“The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”
Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.
It really is the entitled version of the boots theory. I wear my clothes literally hundreds of times before they get worn out and this article is suggesting that 10 wears of “cheap” ($50) clothes and it’s trash time. This article is way out if touch to the average non-fashion obsessed buyer imo.

Do individual socks count? If so, buying a 10 pack of socks and a 6 pack of undies gets you through half a year by this metric.
Man, I don’t even do that every year. Maybe every 3-5 years. I do not buy clothes very often at all.
This article is so entitled

I may be a snob because the socks go in the bin, when the holes grow too big.
“too” big, sure, but not when they first appear
TIL that I’m probably entitled cause when I see a small hole, that socks goes to trash and the other one in the pair becomes orphaned.
Hey as long as you’re not throwing out both if one gets a hole, I’m glad to have you on the team.
Yeah exactly, the orphan must now wait until a matching orphan joins it. Then it can be worn just a bit longer!
