What's the most amount of money you've ever spent on a piece of clothing?

I saw a story about Blake Lively wearing a $88k dress.. WTF

I thrift shop for everything besides under things and work shoes. So I'm going to go with 60 bucks or so for shoes. 🤔

@CheshireCatalyst LOL.. OMG.. THAT actually made me laugh OUT LOUD, I HOPE I DIDN'T WAKE THE KIDS! 😵
dumpstermeow · 41-45, F
@CheshireCatalyst I love granny clothes... so I'm positive most of my things came from dead people's closets. 😹

A little more than 200€ on Dr. Martens Jadon boots and that's only because I've wanted them for more than 10 years and I finally had the chance to buy them with my own money and not my mum's.
SW-User
@SW-User AWESOME!

$700 on a Brooks Brothers suit
redredred · M

SW-User
@redredred 😵
redredred · M
they had some for $2000@SW-User
I need that much money for next 15 years of my life... Not just for one night wtf
Maybe 128 for this jacket I’m getting but I’ve spent a lot of money on bras too 😭 my size is really unique and I can’t find it anywhere but this one site and their bras are so expensive. It’s going to be about 150 for three bras that I need for Christmas although I don’t buy them regularly since they’re so expensive as to why I’m buying three the ones I have now are starting to get all worn out since I don’t buy bras often if though I’d like to😭. I don’t typically spend a lot of money on clothes though, I don’t see the point unless it’s something like a necessity which I understand somethings are when it comes to clothing based on what you need but you can find clothes for really cheap so I rarely spend a lot on it unless it’s for a specific reason. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Stark All of my bras are expensive too! It's so annoying, I have a big bust and to get a good fitting attractive one they charge absolute crazy prices.. 😢
@SW-User omggg right ?! It’s so unfair I get so jealous when I go to stores and I see such inexpensive bra prices that are cute but my size is never there. 😭 my mom got 3 bras for 18 dollars yesterday and I’m having to get 3 for 150 lol. It’s lame. The bras are always cute on the site but so expensive at least the ones I feel are comfortable and give me proper support.
SW-User
@Stark They are working against us women with in between sizes of busts I swear.. It's like they're offering a service to us as we don't fit the "standard" whatever that is.. 😠

1000euro my wedding dress.
SW-User
@Dusty101 My daughter still tells me how sad she is that she didn't get to wear the dress again.. LOL!!!!!
Dusty101 · F
@SW-User ahhhhh!
Communion dresses can be so cute!
SW-User
@Dusty101 She was pretty! Classy and understated not gypsy wedding style.. LOL!
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
7k for a dress. $300 for a bikini. Over a $1000 for heels
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@SW-User I have a few 5k purses
SW-User
@smileylovesgaming Well I don't even know what to say, I don't even have ONE designer purse, bag or whatever, my latest one is from GAP!
and I could if I wanted to.. but I suppose it's just not my thing
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@SW-User I do use them often

@BlueClapTrap Yes I know. Look and feel are exquisite. Whenever I see someone in a Brioni suit I want to touch it because it feels so good.

I'm embarrassed to say 500 dollar manolo blahnik pumps. Young and stupid
Montanaman · M
@FreeSpirit1 but omfg, so gorgeous!💕
SW-User
@FreeSpirit1 😵

Nope, I couldn't do it for a pair of shoes :/
Haydon23 · 41-45, M
@SW-User My thinking with shoes is that I’ll pay the money for the classic shoes that will never go out of fashion. A lot of the higher end shoemakers will also refurb them so in theory, they should last a decade.
Brooks Bros suit .. about $750 at the time

Imagining myself in a similar situation, with lovely breastforms, and a wife who at least would tolerate.

SW-User
@Elizabeth28 awesome! I have boots like yours I think I paid €70
Haydon23 · 41-45, M
£750 on a suit
Montanaman · M
But if you were hanging with Blake, you'd be like,
"Should we wait for the After Christmas sale? Nah! Cha'ching!
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLudTR8vTFs]
Btw, spent $260 for my rattlesnake skin boots 🤭
helenS · 36-40, F
@Montanaman Love those!
SW-User
I have a $320 jacket that I bought at Neiman Marcus. Now other people have spent a bit more on me but that's the most I've ever spent on myself.
SW-User
Omg don't ask. I spent $400 on a purse that was on sale and I can't even wear it.
SW-User
@SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User lol. But it's a Michael Kors.
SW-User
@SW-User I WANT ONE.. but I won't spend that on myself, I'm a bit odd like that..
helenS · 36-40, F
EUR 700 (USD 750) for a beautiful peacoat (caban jacket).

