With all your winter gear on, how much money are you wearing?

Asked by wildpotato (15224points) January 7th, 2010

I’m just curious – the question occurred to me today, and I’d never thought about it before. I thought I’d share this little exercise with you all because I think it’s an interesting way to self-examine, and also because I wonder about how much money other peoples’ clothes represent. Let’s discount jewelry (watches and cuff links included), glasses/sunglasses, and accessories like purses and and backpacks. Edit thanks, daloon: purchase price was what I was wondering about, but if you guys think it’s interesting to discuss discounted value as well, have at it!

Today I was wearing about $325 in clothes and outerwear. I think this is average for me during the winter, although the number dips considerably when I go out in anything other than my favorite hoodie.

How about you?

Edit: After reading the first few answers thanks guys, way to anticipate!, I realize now that perhaps it would be helpful to include little note about the weather where you live. I’m in NYC, where we are getting some super frigid air from the north at the moment.
