so for example your d&G suit, do you always wear the whole suit together or sometimes change your pants (approx the same color and shade)?

The same argument could be used to say that about chicks that drop $2000 on a purse or people who drive luxury cars, which cost a hell of a lot more and depreciate even quicker! You drive a Mercedez yourself?
I'm actually a university student. The way I see it, every young guy should have at least one nice suit. I also value quality and I want my clothes to last for decades so fabrics, cut, and style are important to me. I would only wear the whole suit together and NEVER mix. That's why people will buy two pairs of pants. I also won't put it in the washer, I only dry clean.
If I was CEO, I'd possibly start looking at even higher end and my alternate suits would be the $2500 ones (the former IMF president wears $25,000 euro suits even though he's socialist oriented). But that's just me - its also not like you need to buy 10 suits since guys only need a couple staple colors (navy, charcoal, grey, brown, possibly black) and then you are done with it. You don't have to be a CEO to wear these kinds of suits, my cousin recently picked up a D&G or Zegna suit himself (engineer).