USD 88k is a bit much indeed.
SW-User
@helenS Yeah.. OMG, it is crazy
helenS · 36-40, F
@SW-User … but I wear it every day, in winter! It's 5 years old.
A couple hundred bucks for my wedding dress. Beside that it would be around $100 for good shoes
SW-User
@ProdigalSummer Yeah, I think that's the most I've spent on shoes, I have got €200 on 50% sale but never pay the full amount
SW-User
I never spend anything like that on myself :/ but I'd spend it on others..
SW-User
Same here@SW-User 👍️
SW-User
May or may not have spent $400 on a dress I got ridiculously drunk in and ruined
SW-User
@SW-User 😵😯 OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SharonP · 41-45, F
pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, later sold them for way less than I paid
Montanaman · M
@SharonP wish you had kept them?💕
SharonP · 41-45, F
@Montanaman and me now
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
Good word! I just can’t wrap my head around that but to each their own.

I, on the other hand, have to have a lengthy internal battle over spending $65 for a pair of new Converse, something I’ve never been able to bring myself to do. I can easily buy my kids a new pair of shoes for that price, but for me...that’s another story. I’d say upwards of 90% of the articles in my wardrobe are thrift store finds.
SW-User
£28 on a thong that broke the 2nd time I wore it
SW-User
@SW-User well damn :/
SW-User
@SW-User La Senza too
Lucia · 36-40, T
600 $ on a pair of mountaineering winter boots. Worth every single cent.
summersong · F
$350 on a pair of Fluevog boots. Worth every penny, I adore them.
Marylin · F
For Blake Lively that was small change😏
HellfireandCandy · 22-25, F
Like 250 for prom dress

HellfireandCandy · 22-25, F
@SW-User thx
SW-User
I refuse to spend much on clothes. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll spend whatever on someone else but I find it hard to buy stuff for myself.
SW-User
It’s a real flaw, tbh. @SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User Yeah, I feel guilty when I buy myself nice things tbfh
SW-User
@SW-User I just think about everything else that money could go on.
$400 for a coat
pentacorn · F
around $300 on several different items over a moderate amount of time, but that was long enough ago that it would surely equate to much more nowadays.
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
Probably a sexy coat. Or a suit.
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
@SW-User yeah did you not see my anthology of coat nudes?! 😂
SW-User
@CheshireCatalyst NO!.. Where is it?
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
@SW-User there's one in my friends folder, the rest are scattered throughout SW 😂
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
£1200 for some Jimmy Choo high heeled sandals that had to be made for me.
VSonMe · 56-60, M
My suits are all bespoke - I think the most expensive was probably around $3000. I also get bespoke shirts but they are only about $150 I think. My dress shoes are expensive (Church's are my favorites). Otherwise, I'm usually dressed casually in stuff from Banana Republic. I like that store because they don't have logos on their clothes. I hate advertising for companies so avoid logo clothes like the plague.
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
I’m pretty sure the most I’ve spent was for a dress suit that was still less than $500.
Jammy · 51-55, M
1400$ leather trench coat
SW-User
@Jammy OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chrisCA · M
@SW-User That would be a lot of hide.
Jammy · 51-55, M
I liked the coat@SW-User
KillerShrek · 26-30, M
Shoes that were about $200 or if you count the Apple Watch then that easily
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
A little over $1000 when I get really nice suits, custom tailored.
Diesel95 · 36-40, MVIP
I once spent 250 quid on a pair of new trainera I think it was last year
SW-User
$300...It was my wedding dress.
SW-User
@SW-User Nice! :-)
chrisCA · M
$600.00 for a suit.
helenS · 36-40, F
@chrisCA Reasonable price.
SW-User
$85 for this heavy coat.
that's just crazy.
SW-User
MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F
@SW-User My wedding dress. Being the only girl, my mom insisted (and paid) for it, and all of the alterations, undergarments, and accessories.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
I bought a suit for $500.
$200 usd on work boots
SW-User
$300 for a leather jacket
crystalkid · 56-60, T
