I own 4, but hey, they go with everything and there's always something slightly different with each pair !!
I think if you get to 12 then it's time to reassess your wardrobe!

Ahh, but the black t shirt is such a staple that you really need one for each day of the week. So, nip out and buy another one of those

I'm like this with jeans. I am addicted to buying them , even though I hardly wear all the ones I've got.

One.

Cropped trousers are not a good look on me.

gosh, I don't have any. I don't actually own anything in linen.

I have lots of dresses though, that's my weakness.

Cropped trousers are great but I don't have any black ones. But if I was off to Scotland I'd be in my walking trousers (I'm a very sad person)

I don't like cropped trousers, sorry. Think they cut you off in the wrong place, make your legs look shorter and stumpier. Even when you are tall and willowy. And who can lay claim to that title? Not many of us

I look ridiculous in cropped trousers. I do have one white linen pair. White linen trousers are my thing have about five pairs.
