When Do You Buy Clothes for the Season? - Topic of the day 9/11/24
Exactly what it says on the tin - do you plan and buy things in advance or wait until there's a want or need to buy something? What factors lead you to choose one or the other? What potential downsides are there for buying early or buying in the moment?

At the end of season sales obv.
I find end of season sales super stressful but perhaps I should
when i see something i want i get it assuming i can afford it. planning is too hard
i get brainrot about something specific and hunt for it until i'm satisfied then move onto the next thing without regard to season
Its less important when thrifting fortunately.
this week: sweater so itchy i cry
next week: versace swimtrunk
Yeah what sal said I buy clothes when I fall in love with them
Not when I’m going to wear them
Like a shark, always moving forward buying, can't stop or I'll die.
wait i forgot about this option, i do this aswell
Half a year/a season up front I think about what I want to wear/express and I start to slowly transition into that wardrobe/aesthetic. I have already been collecting clothes for over 10 years so I basically already have a solid fall wardrobe I just want to add some details
last fall it was princess dianacore, this summer it was rockstar chic and now I want to go for indiana jones office day autumn
Vtg woolrich
(for the swimtrunk obv)
i got the jan jan turtleneck and my partner stole it because it's a little small on me
got my cry in now it's onto the trunks
I bought a wool cardigan in the dead of 100° summer because it was cute who cares about seasons
Whenever I want, and with little to no methodology
Usually when I'm eager for the weather to change and want to convince myself it's almost fall/spring
i buy fall/winter clothes during fall, winter, spring, and summer. i buy summer clothes in
I suffer through summer and relish the first day sub 60
That’s today for me
It was 90 yesterday now it’s 56 and raining
Way too true
Winter clothes just hit different
i am changing that this year after coming to the shocking realization that i don't have any summer clothes because i don't buy any summer clothes
So now you buy summer clothes between oct 31 and Nov 2nd and winter clothes the rest of the year?
Jokes aside, can totally relate, I have a similar problem
I buy jackets in the summer and shorts/tanks in the winter
I buy clothes I like when I like them
the smart thing 2 do is winter jackets in summer and summery clothes in winter. In reality I forget/procrastinate until the season is upon us and it's 2 late
ya I never buy summer clothes cuz its always over before it starts up here
I just wear my lighterweight fall stuff, or athleisure basically
I buy clothes when I have any money left at the end of the month
building up my wardrobe for the first time so i'm preparing for fall/winter now
it's going to be at least a month or two until the weather is cold enough to not wear shorts and one layer
I just buy whatever dumb bullshit makes my neurons activate ad infinitum
girl, I am 6'4" and have a butt: I buy clothing when I can find something that actually fits me 😮💨
I’m about halfway through my first official purge and when that’s sold I plan to get my sweater game up.
I don't buy for the season. I just unpack.
I get clothing made for me that fit my body and my style. Add more as needed.
Only time when the cycle changes is when my body weight changes.
When I reach for the wardrobe and realize it's empty right on the first day of new temperature spike
