I have to first of all say that in the past two years most items I added to my wardrobe are bought second hand or donated by friends and family members.

Coats/jackets: 15
Sweaters: 7
T-shirts: 18
Shirts: 15
shorts: 8
Pants: 16
Scarfs: 6
Bags: 11
Pairs of shoes: 25

I wear most, 50% of my trousers, the t-shirts all my jumpers beside 1/2, 30% of my shoes and 40% of my jackets

Since 2018, I try not to buy new clothes. as I had collected a great number of very good quality cloths that will last me a long time. Buying second hand clothes it's an imperative now beside sportswear that needs to be practical and technical. Maybe in the past 2 years I bought around 10 items. And probably I donated around 15.

The most expensive item in my wardrobe it's around 1500£ at retail price, but I have the luck and talent of buying all my expensive clothes at very good bargain prices like 70-80% off this allowed me to have good quality clothes that last me a life time.

The item that has more emotional value is a t-shirt wish its so worn that I just keep it as a memory. It served me from my 16th birthday till I was 25 and its charged with many memories.

# data[].attributes.body
I currently own 103 pieces that include outwear, shirts, shoes, pants, dresses and sportswear. .

*underwear and pijamas are not included, they sum up to 21 separate pieces*

While doing the list and writing down everything that I own, when I bought it and other important characteristics I realised that my consuming habits have changed a lot in the past three, almost four years. Since early 2017 I decided to stop buying fast fashion items. The vintage and second hand items on my wardrobe became A LOT.

I also decided to build a wardrobe out of essentials first and then opening up to pieces that are a little bit more fun and flashy (not trendy). I stacked up on my favourite ones like leather jackets, blazers and white t's WHICH MADE ME REALISE TODAY THAT I HAVE A LOT OF ITEMS THAT LOOK LIKE EACH OTHER, that's why I feel most of the times that I have nothing to wear.

The last pieces of fast fashion I bought was in 2018, so I'm really happy that it's been at least two full years of only buying sustainable, ethically made and/or vintage/second hand. This way of consuming has made me a lot more careful about my clothes, the way I wear, wash and store them. I love every piece of clothing that I own. Of course I would love to have a bigger and fuller closet, but up to this point I can say that I love and constantly wear almost everything constantly (except for two jeans that don't fit me :( ).

The two most expensive pieces that I bought are 1. a vintage calf leather blazer  and 2. a baby alpaca white cardigan.

I recently lost the piece I was more attached to and im so sad because it was a beautiful 1940's checkered brown blazer with shoulder pats and slim waist. It was a hand me down from my great granny to my aunt, to me.

I am more conscious now about what I buy and more importantly WHY. What purpose is this piece going to fill in my life? DO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT? WILL I WEAR IT IN FIVE YEARS?
I also have become more creative when a piece rips or is damaged. THAT'S NOT THE END OF IT. I've changed jumpers to rompers, dresses to shirts and jeans to shorts. The last thing I threw away were 2 pairs of shoes that ripped off by overusing it.

# data[].attributes.body
My total clothing count is 204 pieces, inclusive of tees, tops, dresses, pants, jackets, coats, etc.

This doesn't include 28 shoes, which is made up of sandals, sneakers and heels.

My buying habits over the years have definitely changed as my mindset has changed to be more in line with sustainability and what that responsibility is, not only from a clothing brand point of view, but also from a consumers responsibility stand point as well.

When I was younger I was more cost-conscious than ethically-conscious. At that point I could only buy what I could afford, and in most—if not all—cases, sustainability only came into mind post-purchase. For example, though my $20 Sportgirl pants were bought for convenience and price-point efficacy, I kept those pants for 9 years and only removed them from my wardrobe when they unfortunately no longer fit.

I take stock of my wardrobe at least once a year, re-evaluating what is necessary to keep and what I can move on to a new home. Admittedly, I can be a hoarder when it comes to my wardrobe. I know what I like, and these things don't always come out on a regular basis, so I try to hold onto them for as long as possible. I've also sourced at least a third of my wardrobe from thrift stores and another third I have made myself, with the remaining bought, generally on sale, from various retail stores. With so many items that are one-offs in my wardrobe, this also fuels the desire to keep them longer than maybe most.

My buying habits are based around mindful, long-term pieces that I know will fit in with my current wardrobe and can transcend the 'trends' of any particular season. For this reason a lot of my wardrobe is made up of classic shapes, colours and stripes. I only have a handful of pieces that may be considered more of a trend item, yet even these I have recycled through different seasons.

My habits when it comes to re-homing pieces always start with offering the selection to my mum and sister, before considering sending to a thrift store. I've also been known to store clothing/shoes for months in wait for a clothes swap opportunity. I always try to re-home myself before considering a thrift store. That way I know for sure the pieces will be re-worn and the life of the piece live on, even if it's not in my wardrobe.

As time goes on, I find I buy less and less each year. As I retain a pretty consistent wardrobe year in year out, there's little I need to buy unless it's items I need that I don't already have (like a black coat for example). Occasionally I'll need an outfit for a special event—wedding, 30th birthday, etc—and I only buy a new item for this reason after I've checked my wardrobe, my sister's wardrobe, rental dress sites to no avail. Even then, I still buy with longevity and quality in mind—whether from a retail store, or thrift store.

Ultimately, the more I learn, the better I become at incorporating sustainability in my wardrobe.

# data[].attributes.body
My 4 season wardrobe comprises around 250 items (excluding accessories, underwear and sportswear) between drawers and closet. I never throw clothes away; when there is something I do not wear but that I think could be suitable for my mum (we wear the same size), I give it to her. Usually very ruined sweaters or tees are converted into household cleaning cloths or blankets for the family cat, for example. I mostly wear black, as it is easy and quick. Thinking about consumption habits, I used to buy more (and from fast- fashion) 5 to 9 years ago, while currently add only a few pieces to the wardrobe each year, favouring quality (and relevance: for example something bought during a trip) over quantity.

# data[].attributes.body
I wear the most my dresses and my shirts. Most of my wardrobe is second-hand, I switch clothes with friends and family regularly, 1-2 times a year, or shop in vintage markets.  Between the age of 14-25 I bought a lot of clothes, as I like fashion and also I moved around for studies and work so I had different wardrobes. I have been reducing my wardrobe from then on. Now I’m 32 and more or less I have 10-15 items that I add-remove in a year.

The most expensive item in my wardrobe is a silk dress from Thailand, it was around 50 euros and my Veja shoes that were 120 euros. I have a printed silk shirt that I made during my studies at the art academy, that’s the item that means the most for me, it remembers me how happy I was to study fashion and to be able to create beautiful clothing.

Firstly, I have to admit that this is my current closet, but I have  more things saved at my parents house. :-S In my defense, usually I recycle clothes, given away to other people or stores and selling and buying in second hand stores or sustainable products mostly. Lets go:

Coats/jackets: 11
Sweaters: 13
T-shirts: 27
Shirts/shorts: 11
Pants: 22
Skirts: 10
Dresses: 7
Scarfs: 4
Bags: 10 (4 of them cotton tote bags).
Pjs: 6
Pairs of shoes: 16

The items I wear most, definitively I would say the cotton tote bags almost everyday, a black high waist pants and a camel coat.

