How many clothes should a man have?

Now that you know what clothes are out there for men, it's time to ask yourself how many you should own.

1. Define your needs based on your daily life

Of course, there's no universal answer to this question. Since everyone is very different, depending on where they live and what they do, it's impossible to give a magic number that will work for everyone.

The idea is to get to know yourself by observing your daily life.

For example, you can count for a week , starting next Monday, the number and type of clothing you have used . Feel free to take notes on a piece of paper or in your phone during the week.

By the end of the week, you'll have an extremely accurate count of each part of your wardrobe: top, bottom, and underwear.

The ideal would be to have this perfect number of clothes, with a margin in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Why are LUDIS playsuits revolutionizing fashion?

The concept of LUDIS is to add novelty to men's wardrobes!

Noting that there was little change in the men's fashion industry, we decided in 2018 to embark on the adventure and create our own clothes.

This is how LUDIS men's playsuits were born. Initially designed for men, LUDIS decided in 2020 to expand the range by adding women's models.

The revolution in all this? Never buy T-shirts and shorts again:

• Good color schemes never look good together, and you often end up with a mismatched outfit.
• Stand out from the crowd with a garment that is absolutely unique in the world
• Embody values ​​of solidarity and respect for the environment by purchasing a Made in France garment, designed in Marseille with eco-responsible fabrics and supplies (labels, embroidery, cord).

3. Choose between ethics, quality, and quantity

Now that you have your precise number that suits you perfectly, you will have to make a choice.

Do you want to own more clothes than you need to live in "comfort," at the expense of the environment?

Do you want to buy clothes based solely on price? Or will you prioritize quality while also considering environmental impact?

Will you prioritize branding and the popularity it will bring you? Or will you prioritize a brand that emphasizes deep commitments?

These are all questions you should ask yourself before making a purchase and which LUDIS cannot answer for you.

What really matters is taking the time to think about these questions in order to live in accordance with your values ​​every day!
