Of course there are some items I don't and won't like $300 or more on a blank no logo tshirt I'm happy buying 6 x $50 ones instead which to some people $50 is already expensive.

I’d say 95% of my wardrobe is Lulu and it’s just all unmarked long sleeves, T’s and pants. Some people think it’s crazy to spend $65-$80 on a t shirt but when it lasts 4 years and looks pretty much new the entire time plus feels better than the cheaper alternative, I’ll never switch back
The annoying part is when you get something new/newish and inadvertently damage it. During new years I was stoking a fire at a friends place right before we were about to leave and caught my 2-3 year old arteryx jacket on the edge of the door, melted a nice hole in it. While I got 2-3 years out of it it was still in perfect condition moving forward but now I just put a stupid hole in an $800 jacket will try to get it sewn back together but is just like this ugggggg moment that I wouldn’t have in some cheap hoodie etc.
I did the same with a virtually brand new ski jacket was lit af and roasting marshmallows and in my attempt to put the fire out on the marshmallow flung the flaming ball of goo right onto the shoulder of my jacket… that was an expensive marshmallow.
I’m of the mind though that if you can’t afford to go out and instantly replace said garment without a second thought, then it’s quite a risk to be wearing something so expensive