Since the beginning of 2019, I try to buy consciously. Buying second hand clothes or ethically made clothes/products. So maybe in the past year I bought 50-70 items, some of them as a substitute of old ones. And probably I removed around 20.

I don't really think that I have an expensive item in my wardrobe right know, because the most valuable ones I bought it in second hand stores, cheaper than the full price. But If I have to choose one, I would say a leather white boots for 80€.

The item that has more emotional value, it would be a colorful dress that describes me most, that a friends of mine gave me in my last birthday.

My Wardrobe in London, UK & Sydney, Australia

My Wardrobe in London, UK & Sydney, Australia

# data[].attributes.body
I've recently temporarily relocated to London so I also have alot of things in my wardrobe suitable for Australia but not worn here, and have definitely had to add warmer pieces to my wardrobe since living here! I have not counted undies, bra's, socks, stockings, scarfs.

Dresses/Jumpsuits: 63
Tops: 77
Shorts: 22
Skirts: 5
Jackets: 18
Jumpers/Cardi's: 25
Coats: 4
Pants: 49
Swimwear (pieces, not sets): 37

What I wear the most changes alot depending on if I am in London or Sydney and the season.
I also sold ALOT of clothes when I recently moved from Sydney to London (guessing around 80-100 pieces). But there are definitely lots of clothes that get lots of use and lots that get barely any use.
I have removed alot over the past year but also added alot, due to relocating. But I dont add as much usually into my wardrobe as I did 5-10 years ago!!!
I work in fashion so I get alot of free samples 5-10 years ago, then the last  5 years, lots of discounts but no freebies.
Freebies and discounts definitely makes it harder to not add to my wardobe! In the past 2 years I have also started shopping second hand alot more.
So many of my clothes hold emotional value and all for different reasons, fave pieces, worn to a memorable events etc.
The most expensive 2 x things in my wardobe are both worth $600 RRP but I got 1 for free and 1 less than half price: my tigerlily leather jacket and my zimmermann playsuit - both of which I absolutely love!
I have 1 x chest of drawers, and 2 x large wardobes of hanging space! and its full.
I have more than enough and this exercise has made me think I really need to do a spring clean! And not buy anything more unless I really, really, really need it and will wear it alot!

I have approximately 110 garments excluding scarves, underwear and pyjamas. I have just discarded 18 of them just while counting them. I should discard even more after having read "The life changing magic of tidying" by Marie Kondo, but I feel like it is really hard, especially when working in fashion. Sometimes garments sit for a while in my wardrobe and a happy day I just feel like pairing them with something and they become my new favourite garment.

At the moment I love a oversized white chunky jumper that can be paired with anything and that I love to wear with a belt. It's warm, look good and comfortable. I also like my purple legging which is original and sets me in a 'can do'/sport mindset.

The most expensive item is probably a Giorgio Armani jacket that my aunt gave to me. The one I bought myself I thing is a £250 Suncoo coat. I buy only second hand now so I usually don't spend too much on clothes.

I think I have about 20 new clothes each year.

The items holding the most emotional value are the ones I made myself, it would be very hard to get rid of them even if I don't wear them...

# data[].attributes.body
My current wardrobe includes:

4 pairs of jeans

2 pairs of trousers

6 skirts

2 shirts

2 t-shirts

7 blouses

10 knitted tops/sweaters

4 dresses

4 cardigans

4 jackets

2 coats

The items I wear the most are jeans and knitted jumpers.
I try to shop stuff only when I really need them, for example when something rips/breaks and I can not mend it, then I would go and replace the item. Occasionally, however, I would purchase something out desire, not necessity. Most of the items in my wardrobe are around 3+ years old, but there are at least 5 things that I bought this year because I replaced old garments that didn’t fi

t anymore or were too damaged. The most expensive item I have is a cocktail dress that so far, I have worn only one time but hope to wear it more often in the future. Regardless of this, I perceive this certain dress more like an investment and since it is good quality, I believe it can last for many years. My most valuable garment is a knitted sweater that my grandmother made for me.

My Wardrobe: I currently have about 150 items of clothing in my closet and drawers, not including accessories, undergarments, pajamas and shoes. The items I wear most are black and casual/business casual. In the past year I added fewer than 10 items, and have removed about 30. My purchases have been increasingly thoughtful in recent years. I choose items that I will wear over a longer period of time, and that come from companies with transparent processes and more sustainable products. Or I shop second-hand and vintage. The most expensive items in my wardrobe also hold the most emotional value. I have several beautiful wool coats and capes that I inherited from my mother-in-law.

I share the wardrobe with my boyfriend, bottom party is mine, but have more stuff in chest of drawers and other closets.
I stopped buying too many things in the last couple of years.
The pieces I wear the most are jeans and trousers and jumpers and trainers. I don't think I have bough more than 3 new pieces a year in the last 3 years.
The most expensive item is a winter puffer jacket I invested in probably 5+ years ago and still wearing it. The item with the most emotional value is probably the dress I bought myself for my 30th bday, 6 years ago and some funny socks my friends gave me.

I have about 250 pieces except lingerie and socks:

dresses: 35
pants/trousers: 25
skirts: 23
shirts: 35
sweaters : 55
coats/jackets : 15
shoes: 50
bags:6

In general I used to buy more items and at a cheaper price, now I tent to spend more but buying more quality items. I think I add around 6 items per year, but I don't remove many things.

I also in general prefer going to vintage markets and buy vintage pieces instead of going to regular shops.

Several vintage pieces are from my mum and grandma and those are the items on which I am particularly attached as a green long Max Mara coat (probably it is the most expensive item I currently have in my wardrobe).

I received plenty shoes from my job as I am a shoes designer.

It is difficult to identify items I wear the most...I really have different periods and I sometime rediscover old pieces and I like to find a new way to wear them..That's probably why I don't remove many things from my wardrobe..

Current wardrobe, this does not include storage:

tops: 10
t-shirts: 15

underwear: 30

As I get a lot of free accessory samples like bags and soft accessories from work, I swop these quite often, or give them away to friends and family. I bought shoes pretty often before, but now I stopped and buy them more expensive if I do.

My most expensive purchase is a pair of Ann Demeulemeester boots that were around €700. I do wear them almost daily, they are very comfortable and I can see me wearing them for years and years to come.

I buy about 10 pieces of clothing a year, and about  5 pairs of shoes.

My wardrobe is full of rather basic items, with a few statement pieces, I like to be bolder with accessories than with my clothing. About 75% is black, 10% grey, 3% navy, 4% white 6% other colors and 2% metallic.

Production countries:
China, Lithuania, Turkey, Vietnam, Netherlands, Cambodja, Belgium, India, Italy,  Indonesia, Bangladesh, Germany, Japan, France, Rwanda.

