If you were not allowed to acquire any new clothes, how long do you think your current wardrobe would last? (lemmy.ca)

Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

As a fat lad, I’d get maybe a year out of my trousers. But I’d probably get 20 years out of my t-shirts. I just had a clear out last weekend, and finally threw away a bunch of old t’s I don’t wear anymore, some of which were pushing 15 years old.
