Go to a vintage store and feel the fabric, check the buttons and the seams, try it on. They will last you longer, wear better, and fit you well. You can hunt in thrift stores too, but I think it’s worth the cost to support a local business (as long as they’re not a crazy markup). The owners of those shops have done the work to find the quality stuff, including some incredible designer brands. To get the same level of tailoring and craftsmanship with new clothes today, you have to pay $$$$. Which can also be worth it if you really love the thing and want to support the designer. But tops from the 90’s and before are excellent. Unique patterns, weaves, softer and heavier material. They don't make them like they used to, collect them while you still can.

why can i never find anything at the store anymore? and this goes for thrift stores too. Everything is made of bad materials, bad quality, and everything just looks weird? It sits weird on the body, nothing looks nice anymore. Like comparing the old juicy tracks and the new ones? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? Why cant they make it the same way anymore, then that gets donated and the thrift stores get filled with shit clothing.

they loss, just a redirect. find volunteer work even if it is 1 hour a week. compartmentalize the online job searching and force activities that bring pleasure, ideally irl. Freedom isn’t exactly free but time is all we have so in a way congrats on the new wealth. Hope you find formidable fit at your next place of employ!