Looking at my wardrobe I see that the clothing with most emotional value are given to me by friends or family, like a vintage comme des garçons dress I got from my boyfriend. My jewelry has more emotional value to me than my clothes.

It is about 150 clothes, plus 10 scarves/capes/coats.

I bought most things 2016 for my new job in London when I moved. I keep a lot of old clothes even from my childhood and also from my mum.

My mum's pieces are the most expensive/ most worn and most valuable ones for me.

Mainly there are tops and dresses :)

If I buy new now, I buy second hand and vintage or treat myself to a sustainable expensive new item.

# data[].attributes.body
I own +250 clothes.

This is the cardigans/jackets space of my closet, I own a lot of clothes but that’s mainly because I never throw or get rid of any, most of my clothes right now used to belong to family members so they’re special to me.

Most of my clothes are years old, I don’t actually buy many clothes anymore, but I add more clothes to my wardrobe because I get a lot that used to belong to my mom and aunts but don’t fit them anymore.

My last purchase was a month ago, I got a dress at a small local shop, I have bought clothes like two times this year.

I used to buy a lot of clothes from stores like Forever 21, Zara, Stradivarius and H&M between 2010-2016 then I quitted fast fashion and started getting my family’s clothes, making clothes and buying second hand.

- Which items do you wear the most?

I wear dresses and cardigans the most

-How many items per year do you add and remove?

I add around 15 items per year and remove 6.

- What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

The most expensive item I own is a pair of Dr Martens boots that I got six years ago, when I was 17.

- Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

Jeans and jackets that used to be worn by my mom when she was my age in the 80’s, blouses that my mom got me when she visited India, my pair of Dr Martens because I've lived the most amazing days of my life wearing them, and artisan items that I’ve got at trips around Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico.

Wardrobe location: London
Total number of garments: around 135.
of which...

over 45 are T-shirts,blouses,tops

19 are jackets and coats

8 are dresses

7 are skirts

4 are dungarees

16 are jeans,trousers,shorts

21 are jersey,jumper,sweater

2 are scarfs

5 are hats.

My last purchase was a month ago. I bought a kind of suede jacket in a charity. My last acquisition before this one was in August, 3 graments.

I moved to London 2 years ago (I am from Spain, where also I have more clothes in my wardrobe... around 50 items).
I stopped buying constantly clothes 8 months ago. I saw myself in a endless cycle of consumerism and I started feeling this consumerist behaviour could trigger an imbalance in my mental health, because of the feeling of neccesity of purchasing new clothes every single week. I was feeling so empty, so I decided stop it suddenly. Also I decided to buy my garments just in second-hand shops and charities. No more big fashion brand companies where spend my money and my time.
Boycott to fast-fashion.
I used to buy a lot in H&M, Zara, Mango and Bershka. Also vintage shops(charities, 2nd hand) and clothes from family and friends (the last purchases are mostly from friends and charities). I removed some of my clothes 1 year ago and I gave them to some of my friends. But I usually add more than remove. It is really difficult to me get rid of my clothes, I always add an extra emotional value to them. I can´t say which item holds the most emotional value, mostly of them take me back to good memories and remind me to people and places I love (emotional value).
I think my most expensive item is a coat from Zara.
The items I wear the most I think are my T-shirts and blouses, as well as my jumpers and sweaters. This is because is the part I enjoy the most to combine. And , of course, trousers, but just 5/16.
I have clothes since 2014 onwards. The year I purchased the most was in 2017, few months after to move to London and start to earn money.
Now I still doing the "do-not-buy-nothing-from-big-fashion-brands" thing and I feel better with myself.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past 10 years I have changed quite a few countries so, I was always in process of sorting out my clothes. I have never had a huge wardrobe as I am very selective about the clothes I buy ( even from the high street brands) and I am a natural minimalist, so this helps to not have more than required and
have responsible consuming habits. I do occasional shopping mistakes but they are quite rare. And still even though my wardrobe is relatively small I have a few favourites basics that I can style nicely with accessories (mostly scarves for me) to complete the look and feel stylish. Trends awareness is present but followed with caution, I am conservative in my choices but don't like to look like everyone else.

I did a recent clean up and presently have about 72 pieces including shoes (underwear is not counted).
The biggest mistakes I made is with shoes, I counted 14 pairs and I don't wear even 1/3 of it. Lesson learnt.

I buy approximately 2 - 3 pieces per season. I discarded more clothes this year through recycling. I feel guilty about not making efforts with charity shops and will try not to be lazy about it in the future. While living in France as a student I bought more clothes so years 2004 - 2009 where more active. Since 2010 I started buying less as I moved a lot. For the past 2 - 3 years I started almost hating shopping as the high street quality deteriorated even more and cheapness disgusted me so I learn to wait and invest in better pieces.

I wear the most - classic  tailored blazer combined with t- shirts and black skinny jeans and scarves. My
dominating colour is black with occasional white, green and blue.

My most expensive items are my only designer bag - Max Mara (about £700) which I bought in 2015 and use it everyday. And a more recent purchase of a trench coat for £300.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one half of my wardrobe, which I reduced whenever I moved and donated the items to a charity, friends. Still, I own a lot of things and it makes me realise there is no need for extra shopping. I own about 300 items, mix of everything and separate closet for winter/summer season. The items range from 10 years old to more recent one.
What I wear the most: sneakers, jeans and Tshirts/Shirts/Jackets
Most expensive items: My Bottega Veneta bags

The most emotional connection: My Graduation gown, Stella McCartney Jeans

I think I thought my wardrobe was more modest than it is.
Below ex. winter woolies in storage, things in the wash, underwear, swim, holiday stuff, accessories.

4 Jackets  (2013-)
13 Dresses/jumpsuits (2006-)
13 Trousers (2013-)
16 Tops
13 T-S
8 Skirts/shorts
8 Shoes
Total 75 items. Estimate nearly have same again counting bits above (ex underwear)

Prob sell/give to charity as much each year as I buy (30 items). However since I have gone on mat leave/finished work I am buying considerable less. Trying to be more eco minded, less pressure to be updating wardrobe & don't have the £ to be indulging as much!

Fav items are def highest quality items. Leather jacket, mac. Dresses are items I have held on to longest.

# data[].attributes.body
*****Total garments:
I have counted 208 items, however, these are part of my "good weather" range. So I´m not counting the Winter clothes which have always been the biggest percentage of my total wardrobe as I have always live in places where good weather were just a few months per year.

Also, I´d say that in Spain, at my parents house, I have at least 3 times the amount of clothes I have here in London. The reason to still keeping the ones in Spain is that I still like most of them, but I don´t have enough space here to keep them all together, so I try to rotate my wardrobe every time I travel to Spain.
Everything is in good condition and I´ve been buying timeless pieces for many years so most of the things are still wearable and every time I go through the clothes kept at my parents feels like some sort of shopping. There are things I haven´t seen for months so it feels like reviving old goodies! :)

*****Garments worn regularly:
I have been wearing regularly 67 garments out of the 208 these last months.

*****Items added/removed per year:
Nowadays around 20 to 25 pieces are added to my wardrobe every year.
Removed will be more, I have been removing around 40 pieces per year the last couple of years, donating most of them to charities, giving some to my closest people and selling a few.
But 3 years ago I did a deep wardrobe detox giving to a charity around 250-300 garments. Clothes ranging from new to probably 15years old, all still fit me and in perfect condition but clothes I wasn´t really feeling any more.
I had always felt a strong attachment to my clothes, for many years, and I have been trying to get rid of that feeling a little bit more every year.

