If you think women have a hard time buying clothes because of rising prices, think again. Clothes for men can be a lot pricier than women's clothes. There can be all sorts of theories behind why this is so. Some argue that it's because men don't shop for clothes that much. Others may say that men's clothes are made durable so that they don't have to shop that much. There is no real reason behind it but one thing is for sure: as the prices go up, so do the prices for men's clothing. And here is a peek at some of the most expensive clothing items on the market today.

• Shoes – Sure, you might think a pair of Nike's or a pair of leathers is costly if they are priced over $100 to $200. But imagine spending 5 to 8 times that amount. That's right; you can end up spending that amount if you buy yourself a pair of Berluti-branded shoes.

The shoes are known as the Rapieces Reprises and this is the most expensive pair alongside other known brands like Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo and Edward Green. Still arguing that women spend too much on too many shoes? Imagine what men can buy for more money and less quantity!

• Sneakers – You may think that a pair of formal, fashionable shoes is really expensive much like the earlier mentioned pair by Berluti. But can you imagine spending even more for a pair of sneakers?

Everybody wears sneakers; they are the shoe of choice for any occasion, except when going to a black-tie party, of course. In Atlanta, however, you just might catch yourself yearning to take part of a customization service given by a store called Laced Up. You can have anything placed on a pair of Nike's, including diamonds and gold! In fact, the first shoe that was offered out of that company was worth $50,000! Now that is the epitome of expensive!

• Suit – Whether you like it or not, one day you will need to invest in a suit. Every man needs one; it's essential for the most formal of occasions, like a wedding or something more solemn like a funeral. Of course, suits can be quite expensive but once you catch wind of how much some of the most expensive ones are, it's doubtful you will keep complaining.

Think about investing in an Issey Miyake suit for over $2500 dollars. Or for something even more expensive, like a Brioni for $6000! Brands like these among Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren and Jay Kos have made it their mission to make the most sophisticated of suits made of the most expensive materials. If you can afford them, that's well and good. But if you can't, there really is no need to complain because those prices are quite out of this world!

• Slippers – Yes, it seems slippers too have found a niche market and the most expensive ones were sold by a jeweler who managed to rake in $17,000 for a pair of gold-feathered, diamond-accented flip flops! Other slippers in the same line sold for $2000 at the very least.
