Hi everyone,
I might suggest a different approach. Why not buy what you will need, when you will need it? That doesn't have to mean an outrageous amount of cost. While I haven't had to buy suits and ties during my travels, I have sometimes bought items suitable for cold weather for example during a trip. When I have needed to do that for a short stint of time during a long trip, I have gone to Charity shops and found what i needed with little difficulty. I'm sure I could find a few suits just as easily as a winter parka. The clothing has all been cleaned/drycleaned before going on the rack and there is really nothing to consider other than the 'perception' you yourself might have of wearing used clothing. It's not as if you are going to be buying used underwear.
In the little town where I currently live we have a shop called, 'New To You' where my wife has turned in some quite expensive clothing she no longer requires for example. I doubt anyone buying one of her $500 sweaters for $50 would find people thinking they shopped at a charity shop.
Hi Oldpro,
Thanks for the reply! I intend to buy things only when I need them, however once used, I'm having trouble thinking where I will put the clothes, for example. I can only fit so much in my rucksack.
L-Ro.
What I am suggesting L-Ro is that you buy when you need to and when no longer needed, you return them to the charity shop.
So if you are working in an office environment for say 6 months, you keep them wherever you are living during that period of time. When you stop working in the office and no longer need office apparel, then back to the charity shop they go. I am not suggesting that you carry them around with you. I don't see this as a hard concept to understand.
If you are talking about using some clothes for a while, then moving and not needing them and then moving again and needing them again, then you buy-return-buy-return.
Nice tips OldPro.
I really like the approach.
Ah, i see! Thanks Oldpro, seems like the best thing to do!
