A friend of mine does a six-item-per-year clothing diet, but he doesn't save money doing it. He gets a nutty bespoke suit every year. The approach has taught him to make each purchase count. (Socks and stuff don't count towards the six).

this is inspiring — I want to be adjacent to this somehow: not ready to commit to participating in my own no-buy year but do recognize the need for it have you done no-buy seasons before?

mattshawsome i’ve done six months of no new clothes before but still allowed secondhand shopping so this is a bit of a step up ! i think a no buy season would still be cool though, its good to reconsider what motivates us to buy

Not buying clothes

Told myself I wouldn't buy new clothes this year unless its something I desperately needed, or merch from an event I attended.
Going well so far

Only buy an item of clothing if you can find a way to wear it in every season

i have been doing this for a couple of years now and it has: a) saved me tons of cash b) meant that I can wear all the clothes I love regardless of the season
