My Wardrobe

csfxfuture — 2018-04-09 12:44:02 UTC

I've decided to look at my summer wardrobe. After grouping my items together, I've realised my purchasing habits have not changed that much in the past 10 years. My oldest item dates from 2007 and is an embroidered Mexican blouse I bought in Mexico City. My most expensive is a floral dress which cost me £90 purchased in 2012. The items which hold most value are the ones which remind me of an event/occasion. So after time it's no longer solely about the cost. My worst habit is most probably my t-shirt buying as bar 3 t-shirts, all the others were purchased in 2017!

I took a recent photo of the coat section of my wardrobe. Living in London, I think it's important to have a well stocked raincoat section. The second item from the left which is a coat I bought in Japan for roughly £25 is the one I wear most often (on a daily basis) because it was cheap and stylish so I wouldn't feel bad if it got dirty. I hold the most sentimental value to the left most item as it's the one and only time I've ever purchased a luxury item for myself.

What I like about 2 items in this section of my wardrobe are that the middle 2 items are from a second hand shop. I like to visit these shops to re-use items so that I'm not always purchasing new when these gently used goods are just as good.

I do not attach value to clothes. I like shopping and would rather buy quality over quantity.
This said I love fashion, the history of couture, family transmission of savoir-faire, beautiful fabric, and as an art passionate believe fashion is in symbiose with art, looking at the movement, eccentric designs such as for example the icon Alexander McQueen.
The items that hold the most value to me are the ones that my grandmother and mother gifted me, as well as those I purchased at the beginning of my career.
I do a 2ce a year cupboard review and gift these to the less fortunate. Similarly shop 2ce a year for quality pieces and maybe get 1-2 new pieces per season.

Inside my closet

2018-04-13 16:15:06 UTC

I have about 140 items in my closet. What I wear most is based on a specific activity or destination. For example, I have my staples for the office (suiting, dresses), my staples for casual outings (jeans, tank tops, blazers), my staples for travel (mostly dresses), etc. I try to rotate my clothes, not to always wear the same thing. Sometimes I discover a garment I had forgotten about. In 2018, I have added only one dress and a pair of thigh high boots so far. The item that means the most to me in a custom tailored blazer made for me in Kabul, which includes traditionally stitched embellishments.

hillzroy — 2018-04-22 01:22:22 UTC

I have well over 100 items in my wardrobe. (My partner is very accommodating!)
I have constructed an astounding jammed packed wardrobe inspired and influenced by the highly conceptual designers, like Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe, Martin Margiela, Issey Miyake.
Creating and constructing clothing that forces me to take on a different perspective regarding aesthetic values and techniques is extremely stimulating.
The only purchased items I possess are jeans and undergarments.
I probably wear the skirts the most, for work, but I think I could just about go each day and not wear the exact same ensemble twice.
I don't cull much, maybe every 5 years. This wardrobe has been put together since 2005.
I think the most expensive item has to be my wonderful Issey Miyake Pleats Please bag. It cost 150 pounds, and if I had a dollar back for every compliment it received, I could pay it twice over!
Lots of items have an emotional value, because they are an expression of 'my craft' at work. I am a 21st Century Needlewoman

amberpigini — 2018-04-22 11:55:21 UTC

Inside my wardrobe:
When I see my wardrobe I most wear jeans and t-shirts. They are comfortable and easy to weare.
Per year i add around 20 pieces of clothes and I remove clothes that I bought 2 years ago, around 15 clothes per year. The most expensive items that I have in my wardrobe are bags, I love luxury bags.
Exactly I don’t have emotional clothes, an item that I consider particular and I have feelings with is a sweater that I bought in Milwaukee from Marquette Univesity. I have attend a summer course five hears ago at Marquette and that item makes me remember about that fantastic journey and period where I studied a fantastic course called “retoric and composition”.

I definitely have well over 100 items in my wardrobe. Over recent years I have stopped shopping from high-street retailers and have donated any clothing from these types of brands. I now choose my clothing with the idea in mind that I will have to wear it at least 30 times, something I got from an Ecoage article. I also inherit a lot of clothing from my mother whom I have tried to educate on not being so atuned to trends and focusing on lasting pieces. In any case when her wardrobe gets to full, it comes into mine. What I wear the most are the pieces that can be worn for work and for my free time.

My Wardrobe: change in progress

2018-04-23 16:20:37 UTC

My wardrobe is undergoing a massive change. I am throwing away a lot of stuff and I am buying new items. I am not able to quantify but I am definitely more oriented towards quality and style. The most valuable item is a new Burberry coat + skarf. I love them and to me they mean a lot in terms of how I am changing. I feel I want to wear only specific and more valuable and elegant items, quality is more important to me now. I give my old staff for charity as I don't like throwing away things other people could benefit from. I believe this is a right approach to reduce waste and to help people in need

My Wardrobe by Juanfran Suárez

2018-04-23 17:19:28 UTC

150 pieces of all types (shirts, sweaters, jackets, coats, t-shirts, etc.), bought or created by me, divided into two closets (this is one of them).

Location: Granada, Spain.

Analyzing my acquisitions in all this time, I realize that in the last three years I have reduced the clothing that has been incorporated into my wardrobe. I have bought less clothes, but of higher price and quality (the most expensive piece is a 100 € silk shirt). In general, most of them are basic clothes with basics colors, outside of trends, which are the clothes that I use everyday.

Since I've been in the fashion world (I'm a designer), I've become more demanding when it comes to buying. I look more at the clothes, their materials, how the piece is finished, and that has reduced my consumption a lot.

I usually use the whole the clothes that are in my closet, although I usually buy a piece a year whose use is limited only a couple of times (for now).

For me, the most important pieces of my wardrobe are those that I have made myself, plus some that have given me.

