One of my first jobs out of college was an e-commerce team lead for a luxury apparel retailer. We had access to all kinds of 80-90% sales before customers did, and lots of bonuses were paid as gift cards, so before long I was dressed head to toe in D&G, casually wore Santoni shoes, my only suit (that I worn maybe once) was Brioni. I always kinda despised "expensive clothes" but with time I learned to appreciate that some of it is very unique and/or of outstanding quality. These days I prefer Uniqlo, but still have a few items left from before, which had been serving me well for almost 20 years now.
