Ladies how much do you spend on clothes

[Newyorklady]

How much do you spend on clothes monthly ?
I spend approx £100 a month.
i never buy high price items but rarely shop at low end shops. Mostly High street shops.
I feel like this is indulgent. I’m trying to cut it back as I could be saving the money.
i don’t go into any debt as better off than I’ve ever been. But I guess the money could go on other things.
I used to hardly spend anything and this is my indulgence. I wonder if that plays a part now as I could never afford it.
My only other treats are odd meals out and occasional social events.
Interested to see what you ladies spend and also if not clothes any indulgences ?

£0 most months. Not a follower of fashion and only buy when I need something. I did spend £200 yesterday as I needed a new pair of jeans and a couple of casual spring tops but that will probably be it for several months.

Generally £0. How often do you need new clothes. I did buy some new gym clothes last month but I don’t foresee spending anything this month or next month. I might get a few new bits to go on holiday in the summer but not much as the stuff from last year and the year before is still fine. I may pick up a charity shop bargain if I see one though.

edited to say I actually forgot. I had a refund for Amazon and so I decided to buy some trail running shoes. I think I put an extra £15 towards them. Does that count?

I had a no buy year for clothes last year and managed apart from buying socks and bras
This year I need new wellies (£70) ideally 2 yard coats (£100) and a new pair of leather boots (£45). I also need new knickers and vests.
I’ve still got lots of clothes, many brand new so I’m ok for a few years yet. Plus there isn’t much that appeals in the shops atm

I already have high end classic coats in red and black.

I'm looking for an everyday padded coat, so far Asda has been the only one to win on this - I most certainly try on coats and shoes.

I spend around £180/month. Mostly high street brands, a bit of vinted, and more premium brands for some outdoor kit (as I find the quality worth it).

Sure I could cut some discretionary spend. But also I wear out clothes - I could not get away with so little as some others are saying? I go through about three sets of running trainers a year, and one set of walking shoes. That lot are around £90 a pair x 4. Work boots, wellies and walking boots last about 2-3 years. Jeans maybe two years. Work shirts look awful after two years.

I live rurally, work in an office, and my hobbies are quite outdoors/exercise oriented.

I paid US $7 for some 2nd hand shorts in February, after one pair split in seat & I was visiting a hot place.
I want to get rid of possessions, try not to spend anything.

Clothes are not a big priority for me. I have zero interest in fashion, I hate shopping, I WFH and I rarely go to events which require me to dress up so I just don’t need to buy clothes frequently.

I suppose I spend around £300-£400 a year, including shoes but I’m not keeping count. Even if this is a slight underestimate, it’s still a negligible amount of money in the context of my finances.

About once a year I spend about £200. I am trying hard not to buy anything new as I have loads of clothes.

I do not have budget, but I buy most of my clothes second hand so it is not that much. I spend a lot of money on footwear though. Definitely more then I should. 😫

I probably spend between £100-200 a month at the moment. I've gone down 6 dress sizes the last couple of years so had a genuine need to replace everything.
But honestly I still haven't got over the excitement of clothes shopping again (just slipping on a size 10 and feeling good about myself?priceless!).
I tend to shop a lot on Vinted, Primark and sales though, I'm not an expensive brand person.

Backs out of thread after realising I may have a shopping problem despite thinking my spending is fairly normal.

In my defence I have a large bust, small back size so have to spend a lot on good underwear and am short so flattering clothes aren't always easy to find.

However, during lockdown I bought a sewing machine and learnt how to take up sleeves and trousers.

I hardly ever bought clothes but then I lost weight from size 16-18 and now I'm a size 10.

Clothes are a huge pleasure now, I did have to replace my whole wardrobe. I tend not to buy brands although have got a few lovely items from charity shops (how amazing are they!) and vinted (not so keen as prefer to try clothes on). We have a a good selection of charity shops in my affluent area that have lots of high branded clothes.

I have bought a few items from shein too and I know it's really not great. A few pairs of tailored trousers and fitted knits for work that were good and will last a good while.

I'm currently spending about 30 per month. But that's loads from charity shop!

