Newton: I've spent thousands, maybe millions on clothes I wore once

Keeping up with the latest fashion trends hasn't been cheap for Cam Newton.

The New England Patriots quarterback explained how he's taking a new approach this year when it comes to buying clothes in a vlog uploaded on his YouTube channel Sunday.

"One of my stress defusers is to shop, and one of my New Year's resolutions is to not buy high fashion," Newton said around the 2:30 mark.

"I want to be more of a thrift store shopper. I want to be more of a vintage shopper. I want to be more of a person that finds gems in stores that are less expensive and to still be able to give it its fine look, but I'm still myself.

"I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars, maybe even millions of dollars on clothes that I only wore once. So to be able to recycle the closet, so to speak, is something that's challenging, but at the same time, it's going to be fun to do so throughout this whole year."

Despite a tighter budget, Newton sounds confident in his ability to continue putting together the bold looks he's known for.

"It's the old saying that swag isn't on you, swag is in you," he said.
