This is an average amount of clothing.

I know about seasonal weather, I live in the U.K. I don’t have anywhere 68 tops and always have plenty of choice in what to wear, whatever the weather or occasion.

18 pairs of shorts? Do we actually have 18 sunny days in this country?

I probably have more but different stuff, not much swimwear and shorts. I have plenty of room for them though as I didn't want to waste DS's wardrobe and drawers when he moved out.

All fur coat and no knickers?😂

I’ve got loads. Probably more than the op. I have classic taste, like quality items and look after things so they last years. I like to mix up colours and styles depending on my mood and what I’m up to. I would be so miserable with the same things each week.

I’m always selling things on Vinted though. It’s funded a big trip we’re taking later in the year.

68 tops might be a lot in a sunny climate but we have cold and seasonal weather which requires layering most of the time. Winter wool jumpers, merino wool jumpers, cardigans, cotton jumpers, v neck jumpers, round neck jumpers, long sleeve jumpers, short sleeve jumpers, polo necks. Then move on to cotton long sleeve tops, plain tops, striped tops, v neck tops, round neck tops, long sleeve, mid sleeve, short sleeve. Then vest tops - round neck, v neck. Then the above tops in various colours. These are only the plain tops. Then add some patterns to help us feel less drab in our grey climate. Then we need trousers - wool trousers, cotton trousers, jeans - dark, mid blue, light blue, cream, white. Barrel trousers, wide trousers, barrel jeans, wide jeans. jeans of varying lengths to wear with different shoe heights, cords, light summer trousers, long summer trousers, shorter length summer trousers. Then skirts and dresses - wool for winter and cotton for summer. Then some co-ords and some smarter clothes for when you have to look smart and a couple of 'statement pieces that make you feel good. Then some occasion clothes for weddings, funerals and various family occasions. A few 'going out' type clothes for meeting friends in restaurants and one or two for pubs and dancing (personally one or two of this category is enough for me as I don't go out dancing anymore). Then loungewear and comfy style clothes for school runs and dog walking. Then coats that go with the above - long coats, short coats, heavy coats, light coats, coats with hoods, coats with collars, pattern coats, and various colours. I've missed loads but it easily adds up.......

You must have a lot of closet and drawer space. I think I have some closet envy. Mine is tiny.

With that many clothes, do you ever wear things out? I'm putting winter stuff away and I've found two shirts and a pair of pants that are just worn out.

I feel better now!

Quite a lot for one man

I once cleared out my underwear drawer and I counted 108 knickers. I had no idea why I accumulated them all and half were the wrong size.

🙄 Not average for anyone I know mate!

Unless this is the amount of stuff you have EVER owned. In 50 years.

My DH said I need to cut back on the number of coats and jackets I have... 30+ I think (!). Jumpers are quite numerous top, and vest tops/t-shirts.

I probably have 20 pairs of jeans and trousers too. Yes - it's probably quite excessive/expensive but i buy a lot of Vinted and supermarket clothes, so noting hugely costly.

I was in M&S today though and they had some really gorgeous things, and Urban Outfitters too. I did feel quite a bit too old for the clothes there,as everyone was about half my age at 20! 🤣😆

I think this too! Who are these teeny wardrobe people? They seem strange to me…

It was the 68 tops that sounded a bit insane to me… that’s a different top for nearly 10 weeks running!
I also have quite a ridiculous number of coats and jackets. And boots.

I feel like i wrote this post!

I don’t think I’m far off, if tops include t shirts. A lot of my clothes are secondhand.

I do when I reorganise the cupboards and wardrobe.

As a man who likes clothes, no that's fine. As a man who is married to a woman who doesn't care what she wears, but has 2 wardrobes full... you're probably slacking. Seriously my wife has about 20 dresses, 100 tops, 50 skirts...I have 7 suits, 15+ sports jackets, 10 pairs of trousers, 20+shirts...so I know what we have

7 coats is not a lot! I have a wardrobe and a huge hanging rail of coats and jackets. I do not have 21 cardigans though! Probably have about 5.

People are going to deny they have any clothes and insist they have 2 of each item on rotation- this is MN where everyone exists on a 1 chicken a month for a family of 6, nobody has any money and they all eat lentils and crochet their own knickers!

I don't want to count.

But then, i have 30 years worth of clothes, so that's part of the problem. In fact, the shorts I had on today were the ones I used to wear as a play leader, 25 years ago.i tend to put things away in case I might wear them again. Or I buy doubles, in case my favourite dies.

On the plus side, it's rare that I'm stuck without an outfit.

So you know exactly how many dresses, tops, trousers, knickers you actually own??

That is probably fair - I repair my clothes rather than replace them.

I turned a dress with a tear in it into a top last week, for example.

I have waaaaay more clothes than this…

Who needs 11 pairs of jeans? Surely some of those you never wear?
