This is an average amount of clothing.

[Pamnn82]

29 dresses, mostly summer but that also includes, 8 occasion dresses (parties, weddings, funerals)
11 pairs of jeans.
19 trousers, half summer, half autumn/winter.
68 tops.
17 jumpers.
21 cardigans.
18 shorts.
7 coats.
2 denim jackets.
5 gym sets.
9 trainers.
8 sandals.
6 boots.
8 swimsuits.
4 swim coverups.

See this is where I went wrong. I went to the cinema a couple of days ago. I had been to the beach with my DD and the sea bit me, so I had to change my jeans. Then I went to the laundry bag and realised my second pair of jeans had been folded damp so were a bit fousty. No third pair of jeans exists, so I wore a pair of leggings. If I'd have been @Pamnn82 I could have reached for pairs 3-11.

Ah, this is where I have a problem with fashion. Bog standard cropped jeans are a 'surprisingly fresh choice' every year, but Kinell only comes around every ten to twenty.

Do you never wear trousers of any kind?

I have around a third of those numbers and manage fine. My clothes actually get worn regularly. There are only a certain number of days in the year.

l have less than a quarter of that.

I have a lot more than that but only wear a few of them.

I’ve 27 work dresses, plus the rest 😂

Not t shirts or long sleeved tops?
Not sure if you are joking about not understand the meaning of 'tops' as the meaning is so obvious.

I don't have that much, but I do have a lot. I don't tend to throw things away though, and I still wear things I have owned for 30 plus years.
Older clothes are far better quality and a lot of things still look good I buy classic rather than fashionable.

This might be similar to me but I have more dresses and less separates. However, it is a lot. DH works in fashion so I blame it mostly on him 🤭
I do think that 7 coats is nowhere near enough though. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 🤣

I have this amount but more dresses (60+) and at least 120 pairs shoes, and more coats

Pah! Lightweight 😀

OMG Whatnot! I have pre owned bags arriving at my door on a far too regular basis since I discovered this!

I probably have more than this - I know I have a problem. I try to sell and give to charity but keep buying. My clothes fill several wardrobes throughout the house.

I have:

1 pair of jeans
3 pairs of joggers
2 pairs smart trousers

About 3 vest tops
About 8 t shirts
2 long sleeve tops
3 hoodies
2 jumpers

6 pairs of shoes (daily trainers, running trainers, hiking boots, vans, dress shoes and converse)
A coat.

My kids are about the same, as is OH, though he and the kids have less shoes (mine last years)

That made me actually LOL. I have about 10 (that fit me).

I'd like us to have more but we have nowhere to put anymore, we have a skinny hallway with no cupboards and no 'under the stairs' so we already trip over shoes constantly even though half of mine are in a cupboard upstairs!

Are we all supposed to pretend we have capsule wardrobes.

Some of us love shopping.

If this thread was in Style&Beauty, it would get very different reponses to people asking if clothes are 'ever worn out'. Like WHAT adult ever 'wears clothes out'???

I have a lot of clothes, probably not as many as you but quite a lot. I really am due for a clear out and I’m planning to get rid of some things. But I have many articles of clothing I love that I’ve owned for a decade or more and are still in good condition.

I would get so bored if I only had two tops and two pairs of trousers or whatever some of the minimalist posts on this thread have stated. Do those of you with tiny amounts of clothing wear the same outfit to work every day?

What do you want more than the clothes?

If it's money, literally transfer every penny you would have spent for 1 month and see it at the end for impact. Don't forget, most of it you can get on vinted. And often what (you think) you're buying is excitement. But often it's admin (like the 5 bin bags you threw out).

It really helped me to learn that everything I scratched the itch to buy someonthing, something else filled it's place. I could literally buy £1k of stuff I want tomorrow and after I've got it, I'll think of another £1k of stuff to buy. So in order to not spend the second £1k, I have yo not buy the first £1k iykwim.

I’m not counting. I have 7 thermal vests just for a start and probably 50 dresses

What fresh hell is this?🙄

Fuck! Best get my coat!!
is that a lot?
omg I give in now 😳

For balance, ds has very few clothes that aren't school uninform. He likes to wear a day time version of pjs all the time. He is the only kids i know who prefers to wear a uniform. He clearly hasn't inherited my style gene.

It’s a lot.
Why would you bother counting items? I’ve no idea how many items I own.
I separate my clothes, winter/summer, winter clothes go into the attic until October.
I have never counted but don’t buy a lot of clothing.
Some things are years old.
