This is an average amount of clothing.

I have coloured hangers in my wardrobe that I use to divide my clothes into sections, and worn and unworn. I have put all my summer things in the wardrobe and as it gets warmer will wear them in turn, any I don't like anymore when I put them on go in the charity bag.

lol, I’ve got at least 100 silk shirts/tops

Thanks to this post, I just had a count of mine and its very similar in numbers to yours op for the main items. I also have blazers/jackets for work but no denim jackets and different shoe set up - but still very similar.

It doesn't seem too excessive. Some of my clothes I've had for 30 years. I've also moved countries to very different climates over the years. I also travel for work to countries with very different expectations of what is appropriate for women to wear so i have some different items for those countries that i don't wear elsewhere

Plus had some phases of weight gain and weight loss. Nothing massive but there have been times where some of my clothes didnt fit or look good.

Plus I love mooching through charity shops for a bargain and bought stuff I dont need.

So, no, not excessive to me even if above average

That's all I have in footwear. No 'proper' shoes at all.

Amateur. My lovely mum had 26 silk shirts alone. 250 skirts, almost 300 pairs of shoes!

MN's moaning they cannot afford x, y or z due to the 'cost of living' 😂

Landfill. Who needs that much.

Indeed it's not. It's a shopping habit.

Most of my winter skirts and dresses are long midi or just above ankle length and winter coats are long so not sure why a pp was going on about there being a gap.

I try to wear all my clothes as regularly as I can. I wear something different every day and always change when I get home from work into a different dress or skirt, not pyjamas. At weekends if I'm going out in the evening I'll change from what I wore during the day.

Doesn’t sound wildly excessive to me. I probably have a similar amount. I definitely don’t have 29 dresses, probably fewer than 10, but I do have some skirts, which you don’t seem to have?

I think I also have fewer shorts, jeans, tops and trainers than you.

Just had a read. Very interesting. I was definitely buying clothes too to fill an insecurity then would feel ashamed. Now that I’ve dropped the shame and embraced the fact that I love clothes and I love shopping (fast fashion and sustainability issues aside) I actually buy less

There is an article on I thought I didn’t shop much … until I counted my clothes | Shopping | The Guardian about this topic - look at the numbers there.

I have too many clothes, I’m not sure how much I’ve got of everything and a lot doesn’t get worn but I do love clothes. I’ve been good this year as skint. Think I’ve maybe spent £300 since January, this includes new running trainers as old ones done. I think your amount probably is average or just slightly higher. I definitely think some people (not all) will under estimate the amount of clothes they have so they can look down on those who have a weakness for clothes and say they are frivolous. I agree that tights and a dress with long boots is very cosy…can’t say I see many people wearing long skirts/dresses any more though in the winter, not for a long time

I* have way more than that but I'm aware that I'm a bit of a hoarder. I keep meaning to go through everything & get rid but can't bring myself to sort it all out because I know I'll regret letting things go.

I have way more shoes and bags than you OP! Easily 20 pairs of trainers, probably more.
I’m also very impressed that you have managed to find 11 pairs of jeans that you like! I can’t find one…!

This has intrigued me as to how many clothes I have. I think I have a regular amount of ‘normal’ clothes, but perhaps have too many novelty clothes. For example, I’ve got 4 Christmas jumpers, but only 1 regular jumper. I’ve also got a disproportionate amount of trainers compared to other shoes.

@Purplewarrior This is the brand I have: https://loveyourlegs.co.uk/products/warmlegs-fleece-lined-tights

I have about that amount of clothes.......I'm trying really hard to down size but if it doesn't leave the house there and then it gets cycled back til next time 😖

omg. So, I have:

3 dresses for summer
0 pairs of jeans.
0 trousers, half summer, half autumn/winter.
5 tops (tunic tops to wear with leggings)
0 jumpers.
2 black cardigans.
0 shorts.
1 coat
0 denim jackets.
0 gym sets.
1 trainers.
0 sandals.
1 boots.
0 swimsuits.
0 swim coverups.

pius…

7 pairs of black leggings :)
1 pair of pretend crocs
10 black long/short sleeved tops to wear with leggings under my 5 tops.
3 pairs of pjs

I’m so rubbish at clothes shopping ;( I literally wear clothes till they wear out, and do 1 wash per week 🤣

Where do you all store so many clothes? My clothes fit in a chest of drawers, my built in wardrobe is storage for things like extra bedding, paperwork etc.

I wish I was as disciplined. My wardrobe cries out for a clear out but I cannot find the time :(

I also need to steel myself emotionally to give away my things as some of them I wore when I was a sweet young thing. I think I will have to photograph the items first before I can let go.

Primark sell them. I can't remember the brand I have - I'll have to check.

I have one of most things (jeans, shorts, swimsuit), maybe 5 t-shirts, 2 cardigans, 2 dresses. I only buy it if I'm going to really wear it. Maybe it's my autism. With shoes I have one of each type (boots, trainers, flip-flops, heels).

I have two pairs of jeans, one pair of wide legged linen trousers, maybe about five or six summer dresses and one or two smart ones. I'm not sure how many tops and jumpers but they all fit in two drawers. I have quite a lot of gym/casual stuff (leggings, joggers, sweat shirts) which is most of what I wear day to day because I work mostly from home. I'd love to rationalise further and have everything in beautiful fabrics - that's my long term goal.

I have

26 dresses
27 ‘bottoms’ - jeans, skirts, shorts, leggings
14 coats and jackets
27 jumpers, cardigans and fleeces
50 tops, from vests and T shirts to fancy shirts and tunics.

Much less workout gear and footwear than OP, hiking gear included in the above.

It feels like a lot and I keep a spreadsheet to stop myself buying unnecessary duplicates. I’ve been the same dress size for many years but only a handful of items are more than 10 years old.

But … weddings to go to, I’m obliged to get more stuff. I chose this name for a reason.