*****Most expensive garment:
The most expensive items I own will be a pair of Balenciaga sandals and a Dries Van Noten jacket, but I hadn´t paid full price for them. The most expensive garment that I paid full price for will be a pair of Acne boots.

*****The items which hold the most emotional value (which I actually feel like my treasures):
A tricot jacket made by my grandmother with her initials also knitted by her, a vintage Dior clutch which was also hers, some cotton pouches and bags sewed by her, a vintage sweatshirt of my dad and 2 vintage jackets that I bought second hand they are super comfy and they blend perfectly with all my clothes.

1 more expensive t shirt
2 mid-range priced hoodies
1 expensive sweatshirt
2 cheap mesh tops
1 pair of expensive leggins
1 more expensive long sleeve
2 cheap pairs of jeans
and 2 backpacks
I wear a decent handful of these items but nowhere near all of them and they're quite varied in style and price, some costing several hundred and a lot costing less than 2 pounds. I only add things when I see things I like, I don't particularly try to have a certain quantity or diversity of items. The item that holds the most amount of emotional value to me is an astronaut print Raf Simons hoodie. I love how much graphics can engage with people's imaginations and act as art and I don't think it's done nearly enough as it could be in fashion!

I have 107 items in my wardrobe (not all shown in the picture). I moved to London from New Zealand about three years ago, so this does feel like quite a lot to have accumulated in that time.
Since living in London my items added is roughly the same as items removed - I'm trying to keep my stuff here to a minimum and have become much better at swapping items with friends rather than always buying new.
The most expensive items are my coats, both which have quite a high wool percentage.
The items I'm most emotionally attached to are the ones I feel my best in or that I've bought while travelling.
The items I wear most often turns out to be jeans, sneakers, t-shirts and jumpers.

Dresses 17 (2009 – 2018)

Tops 32     (2010 -2018)

Trousers/Jeans 22 (1989-2018)

Skirts 5 (2004-2017)

Jackets 11 (1987-2018)

Coats 6 (2007-2017)

Knits 11 (2007-2017)

Total 114 ....It seems I have quite a lot of clothes – and I haven’t counted my nightwear/swimwear or other items waiting to be altered or remade. I work in the industry so probably have a different relationship with clothes than I would purely as a consumer and I am in my 60s so I have some history! The items I wear the most - everyday- are probably tops/ trousers or dresses. If I find something I really like & know that I will wear it to death – clothes or shoes – I will often buy or them in more colours if available or make more myself.

I keep everything that I love and wear regularly -literally until they fall apart and can’t be mended - but pass on the mistakes or things that I tire of to friends or charity shops on a regular basis. Hard to put a number to it – buy about 12 and donate about the same or hopefully more?

The item of most value in my wardrobe is probably a John Galliano Black wool jacket from the AW1986 Rose Collection.

I bought it second hand but in perfect condition in 1987 for £150. Back then, I wore it constantly and yet it looks as new today as the day I bought it. I still treasure it as an object of beauty!  I also have an asymmetrical culotte skirt from the same collection. But because I really don’t wear them anymore, I may sell these items soon.

In the past, but to a less degree more recently, I made a lot of my clothes and have rarely spent over £200-£300 on any one item. I have a rule that I try to keep to which is only to buy something that I could not make myself.

I only currently own 1 item made entirely of polyester as I don’t like the feel next to my skin and avoid it. My clothes are made of cotton, wool, viscose, modal or silk, and some added elastane.

I love quite a lot of my clothes and try to take really good care of them. Probably the one item I treasure above all else is a late 1930s housecoat in a beautiful printed viscose crepe which belonged to my Grandmother. And all my shoes, of course.
This is my main wardrobe...

I have approximately 100 pieces in my "British"  closet, below just one pic of it (underwear, nightwear and swimwear are not included). As I am from Italy I have another closet much bigger and definitely with a lot of stuff considering that in my early twenties I used to buy more often. Since I moved to London I buy clothes to exercise, to survive to low temperatures and for few special occasions.

Total number of garments: 73 (these garments are autumn-winter, I separate my wardrobe by season to better conserve the garments and optimize the space.) Underwear and nightwear are not included).
• Before 2009: 9 garments
• From 2009 to 2012: 15 garments
• From 2012 to 2015: 12 garments
• From 2015 to 2017: 29 garments
• During 2018: 8 items
The garments I use most are jeans and pants with sweaters, (the wool sweaters are almost all woven by me, I'm a fan of the craft knit) that represent approximately 20 items. On average, I add about 10 or 15 articles per year, almost always replacing some disused article.
The most expensive items in my wardrobe are two leather jackets, one in black and one in natural, which I have kept since 2009 and 2013 respectively.
The item that has the greatest emotional value is an alpaca and merino sweater, I keep it since 2014, it has emotional value because my mother gives it to me, and it is hand woven by her.

I have approximately 150 pieces in my closet, which sound and is a lot. However, as I live in Finland, we have four very different seasons and rough temperature changes throughout the year, and therefore I need to have seasonal clothing for work, free time and hobbies (outdoor sports). The clothes that I use the most are work dresses and sports wear. I definitely could have less clothes, but still I would say that I have the most minimalistic wardrobe from all the people I know. And in addition I am happy that at least I have bought most of my clothes from 2nd hand boutiques and flea markets, and wore each of them several years. For years I have bought only clothes that are made of  materials like cotton, silk and modal, some viscose clothes I do have as well, but very few. I have never bought fast fashion.

I don't go shopping a lot, once in awhile I buy clothes from friends or from facebook 2nd hand groups, but very rarely. More often I sell clothes in FB 2nd hand groups or take broken ones to fibre recycling center.

Couple of my work dresses have the biggest emotional value, and only because they are so practical: they are great quality that last forever, they do not need ironing in business trips and are comfortable to wear.

The number of pieces of clothing in my wardrobe is around 50, but I often wear only 15 of them. Only a couple of those garments hold an emotional value because they’re vintage pieces or gifts from dear people. The most expensive item in my closet is a pair of jeans that cost 85$. I quit shopping around a year ago and have donated or recycled some of the clothes I don't wear. Now I shop only when necessary and I wear the pieces I buy for a long time.

well, i need to tell that i'm 51 and about 30 in fashion business...I never liked cheap clothes, but never could get luxury pieces, some bags or glasses.
I have more than 300 pieces!!
Mostly with more than 10 years ago, good labels from Brasil.
Since I've been interested for sustainable process I only buy from conscious label or small labels. Maybe I bought something about 2/3 pices from month, but every time I buy a new piece, I give one. Since last year to now, i have been giving a lot of clothes, little by little understanding that I don't need that much.

