A signature sweater I could wear for the next 5-10 years might be worth it at the original $1400 price and it's certainly worth $500.
Clothes are an investment. I have pieces I bought 10 years ago that women still stop me and ask about. I am wearing a gown next week I bought in the 90s, as it is timeless and beautifully constructed and it fits the bride's theme. (Or I may wear this new short cocktail dress I totally love because who thinks "the 30s" is an appropriate theme for a wedding.)
Having a sense of style has nothing to do with spending a lot of money on clothes, to be sure. That does not mean that it's not important to buy some killer stuff, wear them with confidence, and assemble them into a wardrobe.

2. I have three or four pair of shoes I bought in 2001 that I still wear today. They were expensive, but for that kind of mileage (and they're still going), it's a bargain. Same with watches. Buy one classic design and you're done with that accessory for 20 years.
Santoni. Best shoes ever made. Fit you like a glove and never wear out.
Same goes for cars. Do it right once and get 250k out of the vehicle. These asshats flipping Escalades, Range Rovers and junk like that at 36k deserve to go bankrupt.
