  • Clothes and accessories ...and other disturbing changes..

    What is the typical cost for "business casual" type clothes? I ask this because I just put a very heathy dent in the wallet...I like what I bought, I'm just curious if my figures are off or if this is the normal. I will not disclose what I paid, I'm just trying to get an idea what a typical outfit would cost...
    Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

    depends, I hit up the BX sales rack and can score a nice outfit for under 50 bucks 75 to 80 if i get shoes.. but I would say for a nice shirt and slacks, socks and shoes downtown...around 120 bucks...the shoes being the big ticket item...

        for business casual I normally spend $45.00 to $60.00 for pants and about the same for shirts unless I can catch them on sale.

            so, did ya get pleats and cuffs??

            i am curious what a healthy dent would be? being a cheap ass, that has to wear "B.C." to sit in a cube farm, in a damn tire warehouse, I am all about the sales at Kohl's. i dont think I have paid more than 30 for pants. ever. and I have some decent stuff.

            shirts are mostly vendor schwag.

            any way, isnt "outfit" (heehee ;D) just to go to sema??

              "Outfit" is for any use, not just for SEMA. I've never owned good stuff before, except the Army class-A uniform. And judging from the responses so far, I hopped off the deep end without my arm floaties...total damage today clothes-wise was $1,700. That is multiple items, and stuff like shoes, belt, and some other clothes I bought at the same time.

                          Let's see - business casual.

                          1 BS (or ECTA) T-shirt...... About $10 or 12 bucks.
                          Shorts ............................. About 10 or 12
                          Tennie pumps................... About $35, but you can wear 'em for other stuff
                          Socks & tighty-whiteys...... Optional

                          Do the math.
