when to get new clothes?

Wearing the new clothes has made me feel so proud of my accomplishment I can't help but pose in mirrors as I walk by them. My motivation has only intensified and well worth the money spent.
All of this is 100% true.
Don't forget to buy snazzy shoes to go with the clothes. I like square tipped black shoes, or square tipped boots. A nice pair of black shoes, paired with trim dark wash pants, and a nice button up shirt (I like purple), super masculine, and very authoritative looking. I think people forget how much power is in perception, and thereby in clothing. It's very empowering.0 -
hmmm "buying new clothes" as an event or a one time thing I don't really get. I'm constantly picking up one or two things I like as I see them, so my closet is always evolving, with my job I have to stay on trend. I'm pretty much always shopping, buying what I like and what fits that day. I've been in maintenance for some time now with my focus being strength so even though I have noticed I'm getting smaller sizes in some things occasionally, it is very very slow0

I replace a few essential pieces as I need them.
My favorite jeans had gotten ridiculous looking, even with a belt. I'm glad I spotted a size lower on sale some time ago and bought them then. They are starting to get loose now
In about 10 more pounds down, I will have clothes in my closet that will fit again.
I'm starting to make a pile of too big clothes to freecycle.0 -
I shop clearance racks, yard sales and thrift shops for cloths. I buy small, and alter as I go. I can not have my pants falling off when I walk. I do have two elastic waist skirts, one pair of leggings, my nightgowns and some now over sized t's and sweat shirts, that I still can wear from the beginning of my weight loss journey.0

Yes, the pants falling off. A very clear sign that. Just had that happen the other day.0

one of my fun rewards of losing weight is to buy something in a smaller size. I have a very, nice walk-in closet where the hangers hang empty of clothes, as ,most of my clothing has been donated . I don't want to look at them, so I got rid of them Big clothes always seem to fit. (unfortunately)! I buy one or two pieces of clothing in my size and then when my size changes smaller, I buy another, smaller piece of clothing. I can't wait for new clothes until I'm at goal as I have over 100 lbs. to lose. and it will take me about 1 year to lose all that I want. I've lost almost 50 lbs. That being said, it took me awhile to figure out my mad method of keeping covered!0

I actually do it, 6 months in advance; by cold or hot seasons. I had to buy new Autumn/Winter clothes because since I don't have a "thigh gap", the fabric on my pants; wore away there. Last year the holes weren't large enough to be noticed, by anyone but me, so I'll just currently wear them as "junk clothes" around the house; when I am cleaning.
I lost a dress size, over the Summer but nothing was noticeably lose, to the public but my panties, were giving me; constant wedgies. Since I plan to lose 2 more dress sizes, before Spring/Summer; I have bought 2 of everything. I'm very temperature sensitive, so it's important to me to buy for the Autumn/Winter; during the Summer & Spring/Summer, during the Winter.0 -
I've been buying clothes every month or so. I don't buy anything expensive - but my body has been losing inches dramatically and I need to get by month to month without looking like I'm wearing a tent!

I have no intention of buying new clothes until I hit 45lb down (my goal weight). I'm also a guy, and most of my shirts were too tight anyways.
EDIT: honestly though, but them whenever you want. If I had a lot more to lose (say another 30lb) I would probably buy some pants now rather than later.
@hamlet1222 I like to buy clothes as soon as I can wear a size down and rock it. It really depends on how big you are, versus how big you were. I went from a size 44 down to a 33. I had to buy new clothes often. This time, I won't, since I'm going from 38 (only had one pair of 38's, and I still have some 36's).
I actually fit into a looser pair of my 34's last night. Not wearable (buttonable, but just barely), but it's awesome to see progress down. I hate being fat.
Yeah, that is why I told my wife to stop buying them for me until I go to the store. My legs aren't fat, as most of my fat goes to my gut. I might lose a tiny bit around my legs over the next 2-3 months, but not nearly as much as I'll lose on my waist making the problem even worse.
I also hate clothes shopping, so I don't do it for fun. I bought a bathing suit for myself a few months ago so I'd have a couple on vacation, but unless I really need something and my wife doesn't bring it home for me I'm not likely to go to the store.0
