How Much Should You Spend On Clothes?

About this video

Weston addresses where men should prioritize their clothing budget, arguing that the percentage of income spent on fashion is less important than investing strategically in specific pieces. Weston recommends allocating resources toward outerwear like jackets and suits (if worn regularly), quality dress shoes and boots, while suggesting men can spend less on basics like t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans without sacrificing style.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that percentage of income spent on clothing varies too much by individual to be a useful guideline; instead, focus on which pieces merit investment
• Weston recommends investing in outerwear (casual jackets, sport coats) and quality dress shoes and boots, as these pieces last longer and significantly impact overall appearance
• Weston advises that basics like t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans don’t require high spending since they wear out quickly or can be found at good quality for under $70, allowing budget allocation to higher-impact pieces
