Why your wardrobe stopped keeping up
The short answer
Most men do not outgrow their standards. They outgrow their clothes, quietly, over about five years.
Most men do not wake up one morning and decide to dress badly.
What happens is slower. The job changes. The body changes. The rooms you walk into change. The clothes stay the same.
A wardrobe is a record of who you were when you bought it. If nothing has been retired in five years, you are still dressing for a version of yourself that no longer exists.
The fix is not a shopping spree. It is a decision about who you are now, followed by a short list of things that prove it.
