    Nobody else just buy their favourite shirt in bulk, I have like 10 shirts and jeans identical in my wardrobe

      I don’t usually anticipate a random garment to become my favourite.

      I try to stock up when it happens but sometimes I can’t find any at a price I’m willing (or able) to pay.

      Having hippie grandma tastes and trying my damnest to buy mostly used clothes don’t help either.

      Otoh I’m getting real good at mending clothes until they fall apart. I have very low standards for home clothes.

      I do this for pants, and work gives me 4 shitty office polos each year so I have the same outfit every day, no brain power wasted understanding fashion or worrying about dress codes.

    I know ladies here are very rare… But. Maybe some gay bros can hear this too or anyone dating masc presenting person.

    Buy them a nice shirt. They will treasure it forever. My wife bought me (girlfriend at the time, like first year of our relationship or so) sweatpants. I wore them today, 18 years later.

    Things like that stay with us forever.

    Now for those who are fashion blind like me, try to observe what they dress like, suggest something long the lines of “this could look good on you”. Apparently I pick good clothes, but in reality, it’s good because I complemented her in it. It doesn’t take much, but will mean a lot to your partner.

    The problem I have is that my office has a dress code policy from the '80s, so I’m wearing nice shirts every day I go to work. Now, it’s become my “work attire” so my brain doesn’t want to put it on for dates, because who would want their date to arrive in work clothes?

    So far, my solution has just been to girlmode my dates, but I do wonder what my future partner will think when they realize I don’t actually wear mesh tops and skirts all that frequently, and I have a small Men’s Warehouse in my closet.

    I haven’t dressed up for work since the 80s. Even when I was working in an office, it was jeans or shorts and a t-shirt most days.
