A mandatory $30 for jeans?! I don't think I've EVER paid that much for a pair of pants in my life that were not meant to be worn with a suit or tuxedo. Come on now, why does it matter if the clothes are inexpensive, just so long as they look good on him? We all can't be spending our weekly incomes on pieces of fabric (and yes, that's all clothes are to me - stuff to keep me from indency). To be honest with you - I feel just as secure - and look just as good - in a $12 button down black shirt and $16 khaki pants as in many $500 suits. It's all about wearing what's best for you.

*sigh* I'm not saying it's manditory. I just figured that since it seems to be a pretty normal price for jeans, it was a good price to quote. I've spent $40-50 on jeans that fit me well just because I know that I get the best use out of jeans that I like. However...I've been to outlet malls where I bought jeans I liked for $20. I'm not writing these in stones people.
The point of even going over that was so people would know that you don't need to spend crazy money on clothes, but you shouldn't try to cut corners when it comes to looking presentable. You normally get what you pay for. However...if a cheap clothing line looks good on you, by all means, get it. Everyone's body is different. I have no idea where you shop but I wouldn't point any guy in the direction of, let's say, Conway or K-mart to get nice clothes. Hell, you can find some fabulous but cheap things at thrift stores. Go there if you want to. I don't care. But don't get fake leather coats and think you're fooling anyone.