I am the same. Bras are expensive. Trousers and jackets have to be petite and well tailored.

Coats need to be from brands that do petite.

Marks and Spencer’s has saved me - I hate, hate, hate next (not sure why - I think it’s because I grew up in a town with limited choice and everyone wore next clothes so we all matched!).

It really depends! February I probably spent about £300. I bought 3 nice spring dresses, some sale items, and other things from charity shops and Vinted.

January I didn't buy any clothes, I had loads of new stuff gifted at Christmas.

December I spent about £250 because I saw some gorgeous stuff for Christmas parties.

This month I've bought some new leggings, some patterned tights, and if I come across anything on Vinted or in charity shops I'll probably buy it. I've also bought a few pieces of jewellery each month, too.

I have two very high quality coats. One is 20 years old (and, to be fair, getting a bit scruffy), the other is 12 years old and looks great because I take care of it.
I have ye olde capsule wardrobe for work and about 20 tops so I am not wearing the same things every day. Also layers and accessories are my friends.
I spent about £50 last year because I needed shorts and socks. I will probably need a couple of new bras this year (massive boobs, not so massive back) so that's about £60-80.
TBH, I could probably (barring massive weight gain/loss) never HAVE to buy clothes again. I might want to though.

I just checked my vinted account and I've spent about £600 since last July. £185 of this was on a Burberry mac and the rest includes items between £10 and £35. I was updating my wardrobe a lot. I've spent v little outside of vinted apart from a couple pairs of cheap jeans.

I also buy less than I used to but I think that's because I've finally figured out what works for me and what doesn't, so no longer make 'mistake' purchases.

Oh gosh, I’m also quite surprised at the low spends on here. I do spend quite a bit I guess, but often in the sales, and always pieces that will last and are classic. I love shoes, and I’m senior at work and need to be quite corporate. I mix it up though, ie some more expensive pieces with high street.

I haven’t bought actual clothes for a year and a half.

However, I’ve replaced all of my underwear and I need to replaced my pjs as they’ve all got holes in, embarrassingly…

I probably average £60 per month. This weekend I bought a French Connection dress £65 for DS's graduation in the sale at the outlet. Last month I bought a sports bra £30. In January I bought a merino jumper, again in a sale £30. I work but tend to wear jeans due to the environment and lack of heating!

Ohhh, you're so lucky!
I just don't care enough 😂 jeans and t shirt, just try to make sure it's sustainable etc. I have upgraded to one colour and jeans dark and light. Also same shoes until holes in them.

Often nothing at all! Maybe £10 in charity shops some months. New shoes or walking boots when needed (but I'd spend £70- £140 on these). A few quid on M&S knickers/bras when needed. I wear my clothes until they wear out. I actually don't like new clothes and if I buy something new, I'll leave it in the wardrobe for weeks or months before I wear it.

Almost nothing. Maybe £10 a month? If it's socks or some replacement jeans, or a 2nd hand top. I still wear a shirt that I bought in a charity shop when I was 15. I'm 40 now! If I get paint on my joggies I might find the same ones on vinted. But if I rip a hole in something it gets a nice patch. I wear good labels that seem to last well. And weird vintage stuff that I have kept for years. That said, I never buy into new trends. I think fashion and style are 2 different things and luckily for my bank balance I've no desire to be fashionable haha! My style might not be for everyone but I dont think I've the energy to worry about that 😬😄

For years I'd have said basically nothing.

In the last year I've been selling stuff on Vinted that no longer fits or I don't need, and replacing it with higher quality stuff (cashmere, linen etc), also purchased on Vinted. I only use money I've accrued from selling stuff so although I'm spending quite a lot more than before (maybe £50/mo) it doesn't feel like it.

I've never really cared much about clothes though so I don't see spending nothing on clothes as a virtue. It's not something I make any effort to achieve. Like a pp I don't follow fashion and still have stuff from when I was a teenager that I wear in my 40s.

I spend loads of money on holidays and the theatre though.

Honestly. About £250-300 per month.

I mainly buy from places like hush, cos, & other stories etc so that's 2 or 3 items per month.

I give a lot to charity and try to have a one in, two out policy
