitch quality on clothes and identifying materials...

>Implying anything in a thrift store that nice is less than $10

Any good thrift shops in ny?

>>15348795
That's how capitalism works, champ.

>>15350389
I'm not even from New York and I know this is a stupid fucking question, do you know how to use google?
Fuckin zoomers man I swear to fuckin god I'm gonna blow my brains out.

>>15350440
do you not understand what a personal recommendation is? When ,if you ever do, talk to people do you just tell them to google things when they ask you questions?

>>15350389
No. They're all picked over by people with more time and knowledge than you.

>>15350500
This, I go to thrift stores pretty regularly, but it’s extremely rare I find anything good. Perhaps if I lived in a more city-ish area I’d have better luck. But if I solely created my wardrobe from thrift finds as a male I’d look like a 95 percenter

I just think up an outfit and then scour through online stores looking for pieces that are exactly like I want them to be. If it costs, it costs.

>he's actually renouncing the Kingdom of God for a few pleasures on earth.

>>15350866
Same. I’ve spent all my life compromising when it came to clothing. With age came the realization that unless absolutely necessary (financial) there’s no good reason to do that. I’m happy when I’m doing and wearing exactly what I want. So I spent $250 on a rare shirt. I don’t care because when I wear it I know it’s exactly what I want to be wearing. I’m always dressed the best I can be and that gives me confidence which makes me feel good and makes the expense totally worth it.

Dipshits who have a problem with this but spend $250 on yearly Cuckflix subscriptions, or monthly drug/alcohol/cig purchase, or bimonthly energy drink / coffee purchases, can suck me

This

Normies are notorious for having terrible spending habits. I only make 7,000 a year and I still have leftover spending money each month.

>>15350471
you're not talking to someone retard, you're posting a message on an imageboard
you have a computer, you have a brain, use both

>>15350440
Killing yourself because someone is acting like a retard must be the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

>>15348847
This really. And even after spending all that time thrifting nice clothes from reputable brands I hardly wear them because they're itchy and uncomfortable compared to my second hand luxury clothes.
It's much more expensive, but i think it's worth going for barely used second hand luxory goods. At this point I have around 3k in saint laurent / dior homme and my wardrobe feels pretty sizable and ranged.

I'm a full-time shoplifter.

>he actually spends money instead of robbing normies

>not just taking clothes from friends
I've literally never bought clothes in my life

>>15348788
Oh shit this is L train vintage

>>15348788
op is retarded because he put one of those resale “vintage” shops as the pic instead of an actual goodwill
i doubt you would be able to find anything in that store under $10

>>15352923
nah ive been there its decently priced for the most part, on par with most nyc thrift shops including goodwill

>>15348795
I wonder why only poorfags say things like this. It's such a mystery.

why does only /fa/ defend stupid shit like spending too much money on clothing and licking the anus of hedonistic consumerism? explains why this board is low intelligence and high egotism

There arent any flea markets or goodwills nearby where I could get an outfit for 10$. But this is how much my fit is
>clearance vans 30$
>dickies from craiglist 10$
>t shirt free from a summer camp years ago
>stolen flannel
>cap 2$
>underwear from childhood

>>15353033
Very high quality image anon. Do you have any more like this? Thank you for your time.

>>15353034
Yes here you go :)

>underwear from childhood
lmao what the fuck

>>15350983
Why are you saying "you". Are you talking to me?

>>15348809
And a thrift shop this nice will also not sell you an outfit for 10$. I've made some decent finds in my local shop where a piece no matter what is 1 € but you have to search through boxes and it smells stuffy.

>tfw average outfit I wear outside is 1 to 2k worth of items

>>15350405
Yeah because plebs like you exist

Americans, particularly ones in high population areas like california or new york, have no idea how good they have it for thrift stores. It's not bad in Vancouver, but quality jumps 10x the moment I step into a buffalo exchange in San Fran or Portland, as opposed to my local value village.

Thrift jew chad here.
I don't buy anything for retail.
20$ for a tshirt is too much for me. I buy everything used and in thrift stores.
I actually have a big collection of vintage and designer stuff all bought dirt cheap.

I put all my money into investments.

Spending big money in clothes is for women.
There's literally men who wear gucci "purses" nowadays..
If that's not gay mafia gender agenda memery I dont know what is...

>>15348788
Fashion is for kids who are bad with money

>>15348794
>he thinks spending hundreds of dollars a year on clothes is a sound financial investment
Don't mock him too hard, you'll on the street right next to him soon enough.
