I read somewhere in an industry report that the British buy more items of clothing and footwear per head of population per year than anywhere else in Europe. Which leads me to wonder why it is that they are also among the worst dressed ( except the Germans of course, they take that skill to a whole other level )

Buy more items or spend more money?

More items at lower prices. British obsession with cheap. But then, if you pause to look at them, it shows.

I occasionally go to the West End and see some extraordainarily poorly shaped people looking very good in whatever they are wearing. Clearly the result of high quality well cut clothes (possibly bespoke). Wish I had the money to do that - it would be so satisfying...

My father, who was not rich, more perhaps what used to be called "comfortably off", always wore bespoke suits. He would have one made once a year around November and always had six or seven on the go. The new one would replace the oldest one each year. It was his little indulgence and I have to say, he did always look immaculate.
