Obviously, we all have different income levels - that's why I asked the question as what proportion of income.

Though you've made me feel much better about my spending Divvy

I honestly don't know if I'd be able to tell if a man/woman was wearing a $600 suit or a $2000 suit. But I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that grooming (hair, nails, make-up, polished shoes) can make or break an outfit. Not that I wear suits any more but when I do (again), I'm going to pay more attention to grooming. Hopefully.
