There's another aspect of this. Y'all are assuming cycling out your wardrobe regularly is "normal" and men are "abnormal" because they don't. But the reason women cycle out their wardrobe regularly is not because of some universal law that men ignore, it's because women go through weight fluctuations that render their old clothes unwearable. You'll hear a woman talk about losing 30 pounds and having to buy new clothes because of that... the fact that women's fashion includes a lot of form-fitting items (whereas men's fashion is often looser or more forgiving) certainly contributes to this as well.

I have some items I've had for over 20 years I could still wear, because I haven't had any significant changes in figure in that time... because I'm a guy.

Don't lose weight then, so there won't be need to buy more clothes