True Confessions

TheDressmaker — 2018-04-25 09:38:35 UTC

I make my clothes and am pretty loyal to one brand that used to hit the design mark with me. I have a LOT of clothes and try to have them interchangeable - I like the idea of a capsule wardrobe - only I have a whole packet of capsules! :-) I stopped counting at 180 pieces!
As a Textiles teacher I try to wear something that shows my love of textiles and use all the items to create as many interesting combinations as I can. However on the weekends, it on with the faded and patched jeans and knits I usually make from combining fabrics from my previously discarded items - stretch fabrics feature highly in my wardrobe for their easy care and wearability!
I have been making since a teen and the branded purchases have been accumulating for the past 8 years. I do not have anything in my robes that I can not wear - if I cant I reuse the fabric and reimagine it it's upcycled it into another piece.
Shoes - well I used to be a bit of an Imelda Marcos but have culled it through natural attrition to good, comfy and quality pieces that will last the abuse my daily life gives them.
My most expensive clothing piece is a black suede coat at AU$450 bought at least 16 years ago and it meant I went without for a very long time!
Some of my favourite 'made by me' pieces are based on the designers patterns from Vogue Sewing Patterns during the 90s, in particular those by Issey Miyake. I love fabric origami! Most of my clothing feature some kind of folding or draping fabric manipulation.
I have two clothing pieces - both jackets - that are emotional keepers for me - I no longer fit into them but will never part with. One is a fabulously folded and draped Issey M I made in denim blue jacquard weave and another is a wide shouldered coat from the late 80's featuring a bold modern Bloomsbury printed linen from Laura Ashley title 'Queen Mary" (very UN Laura Ashley for its time!)
Because I'm an experienced and trained sewist I am super critical of construction processes and fabric values and avoid the fast fashion items. I must admit I hate shopping for clothing and when I do shop I prefer online through one brand site as I am familiar with their sizing, style and quality and when they reduce their prices!

2018-04-25 17:52:50 UTC

I've moved a lot, so I had to donate a lot of clothing items, most of them I've never worn. Before I would buy clothes every few weeks, now I buy 2-3 items per year at a thrift store, except for underwear. I have definitely worn my clothes over 30 times.
The most expensive items in my wardrobe would be 2 blouses and a skirt from an internship with Elie Saab. The items that hold the most emotional value are 2 pairs of pants and a skirt, that belong to my mom and a skirt I've sewn using Haute Couture tecniques.

Dizzy wardrobe

Couting the number of pieces in my wardobe made me dizzy.

I have around 170 pcs, and this doesn't include the winter pieces that are in boxes nor my night garments.

I live in a small parisian flat, which is a good pressure to not clutter up my closet.

But still! 170! I'm shocked.

I know I have many many items and I try to wear them all. I can clearly identify those I almost never wear - mostly because I lack occasions, or because I've bought it several years ago and I know they don't flatter me (the advantage of getting old héhé).

I've started one year and a half ago to write down all the items I bought and why (mainly when replacing worn out one by another). Last year I've bought 13 items (not including the panties and tights), which was clearly more than 30% less than the years before, and today I'm at 4pcs for 2018.
I am making my own clothes again, which is not always easy, but much more satisfying. I only buy what I can’t make (shoes,underwear), and the next handbag I will buy will be second-hand.

The most expensive item I have is a 400€ handbag I offered myself with a bonus.

The items that have the most emotional value are those I've been given because they are related to memories or heritage.
Lately my mom gave me a 80's skirt I remembered having seen and loved on her when I was a child. I haven't worn it yet, it's really too much for the daily life but I will wear it for a wedding soon and I'm so excited about it!
Another piece is a lace shirt from my great-grandmother my mom (again!) gave me. I didn't dare wear it yet, it's so beautiful.

I have around 180 pieces of all types (I didn't count sneakers).

When I look at my wardrobe I most wear t-shirts and jeans. I'm obsessed with oversized or men t-shirts, ripped jeans and denim jackets. Last year I add in my wardrobe around 20 pieces and remove old clothes that I didn't wear for years (cca. 30 pieces). The most expensive items in my wardrobe are definitely sneakers. I'm a collector and I'm obsessed with Jordans and Old Skools. One of my most expensive pairs are Ultra Boost by Adidas, which costed around 180€.

Over years I have bought less clothes, but every piece has very good quality. In general, most of them are t-shirts of my favorite streetwear brands, which aren't made in China or Bangladesh. The difference of their quality when I compare them with fast fashion t-shirts is insane.

Since I've been working in one of the Inditex's brands, I'm more careful with buying clothes from stores with fast fashion. I look more on the materials and before I buy something from these stores, I'm thinking of the fact, if I really need it. Since I'm not working there anymore (thankfully), I have reduced my consumption of clothing a lot.

ludovica_mucci — 2018-04-30 11:01:38 UTC

My wardrobe is mostly composed of blouses of all sorts, some of them bought about four or five years ago but I still wear them sometimes. Of course, I keep buying them, only last month I bought three new blouses with flowery themes. T-shirts are also a huge part of my wardrobe, some of which I bought online, others in person, but usually I do not spend too much on them since they are basic and their quality is not very good; because of this I have to get rid of them sooner than I would. The most expensive piece of clothing I own is a pair of Gucci shoes my mother gave me as a gift for my bachelor degree, emotively speaking those are really important to me. Usually there are no specific months in a year in which I buy clothes, I tend to buy less clothes more often instead of waiting too much and then buying lots of them even when I do not really need them. Since my interest in fashion and sustainability got deeper I pay close attention to the materials the clothes are made of and try to buy sustainably whenever I can.

