Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

To clothe myself for an office, maybe 2 years until my work shirts are too ratty.

To clothe myself for going out in public, maybe 5-10 years until my pants are all worn out. Underwear would be pretty horrible by this point.

After 10 years I’m just sitting at home in raggedy t-shirts and sweatpants.
