This is an average amount of clothing.

I have double that..I know its not all needed. I have big suit cases in my loft for the out of season clothes just like having them.

I keep my wardrobe to about 75 items not including underwear and accessories but including shoes. If people are shocked by that, I would say: I don’t buy any fast fashion, I don’t have anything I never wear (I have one or two items that I wear rarely because they’re black tie occasion wear), I hire stuff or buy off Vinted then put it straight back on when I need other occasion wear, and I don’t own many pairs of shoes because I have weird feet and most styles don’t fit/aren’t comfortable. If you couldn’t get a basic pair of pumps for under €250 you might not own so many either 🤣. It’s super easy for me to put outfits together- I would get such extreme decision fatigue if I had hundreds of items! I have a couple of gym outfits that wash well and I’ll wash them into the ground then replace. My Patagonia leggings have lasted 7 years so far of constant washing though!

I voted YABU but only because I'm the same and have far too many clothes too. Particularly dresses, sandals, trainers and coats I'm gradually trying to reduce them going through my wardrobe little by little cos I have no more space 😬. I even found a storage box of forgotten sandals today some not worn for years... and I bought new ones last year for my holiday.😅. I need to make few more trips to the Traid bin 😁

I am shocked by how little stuff some people have, in one day alone I wear 3 different changes of clothes - gym outfit (leggings top sweatshirt), work clothes (usually jeans and a top and a blazer) and then home clothes because I am not going to make dinner and watch tv wearing jeans and a blazer. On weekends it could be a forth outfit gym, home, day and dinner.

I’ve probably got more. I don’t even buy lots of clothes (I did revamp quite a bit the last two years after Covid/children) but I’d assume most women would have similar unless you throw away /donate all the time

Wow, I also probably have a 3rd of that, maybe even less. Think I need to go shopping 😂 (to be fair I hate shopping which is probably part of my problem).

You have inspired me though OP .. today I filled two large bin bags with clothes and popped them in the loft. They’re my sweatshirts / wool dresses / autumn type stuff so I’ll look at them again in 5 months time

I celebrated by buying a new top and 2 dresses!

@Bertiebiscuit god don’t you get bored with like 4 t shirts?

WTF! Where do you keep it all!!?

It’s ridiculous spread over two fitted wardrobes and two big chest of drawers and then another wardrobe in a spare bedroom. The shoes are out of control and there’s boxes under nearly every bed. I need to get it sorted. There’s no way I need even a fraction of it. I enjoy looking at clothes and assembling an outfit but shoes are my downfall.

My wardrobe would be about the same.
A lot of clothes I’ve collected over years.
I’ve also donated, sold plenty of items.
I really could do with a big edit, though…

Yep. Me too.

That’s your whole wardrobe? It sounds like what I’d pack for a weekend away minus the jackets 🤣

Yes - but she doesn’t own any!

That’s a mighty big wardrobe you have there!

I couldn’t even begin to count my clothes. Well over 100 dresses. 40 pairs of jeans. Definitely more than a 100 tops. I have 20 ish blazers, and over 150 pairs of shoes. I genuinely didn’t know people wore so few clothes.

Everybodies different though. I find trousers a bit chilly in winter and can be too bulky if you layer underneath.
Skirts/dresses can be warmer....it's all about the tights (I go from opaque to thermal to fur lined). I'm in the SE and it wasn't cold enough for my fur lined tights this year!

Does it matter if you have tons of clothes? I enjoy fashion and wearing different things so it's kinda like a hobby. I have a friend who has hundreds of needlepoint kits, it's something she loves and can afford so good for her!
Although I did shock myself recently when I realised I had about 50 t shirts and not a single one was plain!😆

I have about the same. Lots of Vinted purchases lately Have always kept my old favourites "in case my weight goes back down" though!

I appreciate the clarification; if you have the wardrobe space, then have the clothes you can afford & can fit into storage. My husband and I are in a house with a loft conversion so one set of clothes (currently winter) are in the loft while my summer clothes are in my wardrobe.

I probably have more , it is definitely a problem (for me).

I’ve got 4 pairs of jeans!! Maybe 10 dresses. Definitely a lot less clothes than you. The only thing I have a lot of is T-shirts. But I do wear them all.

I have about the same , a few less pairs of jeans Why does it matter though ?

I am with you on the leggings and joggers, but trousers can be beautiful and much easier to wear in the Winter.

You enjoy your clothes and I hope you find many more that sparks joy!

I don't think there is a normal amount, I've never thought about how many other people might have but my friend just did a wardrobe clearout and gave 17 black bags to the charity shop, impressive!

The thing with my clothes is my wardrobe looks like something out of sex and the city but all I wear most days is a t shirt and leggings because I'm just walking the dog, cleaning the house etc. Doesn't stop me from buying all the pretty dresses!