My wardrobe

2018-04-30 12:50:54 UTC

Too many clothes, around 200 pieces of clothes in my actual wardrobe (spring summer). I have almost the same for autum winter season. This is without counting swimwear, socks, bags, shoes, ski clothes and underwear... I have accumulated all these clothes from the last 15 years and I'm not proud of having so much. However some of my clothes, mainly shoes, bags and jackets I have them for sometimes more than 10 years and I still used them sometimes. The problem is all the fast fashion I don't like anymore, used just a little and that is now in the basement, in boxes or hidden behind all the piles of other pieces. I mainly always wear the same clothes.
I was buying much more when I was living in a big city. If I count what I bought the last 2 years, it's very little compare to the last 10 years.
Now I buy much less, more expensive, better quality and no more fast fashion.
At begining of each season, I sort my clothes and discard/give/sale around 15 items. Much more if I'm moving.
The most expensive items are luxury bags, shoes and winter coats.
I value the most the items I bought for a special occasion, the very good quality items, Designers pieces and the confortable pieces.

My wardrobe

2018-04-30 15:25:35 UTC

A few weeks ago I reorganized my room and decided to keep a reck with the clothes I wear the most in my room which you can see in the picture. I have +150 pieces (of clothing) in my other wardrobe. Of course I don't wear all of them so I am aware that I should do something about it but for me it is really difficult to throw them away. The item I wear the most are my black levi's pants because I can really wear them with every piece I have in my closet. I also love to wear sweaters. I think that I purchase every year 20-30 pieces and I try to remove at least that much pieces out of my wardrobe. The most expensive piece of clothing I bought was a dress from FL&L which costed €400. The sad thing about the dress is that when you wear it you look immediately overdressed, people in Belgium aren't used to see very special clothes, but besides that it is the most beautiful dress I own. A lot of the clothes I have, I bought abroad, so I think about those trips when wearing the clothes. My Chanel bag is the bag with the most emotional value for me because it was the first designer bag I ever bought, this is also the most expensive piece looking at whole my closet.

OMG! I have around 230 pieces without the winter styles. I need to do something now!! This year I´ve decided not to buy anything else for one month. And then another month.... I reduced a lot the quantity of thing that I buy.

I have around 160 pieces in my wardrobe, not counting footwear. I tend to buy twice a year - autumn and spring - and then the occasional item inbetween, like tees. I sort my wardrobe twice a year too, and probably throw out half the number of new items I buy. I've already run out of space, my wardrobe is packed very tightly! My most expensive item would probably be boots or trainers. I tend to buy too much of the same thing, eg. black tees. I'm trying to brighten up my wardrobe, as around half of it is grey and black, which is my go-to look.

PatriciaJane — 2018-04-30 22:59:44 UTC

My wardrobe reflects my recent transition from office career to retired artist and maker and from coast to inland climates. I have about 110 pieces and estimate 25% are less than 4 years old, the rest are those acquired prior to our move. I wear about 10% of my wardrobe 90% of the time, yoga pants and sweaters or t-shirts; comfortable for the studio. At least 50% of my clothes are ‘archived’ at present (size and/or office attire not needed). I probably have a 10% turnover in clothing from year to year, a significant reduction since my office days.

My most expensive item is an Eileen Fisher long jacket, which goes with other pieces in her collection.

I’m not particularly sentimental about my clothes, but I have two favourite jackets, a Ralph Lauren classic navy wool jacket (with the emblem) and a Jones New York jacket in wool, with a mandarin collar. Both were made in the USA and have been in my collection for about 20 years. These jackets were smart looking, versatile and long-wearing and I always felt ‘put together’ when I wore them; I think of them as reliable old friends!

This ethnographic research was a reminder that my transition from office to artist continues; I can’t quite let go of all those suits, and still haven’t found my new artist style!

I couldn't bring myself to count all my clothes. I have so many- too many- and it causes me a lot of stress just thinking about it! 2 years ago we moved from a house with no wardrobes (had our own freestanding ones and some clothes racks). Now I have 2 full size wardrobes- one for work and one for the rest of my clothes. I have 3 drawers full with a shelf on top and then another set for floor to roof shelves of clothes. I have bags and bags of clothes I don't wear that I'm planning to sell at a market or donate. I'm trying to avoid buying anything else and if I do it's second hand. It makes me a bit sick thinking about how many clothes I have- I wish I shopped smarter and hoarded less. I don't know what the most expensive thing in my wardrobe is- I tend not to buy pricey things. I can't think of one thing that holds a lot of sentimental value either. A lot of my clothes are old- today I'm wearing a shirt I bought 7 years ago, my pants, bra, socksand shoes probably 3 years old, and my cardigan about 5 years old.

I know many of you ain't gonna believe this, but I can count my clothing items on my both hands : about 7 to 8 each, that is Dress Shirts, Polo Shirts, Trousers. Exception of course for the innerwears : loads of socks, underwear and Tshirts available.

My Wardrobe

2018-05-01 09:32:04 UTC

I have about 120 pieces of clothing in my wardrobe. I was shocked when I first counted because I don’t feel as though my style varies that much. From day to day I wear skirts constantly so am always buying tops that suit skirts as I can never find skirts that I love. Even if I’m not too keen on a top I am guilty of buying it just so it looks as though I have a varied wardrobe. In the last year my wardrobe has probably doubled in size but I gave a lot of things to charity to justify new clothes. The reason I bought so much was that I began sixth form so no longer wore the same uniform 5 days a week. Therefore, I wanted to create a wardrobe that suits my aesthetic by buying things I liked even if I knew I didn’t need it, just to appear more of a ‘fashion student’. I do two sciences and fashion so it is easy to have creativity feel lost. Choosing what clothes I wear on a morning gives me some of that back and I like expressing myself differently to the jeans anyone else wears. After taking the photo of my wardrobe I realised how many white tops a have- a lot. Probably too many but I wear them every single day of the week because they match everything and appear bright and optimistic. The only problem is that I always feel people are judging me for wearing similar tops so I have lots with different styles.
Before doing this I was thinking about having to buy a spring wardrobe but now I have been reminded about so many tops I had forgotten about as I just get blind by being used to my own wardrobe. I also need to buy more sustainability as I am guilty of being only from high street shops since my budget isn’t massive. From now on I am going to debate purchases before I make them and only buy if I know I love it, otherwise I won’t justify the wear out of it.

