How many clothes do we actually need?

[Britneybritneyspears]

I'm currently clearing out my wardrobe and am trying to have as few clothes as possible (I started with an enormous amount but have reduced it significantly). I currently have:
3 raincoats
2 winter coats
2 denim jackets (1 patterned)
5 pairs of trousers (incl jeans)
1 pair of dungarees
4 plain white t shirts
8 tops/ t shirts
4 cardigans
8 jumpers
6 dresses (2 smarter and 4 everyday ones)
I am still wanting to reduce down further (I need the space and it's been good to sell things for bit more money!) and was just wondering what I have too much of
Not sure if it's relevant but I'm a sahm so I don't have to dress for work. Would love to hear of anyone with much less and how they make it work.

I have lots of clothes, however, some I have had for 20 years and they are still in great condition.

30 trousers (jeans, smart, crops etc)
6 skirts
20 dresses (summer, winter, maxi, mini)
45 knitwear (jumpers, cardigans, fleeces, sweatshirts)
100 Tops (T shirts, blouses, summer tops, long sleeved, short sleeved , casual, going out etc)
Shoes 20 pairs (trainers, smart, casual)
Boots 10 pairs
Bags 10
Sportswear (lots)
Coats/jackets 10

I love most of what I have and can always find something to wear for every occasion

I have a small wardrobe based on minimalism and Project 333 principles.

I would say that your edit is great, except for 3 rain coats and an excess of trainers.

I have one denim jacket, one winter coat, and a rain coat. Footwear is two pairs of trainers, welly boots, flat form pumps and Ugg boots which I mainly use as slippers.

I have recently got rid of anything I just wore for work as I have recently retired. While I was at it I have whittled my occasion dresses down to two the ones that I wore to three weddings this year. I've also resisted the urge to replace them as some I have only worn once and one was still unworn. We're going on a cruise next year and I was going to get more but I've decided to take those two dresses and make do with the lovely clothes that I already have. I want clothes that I actually wear a lot in my wardrobe not just occasionally. It's nice to dress up but I find things are going more and more casual.

From reading this I have a er.. pretty edited wardrobe compared to most. I practically live in jeans but only have a few pairs in different colours. Quite a few tops. A few costs/jackets boots trainers and occasion shoes & clothes, It’s my own fault i’m not that into clothes as I don’t see the point most of the time due to feeling crap since weight gain.
