Several years ago, when I had gotten a job working in a casino restaurant. I was required to wear white button down shirts, black slacks, black shoes, black socks. I quickly realized that my shirts were going to be stained nearly every day and I did not want to spend my whole paycheck on clothes. I found out that I could buy men's shirts and socks for about 1/2 the price as I could buy women's. Actually, I was able to buy a pack of several men's black socks for the same price as I could have gotten for 2 pairs of women's black socks! I was buying 2 men's white dress shirts for the same cost as 1 ladies blouse cost. No boss ever questioned me about my attire.
This is a great idea! I usually get men's a-line shirts to wear under white shirts or thin materials. They are longer than women's tank tops and you can buy a pack of 5 for about the same as 1 or 2 women's tanks!
I started buying men's shoes, like sandals & gym shoes. They are cheaper & sturdier than women's. Men's shoes run 2 sizes smaller than women's. For example, if you wear a women's size 10 shoe, you would fit into a men's size 8; if you wore a size 8 women's shoe, you would fit into a men's size 6 and so on.
I ALWAYS BUY MENS BLUE JEANS. NOT ONLY DO THEY FIT BETTER AND ARE MORE COMFORTABLE BUT THEY ARE CHEAPER AND SEEM TO LAST LONGER. MENS SOCKS ALSO SEEM TO BE THICKER AND OF BETTER QUALITY.AND I LOVE MENS FLANNEL SHIRTS.
I also have worn men's pants - they are better sized than women's - and small men's jackets. Men's clothes are so much better made. And I don't think anyone notices the difference in the way you button them. Colorful men's shirts make nice "artist" shirts, too. And I have worn men's tux shirts, too....
I worked in a dry cleaners for many years and believe it or not to launder a ladies blouse was $3.75; a mans shirts was $1.19.....another big savings there too!
