  • I’ve shifted to buying a lot of things used but I still can’t wrap my head around buying used clothing most of the time. There is an overwhelming selection of choices, and even if I sift through all of that to find the sort of stuff I need chances are it isn’t going to fit well.

    Poshmark helps for some things, but only if it’s like a discrete, easily categorized item that I can clearly for (like a specific brand of hat, or a specific line of pants from a specific brand that I already know fit). I’m appreciative of brands that have started carrying their own used clothing sections - even though it’s usually more expensive it’s so much easier to wrap my head around.

    Contrast that with things like electronics or household items which I go used for all day every day. I needed a rice cooker, bought a used Zojirushi off a local guy within a week, easy as pie.


  • Depending on what sorts of stuff you’re into there are situations where you can go over six without it being absurd. Like:

    • Everyday walkaround shoes
    • Running shoes
    • Hiking boots
    • Black dress shoes
    • Other color dress shoes
    • Sandals of some kind

    That’s already six pairs without even getting into other things that one may need like rain boots, snow boots, cleats, nonslips for work, etc.