I don't have a wardrobe

Runbluemouse — 2018-05-01 10:10:23 UTC

I have one draw in a chest of draws. I have 32 pieces including gloves, vest, swimming suit. I didn't include socks or underpants. All my clothes need to be once which I can cycle with. In average I use everything at least once a week.Except from gloves and swimming suit. The most expensive items is my Assos cycling tights. They are brilliant!! I had them for at least ten years. To replace them it will cost me £150. My favoured item is my Morris Minor boiler suit from the 1960s.A friend gave it to me who got it from a friend who worked in the Morris Minor car factory, which has stopped production for years. It has the classic Morris green colour. It's full of holes but I am still using it. It's more comfortable to the Dickies women's boiler suit. I love the colour. I love wearing old cloth because is usually softer. I replace dresses and leggings appropriately every 3 years. But I place them in a bag to wear when doing messy jobs under the boiler suit, which I do 3-4 times a week. They last me at least 3 more years.

janegrice24 — 2018-05-01 12:01:54 UTC

My Wardrobe (not including chests of drawers and other cupboards)

I have roughly 70 item/outfits that were purchased new and 20 that I have upcycled. The oldest is probably 15 years old, possibly more. The items I treasure
are a a wonderful Montana coat which no longer fits me and is probably far older than 15 years, and a beautiful green leather Betty Jackson coat. Neither fits me now. By contrast I have a £1 charity shop pink denim men's shirt, that I bought to cut up but decided instead to wear.

I do also have probably an equal amount, if not more that are destined to be reused in some way.

How much of that lot do I wear? Not a lot! Most of it will very rarely be worn and some could join my stash of items for upcycling.

2018-05-01 12:25:06 UTC

It is an estimate based on counting one section but my clothing is over 350 items... Roughly there are 60 outdoor activity items: 50 party/formal outfits: 80 items for summer: 30 outfits that are loved and may fit sometimes: 20 black outfits for music performance; 10 suits from former work: c100 casual outfits. The oldest item is a long black couture evening dress second hand from my mother's friend. The most expensive an Easton Pearson evening jacket with gold thread. The most worn white 3/4 cotton jeans. Most loved a cosy long hand woven multi coloured jacket. I attempt to select clothes for the month so nothing is not worn for over 2 years....

How irresponsible...

ra_vega_alfaro — 2018-05-01 12:29:32 UTC

Yes, this is not an easy task. I have over a 200 pieces of garments, and more than 30 pairs of shoes. Weekdays I mainly use suits or suit jackets for work, and some pieces for the gym - jeans on Fridays. I also separate my W/F and S/S clothes...also for my work and shoes. I invest an lot in shoes...my feet are supporting the rest of my body all day, so they are very important for me...and I do have some not-so-cheap ones. I tend not to be attracted by cheap options, even when I travel to developing countries, where I rather visit local designers shops than regular ones...I also like jewels, but I keep it simple...basically silver and semi-precious stones, so nothing very expensive. Four watches, but two are the ones I use...the others are for hiking. I do have pieces that I wear once a year...many...but also, I take very good care of my clothes, so it tend to last long...but I have few pieces over 10 yrs (the time of my move from Costa Rica to EU).

mayaemarx — 2018-05-01 12:47:31 UTC

I share my closet with my husband. I have about 120 hanging pieces of clothes, so I must easily have more than 300 pieces of garments in my wardrobe.

I use all the pieces that I have and know the ones I use the most, but I have no idea about the quantity of pieces I add or remove per year. I have an emotional attach for the most of my pieces because I really love and enjoy collect and use them.

May be the most expensive item is a black leather PRADA bag that I basically use every day.

2018-05-01 14:01:55 UTC

I’m proud of my wardrobe because just looking at it I think it shows my personal style of how I like bright colors and patterns. I have enough clothes to give me options of what to wear for different occasions. Many I have had over the years, some my mom has given me from when she was younger, and 20 pieces are from thrift stores. I find good brands like J.Crew at my Salvation Army and they are like new! I live near a more wealthy neighborhood so maybe that’s why.

A Cape Town wardrobe

luanne_slingerland — 2018-05-01 14:48:36 UTC

I love 60% of my wardrobe. There are far too many impulse purchases, and then the classics that I wear over and over again.
I have about 220 items in my wardrobe and automatically veer toward wearing jeans, white shirts (t-shirts and button down shirts) and anything with a stripe!
This year i have added 5 items to my wardrobe - 2 are fast fashion, the rest have been purchased based on their ethical approach to fashion and fabrics.
i have made a point of cutting down what I buy.
Last year, i would easily add 2-3 new items to my wardrobe every month.
My most used piece is a leather black bag which I use everyday.
Then i have statement pieces which are not worn often but l love them.

Italian Wardrobe

lety_bosisio — 2018-05-01 15:56:43 UTC

At the moment in my wardrobe there are at least 160 pieces of clothes, without even counting underwear, socks and sport clothing.
Thanks to this task I realized that there are items that I did not even know I had and some that I haven't seen in years!
Luckily 90% of the wardrobe would pass the 30 uses of EcoAge: using the same garment for more than 30 times. On the other hand, I know that I should start donate or recycle some clothes as I do not use them anymore.
The most expensive item is my Calvin Klein anorak that I bought 5 years ago and I still use it every winter: one of the best purchases I have ever made.
In my wardrobe the ones that i consider the best pieces are either the ones that my mum or grandma gave me (purses or dresses) or the ones that are associated with special occasions (my graduation dress).

