Amount of clothes

I’m currently going through my wardrobe, getting rid of things that don’t fit and trying to think about modernising my “look” a bit. I’m far from being a clothes horse but I would like to improve my wardrobe so it is vaguely in fashion (or not too far behind!)

Can you please tell me how many of each thing you have: eg, T-shirts, other shirts, trousers, skirts, sets of bra & knickers that match, dresses and shoes.

Thank you in advance 😀

I'll reply! I love this sort of thing (but think I'm in the minority)

In my wardrobe there is approximately:

Twelve tops and t-shirts
One pair of jeans (but I've just ordered a second pair)
Two pairs cotton trousers
Three skirts
One pair of boring work trousers (I work Monday to Friday in an office)
A pair of joggers
Dresses is where it gets a bit silly. I have too many, which is weird as I generally prefer trousers...I must have twenty odd dresses

There are other things in storage as well, but that is my working wardrobe if you will.

I don't have a lot of space so have to keep it fairly streamlined (although I'm far from being a minimalist)

Oh and knitwear! Forgot that:

Four wool sweaters
Three cardigans
Also coats and shoes but I won't go on!

Honestly there's no right answer.

I'd say don't have duplicates of the same type of thing so blue skinny jeans- 2 pairs, leggings, 3 pairs etc, 3x workout outfits,

Work out what you need and get rid of the rest.

Also work in outfits rather that separates. There'll be loads of tops and skirts that won't have a decent pairing so they can go too.

I have about 5 million T-shirts and not much else. Just want to see how everyone compares really xxxxx

JassyGoon · 16/04/2023 02:23

Too much to count 50+ skirts similar number of dresses. It's ridiculous but I like to have lots of choice.
