I'm working in downtown Chicago with a few coworkers in a co-working space for the first time since early March, just for a few days this week to work on a project.
It was weird to wake up each day and think about what I wanted to wear. What I noticed as well that is so strange is that ordinarily this time of year, it's getting cooler and I want new fall clothes. I walked into a Madewell shop, and it was just weird... in normal times I would have picked up a few things I liked, but yesterday it was just like "who cares!" There's nothing I need, and working from home I'm probably only wearing 1/10th of my existing wardrobe.
Have any of you scaled way back on buying clothes because it just doesn't matter? I feel bad for good retailers and especially smaller businesses and American-made clothing makers. I typically put decent thought into what I wear and what I buy, but this pandemic is putting me right in that place where it seems so unnecessary to buy any new clothes. I'd rather spend the money on software, plugins for Logic Pro, printing art to hang in my basement, etc.

- I haven't bought a stitch of clothing since April. Maybe a few cool masks and a trucker hat but thats it. I would have normally bought some nice flannelsfooler
- some nice jeans and some new boots. Now i'm fine with all my old clothes and wonder why I was trying to look so cool ( or what I thought my version of cool is)fooler
- I just started wearing jeans again after months of wearing shorts everyday. I have a bunch of raw thick expensive denim I would wear everyday to work.fooler
- now they seem so uncomfortable and constricting to wear around the house. Im more comfortable in my old beat up jeans than my "dress up" jeans.fooler
