Should You Buy $200 Jeans? (Ep. 63)

Should You Buy $200 Jeans? (Ep. 63)

Let me say this upfront: For some of us, the idea of spending $200 on a single pair of jeans sounds outrageous, while for others, it's a bargain. For most of my life, I fell squarely in the first camp. Clothing has always been a complicated and sensitive topic for me, for reasons I get into here. In this episode, I talk about why for me my $200 pair of jeans represents a step toward taking ownership of my apparel (perhaps for the first time). Eugene and I also discuss how we like to shop for clothes, what we think our style represents, and some of our favorite brands. We hope you give this a listen!
