Huh? Which part is strictly a working class thing?

There's a large spectrum between "I'll wear it until it falls apart," and, "I've never worn this but I need space for new clothes so it's going to goodwill," and working class people fall all over it.

Women generally tend to be the ones who will more frequently refresh their wardrobe. All you have to do is go to a thrift store to see the difference between genders. The women's clothing section will be massive, and the men's section significantly smaller.

I get what you are saying. But in this context this is kind of like a “dad joke.” Do we think being pedantic about the terminology is really reinforcing some kind of negative gender stereotype here? Or minimizing the working class?

This is the cycle even for me and I'm independently wealthy. Wealthy as a horse, if you will.

(I have many leatherbound books.)

Yaaaay, my mom never ever throw a shirt, clothes are so expensive, she couldn't afford a new one every time she does anything that could damage them.

(Tbh, I do the same for the same reasons)

More like a manual labor thing tbh. Plenty of working class folks who are no less working class but don't need to cycle through clothes