# data[].attributes.body
I do have a lot of clothes of different kinds. To sum up them all, I have a set of about 30 upper wear and 10 bottom wears.
About 80% of them are 2yrs old while the other 15% 1 yr old and 5% of them bought this yr.
The more I have been studying this course, the more discouraged I feel to buy any more clothing.

Owing to the fact I am 19 and have only recently stopped growing out of clothes as well as recently losing weight my wardrobe ethnology possibly isn’t the norm. I have just over 60 items of clothing in my wardrobe the majority bought in the past 3 years due to the fact I’ve grown out of old clothes and started earning my own money. The items I wear most vary depending on time of year in the winter I wear a vintage coat most often while in summer I wear my 2 jumpsuits most. I add approximately 1 item every 2 months and rarely remove but when I do I remove giant sections. My most expensive item of clothing is a navy duster jacket however I do have a more expensive pair of trainers. The item which hold the most emotional value for me is my vintage coat because as well as loving it I know it’s a one off and special.

I have noticed that the more I learned about fashion, and the better items I could afford, the less I purchased.

I arrived to Paris from Bulgaria in 2001, educated to be frugal and only buy items which could be worn and last for years.

Yes, I too went through a brief fast-fashion Zara and H&M clothes phase, because of the diversity of items offered and of the accessible price but they never made me happy, and when I look through my wardrobe now – most of those have been given away to friends.

I pride myself on buying very few items and on finding classical, whimsical, and beautiful garments, which can be combined and worn together, giving me a large number of opportunities to reinvent my style.

The most expensive item is an Alexander McQueen dress bought off of Ebay, and is the original creation of the late designer. Other prized possessions are second-hand or never-worn sample finds by Erdem (I love the three dresses I have off his) and an Oscar de la Renta gown.

Not all

All items I buy have an emotional value, either because I have great admiration for the designer or because the garment’s quality – material, cut and construction are high-quality and will last for a long while.

(The outfit is completely handmade baby a seamstress friend using cut-offs of Kenzo silk fabric #upcycle)

This is my closet. There are more than 100 items in it. Most of the were bought in the years between 2009 and 2013, when I spent most of my time at the university, in the big city, closer to high street brand flagship stores. But a good part of them was also made by me....and to all these pieces I am really emotionally attached. this makes them difficult to throw away but easy to be reused in new creative ways when they're too old. Most expensive item is a Marella ceremony dress bought for my best friend marriage. Definitely wonderful, but too elegant for me...I don't think I will have other occasions to wear it -.-'
Most used items are a floral dress by Cristina Gavioli and a pair of black leggings by People Tree Uk. Both perfect for the office, free time and travelling.

I recently cleaned up my closet. The result was over 9 big bags of garments and shoes. I gave them away and brought them to the Salvation Army. These bags were filled with most fast fashion often bought for any reason but the right one. The most stylish, beautiful and timeless items are still in my closet and I really love them. Most expensive are some of my shoes, bags, leather jackets and a coat. The strange thing is that spending sometimes houndreds of euro's for a garment I really love and underlines my style and personality, feels more okay than spending the same amount of money on dozens of pieces of fast fashion. So I became more aware and it changes my buying behaviour.

# data[].attributes.body
I have about 150 items of clothing (+ underwear and other accessories) and around 20 pair of shoes. This past 6 months of 2018 I already bought 25 items of clothing and 2 pair of shoes, being most of them bought from thrift stores, samples giveaway from the company I work in and some pieces my friends didn't want anymore. I only bought around 5 brand new items. The rest of the years were around 10 to 20 pieces per year, but most of them being from thrift stores (the years I lived in the UK were the ones i shopped the most). I don't have the habit of donating clothes yearly (i still have things from 10 years ago), but if I do, i might give away 5 items max.

The items i wear the most are by far my Diesel denim jacket, a pair of high waisted black jeans and my pair of Converse All Stars.
The most expensive item in my wardrobe might be a leather jacket from Zara that i payed £50 (in Reais is around R$250).

I'm really attached to all of my clothes because I only buy them when I really feel like I NEED the item and love it a lot. Also because I love shopping at thrift stores and finding some rare bargains, which I hold a lot of feelings towards (because of the unknown past and making so much sense in the actual context).

Here's a photo of my wardrobe that keeps way more than just clothing..

# data[].attributes.body
My wardrobe I think is over 250 items – I have a lot of garments and a very wide selection.

I can’t add a picture to this as I’m now in the process of moving from Marseille to London.

I do not buy a lot of items from fast fashion and like to select pieces that are timeless or unique.

I usually wear t-shirts or shirts with mainly jeans or chinos and jackets which are key pieces in my wardrobe (quite a few jackets I have come from second hand vintage shopping).

I had about 10 items to my wardrobe every year, I tend to keep most of my clothes. But I do give away to family (my brothers mainly).

Otherwise I used to give to charities, however since a year ago I try and sell onto Vinted.com any item of clothing that I do not see myself wearing again.

The most expensive item I own is a Martin Margiela winter coat in 100% wool for a value of €1500.

I do not have an item of clothing that I value more than another – to me I can associated a memory to most of them whether it’s a shopping experience, where in the world I have purchased or found it, to the person who gave it to me as a present.

Wow, well I am truly shocked, I knew I was a hoarder, though I am getting better at donating or selling clothing I no longer wear, but I have a ridiculous number of items of clothing. My excuse, I used to keep items I had designed but now it's because I am a bit tight and don't like to reinvent my wardrobe all the time, I've bought quite a bit in the last 3-4 years because I have changed shape massively having 2 pregnancies and not fitting into my old clothes for ages afterwards, yet always remaining optimistic that it'll happen one day.
So, not including cycling and running kit or work uniform items I currently have roughly 250 items of clothing and shoes. I have waay more vests and t shirts than I actually ever wear, but alot have moth holes, plus I have a different style from summer to winter. For the past 3-4 years I have probably bought approx 30 items per year maximum, but 50% of this is secondhand. I also have a high proportion of my wardrobe that is older than 8 years old, roughly 45%. I would say I remove about the same number that I introduce.
In the past year to 18months my purchases have been much more considered and from more sustainable and local brands.
In the summer I wear more jersey and floaty dresses, while in the winter I wear more knitwear, dungarees and jumpsuits.
The most expensive items in my wardrobe are my wedding dress, my Phaedra clothing jumpsuit (handmade in Cornwall), my Conker boots which I've had for 8 years and I wear all winter (still on original soles, though these are replaceable!)
The items with most emotional value are my wedding dress (though it's hard to  wear that just round to the corner shop!) and probably my Conker boots. Plus I have a dress that was my Nanna's that I wear every so often, though it's more of a keepsake. My linen jumpsuit also in a way because it's something I wanted to buy for a long time, but I waited and waited, then my husband said 'well if you like it so much why don't you buy it then'? This sounds like he's being an idiot but honestly, I just don't normally spend much because I feel bad that he's the main earner when I always was, it makes me question a bit more if I really need something!
Oh, and I also have a guppyfriend laundry bag so I'm not washing as many microfibres out to sea!
Here's my untidy wardrobe that I share with my one year old!

