What percentage of your wardrobe is spring/summer clothes compared to Autumn/Winter wear?

I love summer clothes, but with the last few years weather being so bad, I am wondering if it is worth actually buying anything much for spring/summer any more. I barely wore any of the new items bought last year, except for the odd nice day here and on holiday.

I have pretty much a 50/50 split between spring/summer and autumn/winter clothes, but am thinking that realistically it should be more 30/70 or even 20/80 (lower figure on spring/summer items) on the basis that reflects the weather and temperature in the UK, and have more items that are non-seasonal and can be layered to suit temperature/weather.

So what sort of percentage do you have in your wardrobe???? Do you buy new each year and do you keep certain items just to wear on holiday?

I probably have about 10% exclusively summer wear, about 50% that stays year round, and about 40% cool weather (which is more October-April than actual just winter) only.

I have been thinking the same. I always buy shedloads of new stuff every year and realistically I only need 2/3 summer day outfits Sad

It's cos summer clothes are so cheap I think - I see a nice vest top or broderie thing and think 'ooh I'll have that' whereas jeans, jumpers, dresses etc all take a bit more planning. Most of my summer stuff is crap impulse buys, actually.

My split is about 50/50 but as we barely get a summer, I don't think I will buy much anymore.

I think I will focus on dressing for spring and autumn.
