To think this is not abscene…but fairly normal?!

I have moved house and I finally have a walk in wardrobe. I’ve decided to hang everything except trousers. Friend said this was an obscene amount of clothing and laughed so much. I think it’s not that crazy 😅 what do you think obscene or normal? 🤣 this is just the top section, next section over is dresses and coats etc.

I like a stripy top, OP. I admire your collection 🫡

Maybe she did mean that, I do tend to stick to a style, I know it works for me so I just stick to it. I should try to branch out a bit more perhaps 🤔

Sorry I reread my post back and it looked a bit mean- I didn’t intend for it too! I was just wondering if her comment was meant in a different way. If you have a style that suits you and it works for you, it makes so much sense to stick with it- it all looks very chic, you are way more trendy than I am! I have a gazillion colours and styles, all very mismatched and not capsule like you!

I suppose it's better to have lots of what you like and wear rather than stuff you don't actually wear.

No offence taken at all, I know I’m boring style wise, I very much own that 🤣

This is delightful op. I would love to be this organised. Also I have Kondo'ed the shit out of them but the fact remains that I have about 30 tops sardined into a drawer.

I don't think it's an obscene amount. You never know when you might need to deliver some milk tray.

Pancakeorcrepe · 10/08/2025 20:00

It’s quite a lot of clothes yes but I wouldn’t say it is obscene

itsgettingweird · 10/08/2025 20:01

That’s clothes for all seasons. I can see y shirts, shirts and jumpers there. So no - not obscene.

I think it’s most likely that many people (including me) have T shirts and jumpers in a drawer so it doesn’t look so much as it’s not all hung together!

Skissors · 10/08/2025 20:01

Not obscene, no. All looks very neat.

I read an article on Susannah Considine (of Trinny and Susannah fame) and she said she has an entire large room, as her walk in wardrobe.

TeenToTwenties · 10/08/2025 20:01

Why so many almost identical tops though? The stripey ones look so similar, as do the black t shirts.

JLou08 · 10/08/2025 20:02

I wouldn't say it was an obscene amount. I used to have just as many tops before my last DC came along, then I had to give up space. I have to be pretty ruthless with throwing things away if I want something new, I miss having more choice on what to wear.

GoneGirl12345 · 10/08/2025 20:03

Your friend is BU. I probably have more than that but no where near as neatly organised!

Love it ! Hope other people are going to get that reference 😁

Nope I have probs triple that lol 😂

Cantfindafreeusername · 10/08/2025 20:09

Why do you care what people think or are you just showing off? Personally I hate this look as thinks it just looks messy as hell so sorry you haven’t made me jealous!!

BertieBotts · 10/08/2025 20:11

I think it is a lot of clothes, but no, not obscene. Obscene is like those people on Sort Your Life Out who have three wardrobes stuffed to bursting and an entire pile in the unusable spare room and their husband has a tiny hanging rail in one of the children's bedrooms to keep their own clothes on.

BrendaSmall · 10/08/2025 20:12

my husband done built in wardrobes in 2 of our bedrooms, when my daughters left home I took over both of them 🤣

LittleCarrot12 · 10/08/2025 20:12

Not obscene but seems a lot of the same .

AllyDally · 10/08/2025 20:14

I don't think its an obscene amount, I have that amount for a winter wardrobe then probably same amount for summer. I don't have space for any of it really!

Not trying to make anyone jealous at all.

Holy shit, that's 72 tops! That's absolutely loads.

7 black t-shirts, for heaven's sake. Why would you need an entire week's worth of black unless you're a) working a salon or b) a ninja.

Out of curiosity, what is (roughly) an appropriate amount of tops to own?

Katemax82 · 10/08/2025 20:16

Not obscene. I worked for a female couple who easily had 10 times that much between them

I'm jealous! I am waiting for the kids to move out so I can make one of the bedrooms into a walk in wardrobe!

BunnyLake · 10/08/2025 20:18

It’s really not that much to warrant being called obscene.

BippidyBoppety · 10/08/2025 20:18

She would be horrified by my wardrobe 🙈.

And the Winter stuff that's in suitcases ready for my late Autumn revolve (Summer stuff away, Winter stuff to wardrobes).
