Looking good and practicing law

As a small law paralegal, I wore thrifted $10 suits to court. I'm quite the lord of frugality and paying big change for "unnecessary" things like style makes my skin crawl, but I'm very aware that looking presentable is a practical necessity in the practice of law (at least in court and in biglaw). Do any practicing attorneys feel like their getting away with paying less for self-presentation? Will I need to suck it up and reserve $5,000.00 for work clothes per year, when I'm in the field? Any thoughts on this topic are welcome. Clearly, this is a bored post...

It depends on your firm and practice area. At my firm, the securities and appellate dudes dress very well. The patent lawyers dress, well, LOL.

The vast majority of lawyers dress like complete shit.

I'm confused are you saying that's a bad thing? I stopped at 17, but not everyone has to