In my wardrobe there isn't an item I love to wear the most, I love to wear them all! I don't buy very often new clothes, I prefer investing in higher quality items and purchase them once a year, than buying from fast fashion every week. This is the reason why I've owned each item in my wardrobe for at least a year. Since their quality is better, they last more. The item that has the biggest emotional value to me is a dressed sewed by my grandmother.

I have been moving around quite a lot and about 10 months ago I moved to another country/ continent. These are the 90 items I got with me at the moment (including shoes, bags, swimwear, sportswear and pjs) and they are not including the jewellery I got here and the other wardrobes I have left in Italy and some in Uk. Living in Qatar means I don’t have many wintery items here and just the really light outerwear. About 50 items are from 2018 and 2017, mostly because I work in retail and I have to use “uniforms” reflecting the seasons. Working so many hours a week as I do these are also the items I am using the most. Since I started working in retail I am adding about 30 items a year or more and remove about the same.
The most expensive item in my wardrobe is definitely my wedding dress back in Italy😍. A lot of my items have emotional value but I would say some of my favorites are the white ballerinas in the picture, my Tiffany necklace( present), 2 of my swimwear ( handmade and ethical), my bluemarine vintage t shirt.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t have a wardrobe but a walk in closet. I’m not counting. I’d get depressed. Of course I don’t use most of it and I always have a bag ready for donation. The problem is I like to shop too much... good ethnography exercise for me...

I have around 90 pieces of clothing plus 9 pairs of shoes. In 2015 I moved to another country and I could bring only limited amount of clothes. When I came back home after 2 years I realized that I do not actually need the stuff I left behind, so I gave most of it to my sister and I discarded the rest of it. I also made a cleanup of my wardrobe before coming back to my country.

I mostly wear my 3 pairs of jeans, 3 shirts, 1 sweater and 2 dresses depending on the season.

Most of the clothes I wear now I bought in 2016 and 2017, 25 items each year. But this year I decided to change the way I shop and invest in quality and natural fabrics. I bought only 2 pieces of clothes so far, including a pair of VEJA sinkers (sustainable and ethic French brand)  which now have the most emotional value for me because I bought them when I was in Denmark volunteering at Copenhagen Fashion Summit. They symbolize a goal that I set up for myself begging of this year.

Most expensive items in my wardrobe are both gifts. A Serbian designer blouse I got from my sister for my diploma two years ago. And a leather bag I got from my friend last year. Both worth round 250-300 EUR each.

having recently moved to a new continent, I had to majorly down size my wardrobe recently. I have 61 items including jackets/shoes/handbags. I have been trying to minimize my waste impact  and about 50% of my wardrobe is vintage or swaps from friends. Most of it has been acquired/purchased in the last 3 years. I add about 20 pieces per year and remove about 15 ( this year being the exception)

I have a blue paisley dress that I bought at a second hand store 8 years ago and it is still one of my favourite items of clothing

my most expensive item of clothing is a blazer that cost $700CAD.

I have  many pieces of clothing, like more than  100. The items that i wear the most are jeans and suits, i buy between 20 and 40  items per year. The most expensive item in my closet is a leather coat that cost me 400€. The items that holds an emotional value for me are all made of leather

This project really gave me a a picture of how my fashion purchasing habits have changed over time. I found this a really useful task to undertake as I am about to pack up and leave the country. Therefore, I need to downsize my wardrobe and take into account my spending habits before I start a fresh in a new city. I had so many clothes I hadn’t worn in such a long time! Also so many clothes that were very similar. It is really important to do this once in a while because it makes you understand what you actually need to buy or not buy and to curb your shopping habits to be more sustainable.

In total I had 82 items of clothing. This did not include undergarments or accessories inc. shoes.

This included –
31 tops
9 skirts
5 jumpers
2 pairs of jeans
3 light woven trousers
23 dresses
3 shawls
9 jackets

I would say …
10% were bought this year 2018
40% bought last year 2017
30% bought in 2016
20% bought before 2015

It is so hard to remember as I have not bought clothes in a long.
A lot of the clothes I owned were gifts, given to me by friends, or I had gotten from my previous fashion job for free. Around 15% of my clothes were vintage.

Can you identify which items you wear the most?
I wore my black clothes the most. Which I had a lot of in of very similar variations, which I realised is very silly. I also wore my levi jeans a lot. They are great quality. And now that I am a part-time teacher in Hong Kong…a country which is very hot. I like to wear light woven, baggy, breezy dresses.

How many items per year do you add and remove?
I removed 19 items during my ethnographic research. This was due to them being the wrong size, not my style anymore or the thought that I just no longer wore them. Hong Kong is really lacking in space. So you cannot have too many things. I will sell the clothes at my upcoming vintage & secondhand market that I am hosting here in Hong Kong. If they will not sell I will give them to the charity shop. I never throw my clothes away. I have done two hauls of clothing from my wardrobe this year. I would say I buy far less clothes, and cheap fast fashion items now that I am more interested in being a sustainable consumer.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
I would say my Levi jeans, that cost me around 100 pounds. I bought them in Australia on sale this Christmas just past. I tend not to spend a lot on my clothes. When buying better quality I wait for the sale or buy my clothes from stores like TKMaxx. I also look for brands, clothes in better quality from charity shops. I understand now that buying cheap, fast fashion pieces does not actually save you money in the long run. As they deteriorate easily, therefore need replacing faster.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I have three dresses that I have kept for a long time. One was the first dress I ever made. I have never worn it, but looking at what I accomplished at such a young age makes me proud. It also reminds me of all the hard work put into it. The other item is my prom dress. Which I bought from a charity shop in the UK for 5 pounds. The craftsmanship of the dress is so beautiful in white crepe silk with boning. I think it was tailor made for someone possibly a wedding. I would love to wear it again for a very specially occasion. And the third was another dress that my mum bought me for my 18th birthday from All Saints. I have never worn it again but it holds great sentimental value for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there are over 100 pieces of clothing. Recently I really like my new pair of jeans and white shirts because I feel really comfortable and confident in this outfit. A lot of clothes I haven’t worn for ages but it’s really hard for me to throw something. My clothes mean to me a lot. The most expensive thing is my winter jacket from ZARA. Usually I buy clothes during sale seasons. I’m really emotional about my clothes so a lot of them I really love. I really care about my clothes which I took with myself during my trips around Europe.

a small ethnographic study and it looks like I have +500 items
around %75 I bought the last 3 years.
The most valuable are the ones from my mum&grandma-cannot replace those
and there are some timeless pieces  I have been wearing like 15 years
I wear the jeans most :) and the jean jackets.
I try to remove as much as I buy
and since last year, I try to be very careful and picky what I buy, where I buy, do I really need or not. And I believe this mindset really helps.

