Oh never mind I guess. How do you even stay effay during these trying times? Most of my clothing is from when I was mid 20s and I feel like I reached the point of dressing a bit more mature, subtle and elegant but holy shit with prices like this it's like daytime robbery. What do?
>inb4 get better job
I'm working on it but it's like couple years down the line.
>inb4 thrift
Never works for me as XS/S sizes are extremely rare in those. Also wearing used clothing is kind of degrading.

Just start wearing girl clothes since you are built like one

You live in one of the most important countries in the world in terms of clothes production and coincidentally one of the highest quality one. You are absolutely able to purchase a wardrobe fully made in the British Isles for a relatively affordable price. You haven't been looking very hard if the best you can do is Anglo-Italian.

>jacket/coat
No more than £400 for entry level stuff, coats around £600 for good quality ones.
>boots
£300 tops
>trousers
£150
>knitwear
£120 for fair isle sweaters, even less for scottish knits
>accessories
depends on what you call accessories

I'm ~5'9 it's just US/UK sizing is stupid where "small" means clothing for 6 feet tall giants. I'm taller than majority of women but yeah sure still bellow "small" for a man somehow.

Any brand recommendations?

Only Sanders comes to mind but their shoes kind of meh.

I don't know where did you get this from. Renting the most bottom of a barrel apartment starts at £1K way out of my budget. I'm sharing.
>buying overpriced designer shit
Thread is literally about how I'm NOT buying anything because I can't afford it.
It's like you just had hate boner and decided this is a good thread to bust it using own made up narrative. Did your stepdad just raped you so you crawled up here to "stick it back"?

Look if I have a job which keeps me busy 40 hours a week let's not pretend it worth absolutely nothing. They sure as hell going through your CV very thoroughly when applying to "retard-tier" jobs while hiring actual retards alongside to gaslight you into thinking you're on the same level and don't deserve more.

1. If thrift stores are too ratty try finding a trade/reuse group online they might be able to connect you to a person closer to your body size.

2. Look into a low commitment side income, plenty of people will pay for one off services, or small homemade good if you have any even remotely marketable ability.

3. Open an only fans I guess, at XS you'd probably do fine as a femboy.
