Glamorous should be an insult.

There is nothing fun or glamorous about wearing your dress more than once, recycling, buying second hand,

Glamorous means excessive and even fraudulent

Glamor:

an attractive or exciting quality that makes certain people or things seem appealing.

I don’t know about fun but getting a lot of use out of a product is very satisfying to me. I want my things to last. If I only wear a piece of clothing once I am very dissatisfied. I have mended clothes or altered them to get more use out of them. I know I have shirts that I have worn more than 100 times and am sad when I have to consign them to the rag bag.

I wear 10 work shirts every two weeks and then wash them. I probably have 20 to choose from but I mostly wear the same 10 or 12 favorites. That is 26 uses a year and I know most of them are more than 4 years old and I have at least three that are 10 years old as they have the logo from companies that I have not work with in the last 10 years. They did not always get worn once every other week. I used to only wear polo style shirts on Fridays. I wonder how many times Steve Jobs wore each of his black turtlenecks.

My shirts, I did not buy any of them. About once a year someone gives me a shirt. I still have one from where I donate blood, 5 from my current employer, one from a supplier, 3 from a former employer, one from a tech society, 3 that were Christmas gifts or birthday gifts, 3 my wife bought me because she thought the were nice and were on sale and a few more that I don’t remember where I got them, they might have been my Dad’s.
