No it's not average, but TBH I probably have alot more!
Does it matter how many clothes you have?

Confuserr · 09/05/2026 21:29

Did you mean to make your post a question or a statement?
Anyway I probably have more than that. Not as many jeans but lots more coats/jackets. I like clothes (obv) and have to have completely different stuff for work v play. Also I've been pretty much the same size for 20 years and try to look after pieces I like.

For a clothes shop? Absolutely.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 09/05/2026 21:28

I’ve probably got more. Definitely more shoes. It’s too much.

mathanxiety · 09/05/2026 21:28

I think you could weed out the cardigans and tops.

Depends on whether all of this is combined work and casual wear though.

Octavia64 · 09/05/2026 21:28

Christ really!

do you work in fashion?

TheRozzers · 09/05/2026 21:27

This sounds like my wardrobe so I voted YANBU. However I recognise it’s a lot and more than necessary. I only wear about 10% of it and some are over 10 years old.

Eenameenadeeka · 09/05/2026 21:26

I don't have anywhere near that.

TheZTeam · 09/05/2026 21:26

I don’t have anything near that.

That's an average amount of clothing in a charity shop not in someone's wardrobe!

Kleptronic · 09/05/2026 21:26

68 tops?? Kinell

WhaleEye · 09/05/2026 21:26

I have about 1/3 of that.

OneTimeThingToday · 09/05/2026 21:25

Id say a chest of drawrrs, a wardrobe and perhaps a storage box of out of season clothes is average.

Thats 2-3 times that

TheGirlWhoLived · 09/05/2026 21:25

Well I have probably slightly more than that but I work in retail and rotate my wardrobe seasonally

UniquePinkSwan · 09/05/2026 21:24

You know it’s not average

UnPetitDunPetit · 09/05/2026 21:24

Is this for a family of four?
