How many pieces of clothing do you have in your wardrobe?

[Jutta]

I was just reading "French wadrobe" thread and that inspired me to ask you, how many pieces of clothes you have in your wardrobe? Please, don't count your underwear, outdoor clothes or accessories - only real clothes!

Are you a wardrobe minimalist, capsule type or collector? Do you use all your clothes? Or just collect them?

I have about 75 seasonal pieces in my wardrobe, but I'm trying to manage with about 50 pieces. Now I'm using my whole garderobe, but still have some duplicates (even triples) in my basics. I purchase 2-3 new 'trendy items' for a season (I have four seasons in my fashion year) and update my staples randomly, when I really need something. Mostly I get rid of those trendy items in the end of season, but sometimes some pieces get some extension... But when some new ones come in, at least one (better two) old ones have to go out! That's my wardrobe philosophy! So, I'm going forward to minimalistic wardrobe with 50 pieces and that's my goal.

How about your wardrobes?

gosh..i dont even know where i should start counting..my clothes are everywhere
hum..but my guess is probably around 30 or 40..and i wear most of them..some more frequent than others..all depends on how i match them
i try to get rid of alot of my old clothes..they are in the basement

i would say my black evening jacket and blazer get worn the most

Oh my God...

Just for Spring/Summer. I have at least 100 tee shirts at the very least and I have 22 pairs of jeans.

I don't wanna count everything or else I'll seem like a spoiled brat... (which I guess I sometimes am.)

 

[tifa]

^ wow..that's pretty excessive. how do you get the wear out of it?

 

[Trista]

I know that I have around 80+ shirts alone, but figure a good 20-25 are tshirts that I wear when either working out, sleeping or painting. I would say altogether that I have between 125 and 150 pieces if I were to go through everything.

 

[xarly]

i'm a collector....i have lots of clothes....i love clothes.

 

[Dizzydi]

I've no idea how much clothes I have...gotta count them some day soon...

...but I would say that I have less than I want and more than I have room for

 

[kisa]

I have other clothes, that I don't actually wear, but of the clothes that I DO wear:

5 tops, 3 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of pants, (that were recently sort of ruined so I don't know if I can still wear them) 1 sweater, 1 sweatshirt, 1 dress, 2 pairs of shorts.

I have things like old ratty jeans and t-shirts I wear for painting or whatever, but I think this thread is about a person's "fashion" wardrobe so I didn't count them? My wardrobe is kind of small because I've been unemployed for the past year, trying to focus on school and travelling. At the same time I've discovered places like tfs so I'm bent on making my wardrobe up of things I really like, that I think will last awhile, usually = more expensive. A bit of a problem for me.

EDIT: Clothes I don't actually wear means they are either ruined or too big, I'm not just not counting them because I don't like them.

Omg I dread to think....I have over 25 pairs of jeans....a guess is something like 200 pieces of clothing...i'm not 100% sure though.

 

[Little Star]

Wow! I do just fine with only 3 pairs of jeans!
Black denim with white stitching, dark blue denim and a pale blue wash!

I don't really find it necessary to count how many items of clothing I have. Rather than restricitng your wardrobe by number, just refine it by tossing what you don't like/use. I would hate to senselessly give away perfectly good, loved clothes! 50 items is a bare minimum really in my opinion.

 

[Allius]

my wordrobe is really small, for some reason I have a habbit of buying "It looks good right now" clothes and I wind up throwing away most of my new clothes. I am getting better at it though

 

[Diorling]

I have a lot of f*cking clothes, but my actually circulation is really small. I have four pairs of jeans in circulation right now, like 15 shirts random jackets, coats, and other accessories.

 

[sakina]

^ same.

I have a considerable amount of clothes but only wear an embarassingly low percentage of everything. A lot of it has to do with the fact my weight fluctuates a lot and a lot of clothes don't currently fit me (both to small & to large) and I can't bear to get rid of them because I have thrown out old clothes that don't fit only to have weight gain/loss.

Hopefully, once I'm able to stabalize my size is stabalized I'll be able to clean everything out

 

[designerlizard]

Well considering I attempted to clean my closet out the other day, I counted roughly 300+ shirts (tshirts, polos, dressy tops..etc). Unfortunatly I barely wear any of them, I just feel bad getting rid of clothes so lots of this dates back about 3.5 years, possibly more (my school uniform is still in there and i graduated HS 2 years ago!!)

But pants wise I do get rid of quicker so I only have about 20 or so pairs.

 

[Kimkhuu]

just basic stuff.... not a lot.

 

[Dizzydi]

ok...I've looked through my wardrobe and this is roughly what I've got (and use

6 dresses
6 cardigans
6 boleros
2 waistcoats
2 ties
3 shirts
7 pair of jeans
5 blazers
4 suits
14 skirts
3 pair of shorts
3 turtlenecks
25 tops
1 corsage
3 sweathers
and any number of t'shirts

in addition I have
6 coats
5 pair of boots
6 pair of shoes
3 pair of gloves
and far too many scarfes

 

[mustard]

WOW!!! I want to do this too!!! Here goes..

13 dresses
11 cardigans
2 waistcoats
9 shirts
9 pair of jeans
4 blazers
21 skirts
5 pair of shorts
3 turtlenecks (im guessing that these are the same as polo-necks!?!?!)
37 tops
21 t-shirts


14 coats
9 pairs of boots
33 pairs of shoes
10+ scarves

I cant believe how many clothes i have...i really need to minimize!!!!

 

[shades of truth]

I have no idea! Too many things to count. Def more than I need. I do huge wardrobe cleanouts all the time (my friends love them!), but I still have heaps and heaps of clothes. I wish I could have a nuclear wardrobe, but I don't think it is ever going to happen!

 

[Whitelinen]

I'd need more clothes but I already have too much.

Hi!

I'm back here to tell you, that my summer garderobe is now ready. It has
27 tops (all sumer shirts, t-shirts, knits and tops included),
6 jackets,
4 dresses,
7 skirts,
9 trousers ( also shorts and capris included).
So, altogether 53 pieces, which is near enough to my goal, 50 pieces.

I'm waiting it's warm enough to use my summer clothes, although it can still take couple of months here..., but I'm ready!
