My original reply to Igne follows the exact same premise as the second half of your post which is why I didn't quote it. We obviously agree on that subject.

You can definitely buy clothes that will last for many decades but cuts and styles on even the most basic staple pieces change over time, rendering them unfashionable.

Also most of the people promoting "buy it for life" on fashion forums own like 5-6 pairs of $500+ pseudo work boots and a half dozen pairs of $250+ raw denim while promoting the ideal of clothes that can stand up to every day wear for years. Its just a different way for people to justify spending money on clothes that are seen as fashionable in their circles.

"plainness" is (or can be, i suppose) an intentional 'design' choice

though i suppose you mean your clothes don't have prints

Plainness and simplicity is the bastion of modern fashion and the unconfident in many contexts.

With time everyone branches out

Something like that, except I don't wear just white all the time and i hate jeans!

You aren't calling me unconfident are you? :D

How much of your budget do you spend on your clothes montlhy or yearly?
I' ve been slowly re-impowering myself about dressing. Its not that easy when its been 10 years that this has been at the bottom of my budget list, not to mention time-list. I' ve been relying on things like Christmas and birthdays, asking family to give me clothes as presents, second hand shops etcetera. To give an example, the last time i bought some clothes was 6 months ago, shirts for work. I find it difficult to go out and spend my money on clothes. It annoys me to buy socks and underwear, being the only thing mostly i buy new, and the only things i buy at high prices, cause it made me feel confortable always. But now i would like to be confortable say on the outside. Reading through the pages here, there are many links and i occanionally check them out. But when i see a nice Coat, or outfit that i like, and want, i just cannot bring myself to spend 800-1300 to get that. Mostly i will just look at the page for severalminutes and then close it. Many of my female friends say outlets solve this problem, and i have went with them sometimes. However i find the experience quite nausiating. Hours and hours, noise, and many people whom i see go to the outlet shop super-dressed.
I guess what i want is walking into a taylor, selecting a material i like and having them make me an outfit. Come back days later and pick up the outfit. I just cannot get around spending most of my budget on clothes.
When i did this some 15 years ago, it was paid for, and i rather liked the experience. Dressing well does, as one of my male friends say, make me feel like a better person. In fact lately i have gotten clothes off him, since he was involved in the clothes buisness, but, other the fact that now he has moved to china, i would really like to step into myself and re-establish control over what i have and what i would like to have, and not just what is available from other people around me.
