How often do you buy or change clothes on a bulk?

Doing my first bulk and its been tough staying in the same clothes. do you guys just keep buying pants to fit you as you grow?

ive been doing lots of leg and core work and noticed i cant even button my pants anymore. im pretty sure(i hope) its from my glutes and legs growing and not my waist. lol

    For me I don't have to buy new clothes because I already have a range of sizes - being pregnant twice that happens! So I have my "bulking" clothes.. leggings, jeans etc. But since you are male, sweatpants, trackpants, looser fitting pants are your best options! I wouldn't spend too much since when you cut you won't need them (but save them if/when you bulk again)

    And unfortunately when bulking, along with muscle you will gain fat, most often in the waist area.

    Maybe try a secondhand shop to save some money?

    I have three sizes of jeans: 32s, 34s, and 36s.

    When I fit into 32s, cuts are over. As soon as I have to put on 36s, bulks are over (though I usually get disgusted with myself well before that point).

    Unfortunately, my 32s are about to go the way of the dodo anyway. Even when cut down last time, my legs barely fit in them, even though the waist was fine. After this cycle, they may not work at all. Sucks too, as I find this particular brand and cut to be the most comfortable I've ever owned.

    I just save my pants or shirts that survive.

    Usually switch to "wife beaters" T's at some point when I get into next level. For bottom galf I sport shorts mainly once my butt/thighs outgrows my jeans, cut weight then repeat.

    If I can no longer fit into my normal pants, the bulk is over.
