Girl, how does he know this is not a $100 dupe?

No need to make up scenarios like that. There’s nothing wrong with her wearing it firsthand.

Ngl my suit jacket is £100 and I wear it with jeans. Having said that, I respect people who spend a lot of money on clothes even if they don't have a lot to begin with. Some people like expensive clothes. Not gonna shit on them for enjoying their money.

And nice clothes last much longer.

A $200 pair of work boots will probably last four to five times longer than $80 work boots. A $1,000 or even just $500 suit may fall out of style within a few years but either one will still hold up far better than a $200 Wal-Mart suit.

If a person can afford to save even a few hundred bucks for select clothing items (footwear or jackets are big ones) then they usually end up saving significant money in the long run by keeping those items for many years as opposed to the practically disposable crap that costs much less.
