If you were to spend $2,000 on clothing, where would you go to spend it?

It would have to be a store that caters to petites. And it would have to be on sale. Everything eventually comes on sale.

My heart couldn’t tolerate me spending $2000 in one go.

A few winters ago I was ready to invest that in a Canada Goose coat in a petite size. It had to be bright red or blue, so I could be seen in a snow storm. I told these absolutes to the clerk and she kept hauling everything out but those. I left with my money. I did end up buying a much lower priced down coat on sale at the Bay.

Probably Macy’s. My wife would most likely go to Dillard’s. We don’t buy much high end designer clothing anymore. My wife used to like Versace and Michael Kors. If we go to a high end wedding, she may still go to one of the designers to get a new dress, pocket book and shoes. She always worries about another woman wearing the same dress, or that’s the excuse I get.

By the way, why do women always buy a new pocketbook when they get a new pair of shoes?

So they match!

They closed Sears and Macy's at the nearest mall, so I'd probably go to Penney's and Dillard's. I'm picky about buying clothes, as for fit and color(s) but that doesn't mean they have to be expensive. I could find a lot for $2000, even with today's prices.

Dillards used to have racks of the clothing brands I like at 65% off but all they have now are 40% off. So Dillard's is off my list. I don't like Penney's .

I could afford to spend more but the Scot in me insists on bargains. It just grinds me to pay full price....
 
I have noticed that some of the young are wearing highwater jeans not exactly bell bottoms and
spotted a teen guy, blue,, green,, and black hair,& sort of a navy like black outfit on, long legged wide bottom pants.

$2000 is not that much and if I had to spend it on clothing, I would have liked to have shopped at The Bay, but they're closing now. So now, it would probably be Northern Reflections as that is where I now usually buy my clothes.

For $2,000 I can fill a wardrobe. Virtually all my clothes, including hats and shoes, are bespoke, or made to measure, if you prefer. When you have a talented wife, the labour costs are nil, (but I do spoil her.) Barrington Fabrics is where most of the fabric for my blazers comes from. Colin Johnson makes my shoes. I go to Gamble & Gunn for my hats and my shirts, trousers and almost everything else, are straight off my wife's sewing machine.
 
I don’t have a favorite clothing store though I do like Nordstrom and Macy.

The pleasure for me in spending 2 grand on clothing would be to have the money for natural fiber clothing. A cotton or linen blouse always costs considerably more than a polyester/poly blend or rayon blend fabric.

I don’t react well to man-made fibers, especially polyester, so I’m always on the lookout for natural fabrics that I can afford, that are on sale or clearance. I don’t own anything made of polyester.

$2000 on clothing? You have to be joking.

It doesn’t take long, even if one farms or works outside.

My nephew is 6’2” and beefy. He sometimes has to be outside for his job and doesn’t care to be cold or frost bit. Insulated boots, carhartt bibs to fit him, insulated hat & gloves was around a $500 bill for him, without the jacket.

My Muck brand shoes for the barn were $90 this last time. Except for mowing, they are all I wear when I’m outside. They hold up - I am only on my third pair in 22 years - they started out at $75 and are now up tp $90 but worth every penny.

When I get on the tractors, I wear Ariats with side zippers. Those were not cheap either but I’m still on my first pair from 15 years ago🤠🤠

That said, as far as the clothes I wear since I retired? If WalMart or Tractor Supply doesn’t have it, I don’t buy it. Walmart sells Playtex 18 Hour bras, so I‘m good in that department too 👍👍
