> One of my biggest everyday QoL upgrade is men's casual pants finally getting elastane.

I don't know if it's elastane but I've definitely seen QoL improvements in clothing compared to 35 years ago (back when I was a teenagers).

Underwear are soooo soft. And they fit perfectly. Same for t-shirts. Same for socks.

I don't know what makes some clothes so comfy (and requiring no ironing either btw) but there's "something" that makes lots of clothes simply better nowadays.

And they last too: I'm the kind of person who hates shopping (which drives my wife mad) so when I find something I like, I'll buy three or five of them (which drives my wife even madder). I've got some pieces I have since years and years (that one is nearly divorce reason ;) Sometimes I find a five years old picture and think: "Oh I already had that thing back then!?".

Yeah, many clothes are just simply better now.

I'm with you. All my socks are the same brand, same color. No pair matching needed. They are all the same.

That and having breakfast. It's the same almost everyday - unflavored whey + frozen fruits protein shake.