Sao Paulo - Daniela's wardrobe

danipreti — 2018-05-01 20:23:11 UTC

I've counted 251 pieces of clothing excluding underwear.
I really like my clothes and use most of it often. I have pieces as old as 10 years old (excluding a few vintage pieces from my grandma's wardrobe) .
I believe my wardrobe to be very reasonable sized and to fit my lifestyle well.
This year I've added about 7 pieces, but I am not sure how sustainable they are as brands in Brazil usually don't share much information about their sustainable practices, so I try to buy natural fabrics and look for styles that i know are suitable to me and I will wear for a long time.
My most expensive item is probably a biker leather jacket I had for 7 years. It is a very good quality item and great style, so I probably will still use it for many years to come.
I will definitely be more aware of what I buy from now on.

New Jersey - Briana’s Wardrobe

brianaseferian — 2018-05-02 00:06:33 UTC

I have hundreds of items of clothing - 55 pairs of pants (most of which are denim), 10 jackets that wouldn’t count as actual coats, dozens of tank tops and sweaters, and 18 button down shirts, most of which are some variation of blue/denim. The oldest items are over 10 years, I tend not to get rid of things unless I really never wear them, and then I try to donate or resell them on ThredUP. I am a designer though so most of my new additions (about 10-20 per year) are my own designs or are new proportions as my older clothes start to feel dated. My most expensive item, other than my wedding dress, is a DVF dress that I adore and trade back and forth with my sister as the season changes. I rotate warm weather items and cold weather items every season. My most emotional items are my wedding dress and some clothes that I inherited from my grandmother.

In my closet I have about 210 garments, reviewing their origin and remembering what year I bought them, I find clothes that have been there for 10 years or more, and others new. The 50% of my garments are used daily, the rest are design garments, or alternative brands, some are 7 years old, another 5, others 3, are garments that I use on special occasions, outings,coats and that have an important value for my, either because of who gave them to me, because I bought them on a trip, because their design is interesting or innovative, because they respond to some of the sustainable design precentions (they are made by hand, the material is very good) These garments are washed by hand, every year I order all the closet and separate what I have not used for a long time, except for these special garments (the specials one are the 30% of it). I am a person who don´t strictly follows fashion. This year I added 4 items and discarded close to 30 (those discarded items I give to friends, daughters or charities) The most expensive item I have is like a hand-woven scarf in loom and embroidery by an artist and designer from the city of Salta, Argentina, is a unique piece. There are several items that I consider valuable: a Colombian designer pants of very good clothing that my husband gave me (he is 6 years old), I value the design and choose clothes whose design is contemporary, not fashionable.

My Wardrobe

2018-05-02 03:58:48 UTC

I have approximately 186 items of clothing in my closet (excluding underwear and pyjamas).

The items I wear most often include my jeans, joggers, leggings, dresses and t-shirts.

I usually add around 20 new items per year, with the majority of those being secondhand. I usually remove about the same, if not more items per year.

In terms of emotional value, I find that I am connected to certain articles of clothing that hold memory. For example, there is a shirt that my dad got me, that I have worn on numerous family vacations, that brings emotions of happiness and family.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

2018-05-02 08:15:28 UTC

I have ca. 50 hanging clothes in my "chiang Mai" wardrobe, excluding the winter clothes packed in boxes for the cases I travel back to Europe or to colder countries. so i have more clothes, but i really do not want to look at them and count them, as they remind me on cold weather. most of my clothes are either self made with fabrics purchased directly at local weavers workshops, sewn by some friends or presents and second hand clothes. in south east asian countries you do not need a big variety of clothes and shoes, as the weather is pretty stable, having no winter time. but also there is a limit of purchase you can do, as most of the shops sell Asian sizes shoes and clothes.

My wardrobe; finnish style

susanna_helovuori — 2018-05-02 08:37:22 UTC

I have about 55 hanging clothes in my wardrobe plus twelve blouses, 10 pants, three skirts and four "summer pants" and shorts. Coats for every four seasons (I live in Finland!) which adds up to 20. Then a pile of tees and tops in the drawer. Underwear excluded. Sportswear and pyjamas are numerous but I use them all. The amount os shoes shocked me the most as I didn't think I have that many.. So about 35 pairs of shoes plus two running sneakers and two pairs of tennis shoes. And couple pairs of Hawaianas. My goodness.. I could roughly say that I use half of my clothes regularly and half of them every now and then. Yearly, I would say I add 15 pieces, half of them are usually second hand.. And I remove (resell(/give away) about the same. My most expensive piece of clothing is my Vaute Couture jacket which I bought last year. I love it and I love that wearing it is also kind of a statement as Vaute is a small vegan brand. Then the clothes I consider the best pieces are the ones I absolutely LOVE wearing such as my red dress that I bought from sales in 2012. Then I have a bag from my grandmother that I value very much and wear with pride and with love. It surely has emotional value.

My wardrobe(s)...

arydb — 2018-05-02 14:55:57 UTC

I’m using 2 wardrobes as the one in the picture. There are almost 200 hundred pieces, including items that I have been using for many many years (there are also dresses from my mother and my grandmother that I still use). I take really care of clothes so they last a lot (20 years also), choosing them of a good quality. In the last two years I have given away almost the double of items as gift and started to reduce purchases a lot (now I buy 10 items with specific characteristics a year and giving away the double). I would like to reduce it more.
Items that I love most are the ones hand-made by me or by my grandmother, the ones owned by mother when she was young, the ones made with high quality sustainable materials by special crafters (bought in Italy or abroad) and the ones “discovered” in second hand shop like finding a treasure! Each of them has a story. If I do not have strong feelings for one item anymore, now I give it away. I’m keep going in improving!