# data[].attributes.body
I have too much! The quantity is in the high hundreds. First I need to explain that I ran an import/export apparel company for over 20 years and have articles from every single collection we represented. Every season meant a new selection of clothing. I am happy to say that I no longer participate in over consumption. I reuse, recycle what I already own, purchasing only 5-10 key quality items per year.
I wear about 65% of my wardrobe.
I remove about 20% per year, donating to charity or giving to friends and family.
The most expensive items in my wardrobe would be a Dior suit, LV and Balenciaga bags.
The Dior suit is sentimental b/c wore it at my wedding.

There are probably over 100 pieces of clothing in my wardrobe, but these are clothing items that I have accumulated over the past 15 years. From the past 6 years I have reduced the amount of clothes purchased. The past 3 years I have aimed to be considerate on the type of purchases, only purchasing if the product is necessary, will I wear it more that 7 times, does it have sustainable/ conscious attributes?

I have a range of items that I wear the most, but mainly go through phases. In the past 3 years one of my go to items is a denim boyfriend shirt (most times I wear it as a jacket or at times as a dress)

Each year, I’d add a few tees, dresses, trousers, a jumper and a pair of shoe. Some times it’s a lot less, sometimes it’s more, depending if I need it. At a stage now that the older clothes have started to wear away, so sustainable alternatives are needed to replace. I never throw my clothes away, I try to recycle them … but only if I understand the charity and know that the clothes will go to a greater cause.

Most expensive item I have in my wardrobe would probably be some of the designer things I have from sample sales. Most expensive item purchased is a silk hand woven sari- it’s gorgeous and timeless!

Items with most emotional value are not one particularly, but will be a range of garments that are attached to special memories. I have a selection of clothes that I have taken from my mum, which she used to wear in the early 90s, these are fun and somehow represent a bigger story.

At my day a day outfits I could say that I usually wear dresses. because I love tights and show my legs. However I use a huge quantity of T-shirts, which ones I combine them with skirts. Converse could be other elemental item that I wear most.

How many items per year do you add and remove?

I never have counted them though the number should approximate less than one hundred per year, if i consider all type of items. About removing items, I always make a learning before summer and before winter, this year I have just made one and I have removed almost 20 pieces.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

The most expensive item in my wardrobe could be a couple o bags of Chanel, I inherit them from my grandmother.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

As I consider before, the bags of Chanel could be the most emotional value of my wardrobe, they was a really meaningful present.

I have a minimal capsule wardrobe with interchangeable piece. I have a simple style and wear the same dress but in different prints.

Around 30 items of handmade clothing.

Made about 5 new pieces a year. Most expensive is my Mai jacket retailing £495.

Recently bought a second hand kimono from Japan. Emotional attachment as it has a story behind it and I am given it new life in a different country.

I have too many pieces in my closet, and I have to say, I did not count them all.

The piece I wear the most is jeans, the same jean always.

I always clean my closet, every two months I remove about 7 pieces.

My bags, and I am not sure if it is part of the closet, but jewelry is the most expensive things I have.

Also, the most emotional is jewelry, I have pieces that important people gave it to me in special moments of my life.

I have 190 pieces of clothing, excluding, shoes, bag, soft accessories and underwear.
I wear jeans and t-shirts most days, but this year I have been trying to wear more of my wardrobe. I try to rotate everything regularly to re inspire myself and remind myself of the great things I own. In the last 12 months I have added maybe 10-15 items of clothing. I had a big clear out last year when I moved and sold a lot, donated to charity shops and old tights and underwear went to recycling banks. But on average I remove maybe 10 items a year.
Having worked in fashion I am really lucky that a lot of my clothes come from discounts, sample sales and some gifts so sometimes the desirability of owning something beautiful by a certain designer gets the better of me. My most expensive item is an £800 Boss wool coat.
I'm trying to make more considered purchases now, and only buy items I really love and I want to keep for a while. A lot of my clothes are really great basics that are timeless, with a view to passing on to my daughters.
I own some vintage pieces too that I just really love, so a lot of my clothes have emotional value. But I would say I most treasure my Mum's Vivienne Westwood cotton culottes from 70's and a 50's vintage prom dress that she bought me for my birthday.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't count how many clothes I have, but I try to buy cloth which suppose to last long.
I wear skinny jeans almost everyday, and I have 6 or 7 skinny jeans but I usually wear 2 or 3 of them.
I'm sure everyone has their favourite clothes in their wardrobe as I do. But I try to wear every clothes as equally as possible because they are what I paid for, I think it's kind of waste of your money if you don't wear them after purchasing.
The most expensive item is the real lamb leather jacket. leather jackets were one of the topic on this course but I am for leather, because they last long and as long as we eat fresh meat, I believe we also should use aminal's skin. Otherwise it's gonna be just waste, isn't it? But of course they should be treated ethically.
Which cloth hold the most emotional value and why?
I have lots of cloth with gd memories so I can't tell you everything here but I guess people better to have some memories with their cloth so that they treat cloth well and cloth wouldn't be as disposable as now.

# data[].attributes.body
I have 156 pieces of clothing, not including pyjamas, underwear and shoes.

Items that I wear the most:
I mix up my clothes a lot and try to wear the pieces I don't wear often whenever I can. My look changes very often so I'd like to think I use everything at least 2-3 times a year. Which sounds crazy when you think of it that way.

Add/Remove:
Every 3 months,  I remove 8-10 pieces and give them to my aunt who visits orphanages in India and donates the clothes to the children there. I like knowing that my clothes are going somewhere to be used by those who are less fortunate. As often, when donating clothes to charity shops they end up flooding third-world countries and destroying local textiles markets. Whereas this way, I know that these children will appreciate them. I do go shopping very rarely, so pieces don't get added often so maybe 2-3 items every season? However, this fluctuates depending on weather there is a special occasion coming up!

Most Expensive Item:
Zara Coat £50
Prom Dress £60
Leavers Dress £50

Emotional Value:
I wear a lot of my mum's clothing from the 70s/80s so these probably have the most emotional value to me personally. So her Armani jeans and Dolce and Gabbana t-shirt. I did have a pair of Tesco's skinny jeans that I've worn for 5+ years which I loved but they ripped earlier this year so I've had to upcycle them.

I have about 180 pieces of clothes, no counting underwear or sport outfits.  Most of my clothes are old, I have some of 20 years or more, many  it has more than 10 years. The last 10 years I’ve changed my behaviour about my consumption habits, my point of view about life has been more relax and conscious. I repair my clothes a lot, I redesign some, and I take care of them always, that is why they are in perfect shape. Sometimes I give it away and I also sell it.  What I use most are my jeans, I have 5. In summer, my dresses and jeans jacket and in winter my sweaters and my wool coat. For little more formal occasions, I love my purple velvet jacket. I think on average I buy 6 to 8 garments per year and I transform, gift or sell some 6 to 8 also, sometimes more, the last years. I think the most expensive clothes in my closet would be a sweater of 100% hand-woven sheep wool, it is at least 5 years old, and a 100% wool coat, made in Italy, about 7 years old, both of my favourite garments . The garment that had the greatest value for me, was a very delicate wool vest, hand knitted, crocheted, of coloured squares that I had for more than 10 years, and that in an oversight I was robbed in the gym 5 years ago, ... from that moment, I no longer have a greater sentimental attachment to my clothes, I only care for it, because I like it and value it.

