Prioritizing Spending
This may be too broad a discussion topic vs a simple q&a one, but figured I'd post it anyways.
I'm (possibly incorrectly) assuming most folks here fall somewhere on the spectrum from middle to upper middle incomes. Clothes run the gambit from dirt cheap to comically expensive. Perhaps not true at the lower end, but at some income level this turns into a "You can have anything you want (within reason), but not everything you want" problem and I'm fortunate to count myself in that club.
I'm curious how folks prioritize in this circumstance. Buy fewer but higher-priced items? A handful of high priced pieces but go cheap on "filler" items? Focus on items you'll wear socially? Items for work? Just whatever you'll wear "most"? Pay for dress shirts, cheap out on plain T's? Vice versa? Or maybe I'm just too much of a planner and you all just buy things you like and figure it out as you go?
I realize this is all going to be very individual. I imagine it will get easier once I'm building off a solid base vs debating which ill-fitting coffee-stained thing to replace first when I know the answer is going to eventually have to be "all of them". For now though, it's a bit of a struggle and I'd love to hear how others strategized around this. Even just building a capsule wardrobe, I am sure there isn't a "right" way, but I'm interested in the variability....

Ridiculous question...
I see references to different "types" of style (traditional, bohemian, softboy, etc.) and it seems like many have subcategories.
I can make guesses in some cases, but in others I have literally "no" idea what it means. I can obviously Google but in some cases the results seem.....dubious.
Suggestions on the best way to build an understanding of this? Are there guides I missed or (trustworthy) ones elsewhere? Is it even necessary for a 40's dad/professional who is 98% certain some slight variation of "traditional" is where he will land?

Charles Tyrwhitt 3 for $99
Hi all,
Just joined so if this is the wrong spot, please point me in the right direction!
Was planning to pick up some new dress shirts and I have always-always-always been able to find their 3 for $99 deal easily online if it wasn't immediately front and center on their website. For the life of me, I can't find anything the past month or two.
Does it come and go during the year and I've just been lucky in the past or did CT drop this? I've found some other deals but all are in price ranges where I have other comparable options...
Thanks!