My "in remodeling process" wardrobe

eloramajean — 2018-05-02 16:29:08 UTC

Too much (189 without underwear) is what I have in my wardrobe, still containing pieces that I do not wear that often because I don't know how to match them or because I am not comfortable in.
The items I wear the most are the basics : jeans, black pants, neutral t-shirts and 2 or 3 specific blouses
I use to sort out my wardrobe every season and sell the discarded one on flea markets. I used to sell a lot to buy a lot however my goal now is to reduce the amount of selling and buying as I would think my wardrobe in a more sustainable way.
My consumption was so automatic that I really can't remember the year I've bought the items.
As for the most expensive piece... I think It is a Blazer (and the price is surely not even worth it as it comes from a multinational brand) that I wanted so much and that I can't even wear anymore because It became too small for me.
Concerning the emotional value, I think that It is usually related to great moments like a blouse worn at a successful exam or a hat bought in Peru... the ones having emotional value are the ones worn or bought at big moments of my life.
I am glad this exercice had me realize that I can reduce my wardrobe even more, I am actually trying to remodel it in a sustainable way. It is not an easy task as I have to see what items are the most important in my wardrobe and what I still need to complete a basic and fully used wardrobe AND in the same time do my research to find the sustainable pieces in question. I hope I will finally be proud of my wardrobe and get an easy sustainable thinking

Giulia's wardrobe

2018-05-02 19:25:17 UTC

I have at least 60 items in my wardrobe at the moment. I have added this year so far 5 new items, and i have removed instead 10 items, which were old and damaged. I usually add no more than 10-15 items per year, which are mostly from sales. At the end of winter or summer season I tend to check the clothes I have and if I have to remove anything, and if it's in a good state I would give it to charities or sometimes my friend would want it. The item i wear the most is a pair of grey denim trousers, because they make me feel comfortable and they are perfect for every season. My most expensive item is a pair of shoes, which i bought as the brand was the only one to make boots of my size.
One of my t-shirt hold the most emotional value, because my mother bought it for me for one of my birthday, and whenever I wear it I feel happy as that day.
I am moving towards a more sustainable consumption, by buying items that I really need and looking at price for value.

in my case I have 3 months of travel so I only have 1 backpack and coats with me, however my wardrobe in Mexico consists of around 500 pieces including clothes, footwear and accessories, added around 40 pieces per year and took donations around of 15 pieces, this collection began in 2005, my consumption behavior has decreased since about 8 years to date I prefer quality than quantity, I am not very interested in fast fashion unless it is a limited edition collection and believe me I kept it and I use it like any other luxury garment, what I use the most are the black colors, I feel infinitely well wearing Versace I love all its legacy ... Alfredo Martínez I admire him a lot and I love wearing his clothes, I love to enjoy my shoes and definitely my line of robes is something very special to wear all day at home, as for the most expensive items match my leather goods ... a DKNY jacket, an LV wallet, my Prada shoes and cell ....

Ness's Wardrobe..

blessness — 2018-05-03 02:17:57 UTC

I have approx 100 pieces in my wardrobe. Many pieces I have had for over ten years.
A large percentage of my wardrobe is dresses in a variety of sizes, and from a variety of stores. I'm a girly girl and love a good patterned or lace dress.
Most of my items are from New Zealand stores, whether they be designer stores or fast fashion chains, but I still love most of them and look after them when I can.
I have been on a bit of a journey, so I haven't bought anything new in a year, and am struggling a little bit with the changing seasons, but there is always something to put on :-)
Most of my wardrobe is 'Made in China' - which I guess has a lot to do with the economies of scale for NZ retailers, they are limited by which factories they can use.

My nightmare!

mbardotti — 2018-05-03 05:03:17 UTC

I have loads of clothes...workingin the industry doens't help! This is only 1 angle of the room, then I have even shoes (100 pairs maybe?), drowings and another row of hangers...I accumulated everything along the years.... what I wear? Probably only the 0.5% of all this messy caos!!! and alwyas the same 5-10 pcs and the same 3 pairs of shoes! I checked some of the origins of my clothes and they all have differente c/o, even thou I know majority has the Made in China lable! Shoes mostly are Made in Italy or Spain... Most part of the messy caos is about fast fashion, where quality is not a strong point. Those items I have been having for really longer time , have a high quality (and therefore longer life cycle) are all branded!
Each year, I can probably buy 5 - 8 new items...all because fast fashion input, not because I need them! At the end of the day, I do not need most part of them.

Wardobe in transition!

cakeymcdoodle — 2018-05-03 05:28:04 UTC

I have no photo and have not counted pieces. I had a well-curated wardrobe 3 years ago but maternity clothes, breastfeeding clothes and changes to body shape have resulted in a jumbled mess. Now that I am almost back to normal, I am wearing mainly dresses, as they fit best and are most comfortable for a pear-shaped figure. They are handmade or secondhand. The most expensive item was a coat at £200 previously, and right now it’s my raincoat (which doubles as hiking or snow wear and is extremely good quality.

I am most emotional about clothes I have had fun with other people in - wedding dress, party clothes, summer shorts!

I have well over 200 items,winter,summer, in-between season, sports (all sports!) city, country and godknowswhatelse. I am so lucky I have not changed size nor shape for the past 30 years, and have inherited some gorgeous items from my mother and grandmother. Yes, I have thus accumulated and still, sometime surrender to the urge of buying something oh so nice, which I then wear very few times. and yes, I think I wear 20 % of my wardrobe. The most expensive item in my wardrobe must be one (or more) of my grandmother's bags: many vintage Gucci which are still gorgeous after 30 years of care and little wear. In the past 2 years I have discovered Schwopping, lovely nights spent swapping clothes with girlfriends - it is fun and guiltfree! Choose your friends carefully! :)

My Wardrobe

maru_a — 2018-05-03 09:55:57 UTC

In total there are around 150 items not counting lounge wear, lingerie, bags, shoes and accessories.

For the past year and a half I bought up to 10 new items and up to 5 vintage/ second hand items.

Removed around twice more.

The most expensive are jackets and evening dresses. .

The most precious are expensive and quality items, vintage, items from my family or clothes that bring memories (travelling, parties etc).

I usually get a few things from my mum, who shops vintage/ second hand or I buy on sales. Recently I try to invest more in just a few "uniform" staples to simplify my wardrobe and natural fabrics, but I still have a long way to go!

