Wear Or Toss Old Men's Clothing? | How A Man Can Renew His Wardrobe | Dealing With Dated Clothes
About this video
Centeno addresses how to handle older clothing in your wardrobe, offering three main strategies: wearing dated pieces with confidence as personal style, having a tailor adjust clothing to fit current body changes or modern proportions, and selling quality vintage items online to fund thrift store shopping for updated pieces.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that confidence and ownership are key to pulling off dated clothing - if you commit to the look as your own style rather than a costume, others will perceive it as intentional personal style
- Centeno recommends taking older clothing to a tailor or seamstress for adjustments to fit, update proportions like lapel or tie width, which costs significantly less than buying new
- Centeno suggests selling quality vintage clothing on eBay or similar platforms at premium prices, then using that money to shop thrift stores for pieces that better fit current fashion, creating a form of wardrobe arbitrage