Its about 200 pieces without shoes, underwear, yoga cloth and bags...
What I wear the most are my levis jeans and some dresses in summer.

I’ve never count how many items I add per year… but seems like a lot, this year I already add 22 items and I’m supposed to save... Half of them are my own design but I can realize it's more an excuse.  I do wardrobe cleaning twice a year and separate the clothes that I do not left or I have not used for more than two years, I give them to Silvita, the person who helps me at home. Some times I think I should sell them but at the end, I give them to Silvi, my nieces or friends.

The most expensive item is my Missoni dress… I really don’t use it tooo much.
The items that hold the most emotional value is my Guatemala embroidered dress and my long brocade skirt by Francesca for Damon that I inherited from my mom.

This is only the clothes I have at University, so there is probably about double all in all. Honestly it makes me feel quite sick. Half of this I barely wear. Just here there is 145 pieces. This consists of a lot of jeans, many jumpers and a lot of basic t shirts which are the items I wear the most from day to day. About 15% of the clothes are brought within the last 4 months. There most expensive item is a £600 pair of over the knee leather boots. I regret buying them as I hardly ever wear them apart form in the winter. However because they are real leather they are very durable and I am hoping they will last a long time. Quality is something I really value.

Honestly, this is only 3/4 of my clothing, the rest are in a series of drawers. I assume I have 240+ articles of clothing but the majority has been purchased over a year ago. This last year, I have been trying to save money and the environment by buying less and buying better. This year I have bought eight new articles of clothing, shoes included. I have only purchased simple items that mix well with each other. Using the internet to sell old clothing or give away to friends has been an on going project of mine as I hardly wear anything in my wardrobe anymore.
I wear my Lululemon gym attire most and my new balance sneakers as I like being casual and the most expensive things in my wardrobe are my mother’s old designer bags. The item I feel most emotionally connected to is the shirt my grandmother wore to my parents wedding which I still wear very often . :)

I set myself the task to minimise my wardrobe over the past few years. My personal transition to a curated ethical and sustainable one, has been a process. I currently have 21 pieces of activewear under 30 evryday/casual items which I vigorously rotate for ultimate wear. I have a considered process for anything potentially coming into my wardrobe, reassessing the pieces I have and their contribution each year. Some of these pieces I've had for over 5 years and I love, however my active gear is more frequently changed as a result of performance quality, and of working for a sportswear brand. I have 2 pairs of All Birds sneakers, an old pair of leather boots, a secondhand pair of flats and sandals from a trade in Vietnam.

I own about 300 pieces of clothing. The ones shown in the picture are just a part of them. I realized I don't wear the majority of them, and I always stick with my favorite pieces, like regular jeans and vans. In the past I was used to shop in fast fashion retails, as they provide cute and fashionable clothes at cheap prices. Since I went vegan 2 years ago I became more aware of the huge impact that the fashion industry has on our environment and I started caring about sustainability and environmental, ethical issues. Now I don't shop as much as I was used to and I don't even enter in fast fashion shops no more. I prefer shopping in vintage stores, second hand markets and buy less but better. I would say that thanks to this healthier lifestyle in the last 2 years I purchased the half of pieces compared to the previous year. From time to time I donate some items to charity, now I remove from my wardrobe about 20-25 item per year,but I have to admit that I don't refresh my wardrobe frequently. Five years ago I was used to buy approximately 50-60 pieces per year. Now I slowed down a lot and and this year (2018) I bought about 20 pieces. The most expensive items I have are designer bags. The items that have the most emotional values are one jacket and one pair of shoes that are my boyfriend's present.

Can you identify which items you wear the most

With the exception of some black tie outfits, the majority of my clothes can be worn night or day, work or social, so they get a regular workout! I go through phases where something becomes a favourite though - sometimes years later.

How many items per year do you add and remove?

Many of my clothes are around 15 years old, they are well made and still suit my personality and weight. I mostly add and remove undergarments yearly, and anything that has seen better days becomes mending scraps, cleaning rags or ties for my garden.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

A beaded cape made by my great grandmother, to me it is priceless.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

The clothes that I bought during a time when I was really ill, I haven’t had the heart to move them on yet even though they really don’t fit me. They remind me that I am a fighter.

I have over 204 items in my closet (from memory, as I'm away from home), including shoes, hats, and bags, but excluding socks and underwear.

The items I wear most include black high-waisted jeans, rainboots, light puffy jacket, belt, favourite black top with a pretty neckline, my slouchy black sweater, big puffy jacket, beige toms shoes, and black sweatpants... Can you can tell all we wear in Vancouver is black?

I estimate I get about 25 new items in, 25 out per year. Almost all are passed to my younger sister or mother, then donated. Most clothing going going in is thrifted or eco.

My most expensive items would be my  $200 CAD leather steve madden boots, and my vintage issey miyake matching set in a beautiful alligator-green colour for $150 CAD.

The items with the most emotional value for me are my flower-child dress ((because I have never found a single garment (new or vintage) that made me feel quite as wonderful as this dress does)), and my heirloom ring, because it was passed on from my grandmother, who carries a tradition of doing so.

No image today, since I am out of town.

This is a section of my wardrobe which I share with my boyfriend. There's more...and drawers! I do have too much but as a designer I have accumulated a lot over the years, most of it luxury which I will continue to keep for a long time and also for sentimental value. I purchase around 40 new items a year, which could definitely be lower but as a designer I'm more conscious about what I invest in, with quality being very important to me. I like to see it as an archive and every year I pull out old things which I continually enjoy wearing. When it is time for a clear out I try to sell as much as I can so I know it's going to people who want it, or give to friends and family. Only those items that are too old or tired go to recycling which I only hope is recycled in a sustainable way and not just shipped overseas!

sorry, no picture as i have just moved house. I left over half my clothes there! and still have loads.... but over the years my wardrobe has grown with more handmade and vintage pieces and way less fast, cheap fashion.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

A beautiful dress by a local designer that was $350. It was bought last year and I have worn it three times so far.

I have a black dress that I may never wear again, but I will always keep as I wore it to my fathers funeral.

This is only one part of my closet so it’s fair to say I have a lot of clothes. Since I work in the industry I usually say it’s my job to look good, and that requires a good full wardrobe. But as environmentalist what you see here are almost exclusively from local designers or vintage. I had to come to terms with my fashion love and making informed choices about how I fill my closet was crucial way to make that happen. Could I have less? You betcha! I do regularly clear out but then it’s another season of fashion week and I need to look fresh and lovely. That’s when another visit to Value Village is at hand. Smart shopping and a love of fashion; I think it possible.