My wardrobe

2018-05-03 11:32:58 UTC

Around 200 pieces. Mostly basic garments. Suits, shirts, sweaters, t-shirts etc...
Most expensive is probably one of the suits - around 500$.

Project 333 wardrobe

2018-05-03 13:09:57 UTC

This experience has been fascinating. Already a project 333 devotee, i thought i had a minimal wardrobe but noting when i brought items has helped put that in context and show me that I've purchased more (but better) in recent years. I have 33 items in my wardrobe (which i rotate with stored items when the seasons change). i have 4 items purchased pre 2010, 6 from 2014 (the year i got a new job and became single after a long relationship) and 5 items this year (only ethical, sustainable or vintage and an attempt to invest in more long-term staple items), with only 1 or 2 purchased during the other years. my most expensive item was likely my italian leather boots which I have had re-heeled to increase their usage. i don't really hold emotional attachment to clothes but i do love a blue dress i wore on one of my first dates with my boyfriend that i now bring out on special occasions. this picture was my winter wardrobe - hoping my spring/summer has more colour! i will think now more carefully each time i choose to add an item to the wardrobe, thinking about not only the makers of the clothing but also the process and environmental cost of the fabrics.

I did some serious ethnographic research to my wardrobe three years ago. Then I had 86 pieces of clothing(excluding underware). During four months of "research" I only used 16 pieces out of those 86 . Nowadays my wardrobe includes about 40 pieces.

My 180 pieces wardrobe

yamereis — 2018-05-03 14:24:36 UTC

I have over 180 pieces items which I do not wear all of them , due to I got some weights or they are a bit old and not suitable for all occasions. The older item I've bought in 1991 in a vintage Berlin store , other special ones I bought until 2004 in travels around the world. Some others are from past and special catwalks collections of my own. Most of the pieces I have were bought in the last 5 years although they are not good values. In my new mindset I'll rent or buy new stuff from special vintage stores and use the ones I have until the very end of the life cycle tryng to give it other functions when it is over to be used.

My UNnecessary wardrobe

andrew93_4 — 2018-05-03 18:05:25 UTC

Just now I am of change, but doing a rapid inventory, I will have more than 200 pieces, something that does not fill with pride me, since I think that so many clothes are not necessary. It is true that I donate many clothes, which great is of years ago or inherited. With the years I have learned that it is a better the quality than the quantity, but nonetheless my economy does not allow me in buying articles of more than 150 Euros. The clothes that more I use are the comfortables and 24/7. I like to invest my money in designers' pieces, or pieces that move away from the fast fashion, since it is an article vintage. The pieces that I conserve with more fondness and that have more sentimental value are those that I buy in my trips and that are handcrafted.

My Evolving Wardrobe

2018-05-03 18:27:44 UTC

I currently live between two cities, and am moving twice this coming year between two continents with very different climates. My closet evolves each time I move, with about 20 core pieces such as jeans, trainers, skirts, and basic t-shirts. Total I have around 80 pieces I think. I add 10 or so new items a year, depending on where I am living and my needs for that city/lifestyle. I send the ones I replace to textile recycling or give to friends. The most expensive item is a pair of 70usd jeans, as I buy most clothes second hand.

Each day I think we don't need a lot of clothes and I have the objective of buying only essential garments. So each year I buy less pieces. In ten months I have bought 5 garments. Also I have many clothes I bought at least three years ago or more.

2018-05-03 18:33:28 UTC

However, sometimes I throw away clothes because of their low quality although they fit me yet. I think quality in fast fashion should be improved

My wardrope

2018-05-03 18:55:41 UTC

I have over 180 pieces of clothing (excluding underwear and pajamas). When I was younger, I would buy so many new pieces each year, mostly influenced by new trends and fast fashion. In the last couple of years, I have changed my approach on shopping. I try to think carefully before I buy anything, be less of a victim of fast fashion and prefer quantity over quality. Now I buy around 10-15 new items each year (I'm still on my teenage years, so my style isn't settled and I am ashamed of many pieces I bought just 2 years ago). Moreover, I donate over 15 pieces each year and I wear around 90% of my wardrobe. My most expensive piece of clothing is dress, which I adore because it reminds me of an amazing trip in Italy.

My adult life in clothes

2018-05-03 19:05:22 UTC

I have about 150 pieces or so (about 20% of it sleepwear because if I’m home, I’m in a T-shirt and pajama bottoms). The vast majority of it was acquired 10 years ago or more—a mix of new, used, upcycled, homemade, handed down or swapped.
I wear a lot of it although some specialty or vintage items don’t see a lot of action. Some I am deliberately saving for when predecessors wear out.
My faves that have stood the test of time are mainly vintage pieces that were homemade by someone anonymously awesome. Many of those I have owned (and worn regularly) for nearly 20 years —and who knows how long they’d been around before that. One beloved minidress I have seasonally been wearing for over 25 years (not to date me) was given to me by my mother who used to wear it in the late 60s, early 70s. It’s still just great due to that insane, indestructible polyester they used back then.
I do have some “vintage” H&M and Zara items that are 15 years old and are still, amazingly enough, in good shape. In the late noughts when the quality got really bad, I stopped buying fast fashion unless desperate for one reason or another (like when pregnant in sweltering heat).
In the past year I’ve bought 3 pairs of shoes to replace 3 pairs of shoes—all over 10 years old. I’ve bought 2 new cardigans, replacing one over 15 years old. I’ve made 2 pairs of pants and knitted one sweater. I also bought one used dress which I altered into a skirt. My mother gave me two T-shirts that she didn’t want. The year before that, there was even less movement in or out. I think I made 2 items, got a free t from an event and bought some socks.
My most expensive item is a wool coat I bought in 2006. It’s still in use.
It’s funny to imagine the teenage me in some of the clothes i still wear today. The longer you use something, the more it represents you at various stages of life, so it’s natural to attach sentiment to it. Buy quality and care for it, and it’ll last long enough for you to feel that way!

