    Back of the envelope, to keepy work uniform crispy, every six months or so I need to obtain:

    • two work shirts

    • two undershirts

    • two pairs pants

    • a five-pack of boxers

    • a pair of shoes

    That’s twelve, times two to get the yearly average. I also get a six-pack of socks every other year or so, call that twenty-seven per year, plus one or two purchased for me as gifts (gloves, sweatshirts, hats, ties), call it thirty.

    There’s fifty-four weeks in a year. Either the author is out-of-touch or I’m already following their advice, IDK. I just found brands that are comfortable and wear them until they’re discontinued. Personally, I wish I was buying clothes less often; I hate that I go through work shirts and pants so fast, in particular.

    Edit: bad arithmetic originally. Revised estimate is more in line with author’s projection but still significantly lower.
