Men's Shirts and Socks are Cheaper |
|
|
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.

RE: Men's Shirts and Socks are Cheaper
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 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....