My wardrobe

2018-05-03 21:34:48 UTC

I have got around 100 pieces whitout count underwear and shoes.
I don't buy many clothes just the necesary and basics, but the items i wear the most are jeans I love them , I buy choltes when

some garment has been damaged or I really need .
most of the pieces have got 5 years, the most emocional value are my jeans almost every day I wear them, they are confortable and really match whit everything for me .
when something does not fit i give to someone who needs it, because in my country there is not a charity shops.

My Little Wardrobe

2018-05-03 22:09:00 UTC

I don't have a lot of clothes, I prefer garments with higher quality, I will have about 80 pieces. What I use most are skirts, I feel comfortable and feel very good, although I use many jeans and shirts for the day to day.Usually buy me a garment every 3 months and every time I do not wear a garment for a long period of time usually give to friends or family.A suede jacket with fringes (€120), usually try to buy on sale this type of clothes more expensive. No doubt a counterfeit of a bag of chanel, I hate counterfeits, but whenever we passed the store told my grandfather to joke that I bought it and a day at the beach I spend a joke. I always take it with me

amywilliams_studio — 2018-05-03 23:01:31 UTC

My transitional wardrobe...
Currently moving from a big city suburbs to the country, the coast to the mountains...from teaching career to consulting career...I have pared the closet down drastically. I have found that the pieces of value are being worn less frequently but the pieces of high function are in constant rotation. That said, I have added few garments in the last 8 years, bringing in accessories to update what already has lived in the closet (and been well worn). Around 200 pieces total but that includes the design pieces carefully purchased through the last 3 decades, the evening pieces and my own design work samples! The palette is simple!
Therefore very consistently wearable.

2018-05-04 01:26:38 UTC

I have more or less 90 garments in my wardrobe.I keep some special clothes like my wedding dress, some items of my mother or grandma, and meaningfull items because they have stories connected with importante momentos of my life.The other half are daily clothes from Zara, HyM and that kind of garments.I used to separate some clothes for some friends or people that need it, one or two times each year.I think that maybe I consume a little more now than 20 years ago but the clothes in Argentina are very expensive so there is a carefull attitude in general in that sense.

My Wardrobe

pattyannester — 2018-05-04 05:46:00 UTC

I have about 130 pieces in total. However, excluding exercise gear, sleepwear, socks, tights, undergarments, and shoes my main wardrobe consists of about 85 pieces that I wear for work and weekends. I tend to buy about 10 pieces a year to replace older clothing, though there is a trend that every seven to eight years I will spend more on clothing and replace a lot of older clothes. 2017 and 2010 were big years. In 2018 I bought 2 items and replaced a pair of shoes. 2017 I bought 18 items. Of my remaining wardrobe I have items that date as follows:
2016-9
2015-12
2014-6
2013-6
2012-2
2011-5
2012-2
2009-1
2005-1
2003-1
1987-1
1984-1
I tend to go for classic styles, One of my most prized pieces is a black drop waisted dress I bought in 1987. I still wear it. It can be dressed up or down. I also have a jean jacket that I wear on occasion from high school in 1984! I tend to shop at Hobbs, Principles, Whistles, Cos and my local sailing dinghy shop for stripped shirts (I also have an amazing canvas yellow jacket from there). I buy most of my clothing on sale because I can't afford normal prices and I want quality that will last. The good clothing will stand the test of time for a few years, at least. I tend not to buy less expensive lines because the clothes don't last and rarely fit well, so don't feel nice. I have to be comfortable otherwise I won't wear clothes and it's a waste. I've learnt this the hard way. My other most prized possession is my black winter coat. I bought it in 2010 at an amazing bargain. I give away old clothes unless they are really warn out, in which case they become rags.

kristina_demchyshyna — 2018-05-04 08:53:21 UTC

I am really focused on buying high quality goods to have them last longer, but from now on I am even more interested in those to be made on sustainable basis.
My personal wardrobe is not very big up to 100 pieces total. I don't like to have things dusting on shelves.
Garments, I am not wearing for some period of time , I prefer to offer to my close friends and relatives or donate to some charity organizations. Sometimes I get new stuff from some of them.
I have a classic wool blend coat from Mango, which I own for more than 10 years for now. I also have a Coach cross body bag, which serves me in spring/summer seasons for more than 10 years even. My last purchases where in September 2017 (5 items).

My wardrobe from the south of Brazil

2018-05-04 14:37:49 UTC

I share my wardrobe with my boyfriend and we really share our clothes, at least shirts, coats, socks and accessories. From what’s mine, I counted 82 pieces, including clothes, shoes, my ecobags, hats, belts and swimwear (I just didn’t count underwear, socks and pajamas). Out of these pieces, only 21 I got NEW, the other 61 are second hand, some are decades old, like a sweater from the 80’s I got from my dad.

Most of my current clothes I got in the last five years because I donated a lot of my old clothes in the last two. I have one Converse All Star since 2010 and still use it, I have a cardigan from 2012 that I still use as well. The most expensive item is a leather shoe I got two years ago and it cost R$299, which is like $85. I bought a recycled leather sandal earlier this year and along with a hat these were the only two new pieces I got this year, besides about five pieces that my friends didn’t want anymore and sold me for like a dollar each. Overall, I was surprised that I have almost a hundred pieces of clothes, but I was very happy that like 80% of them I am reusing from their older owner.

my ethnographic

lucialopp — 2018-05-04 16:52:40 UTC

I have 25 intensive wear garments, 56 medium-wear garments and 12 garments that I haven't used in a year. The number of garments has been maintained for years. Since 2005 I buy an average of 3 garments a year +-. As I moved from my parents' house 9 years ago, I left a lot of clothes there. My oldest clothes are from 2006, but I have several garments that belonged to my grandmother from 1960, 1970, 1980. Those are the clothes that I value most, along with others with whom I lived beautiful moments, for example my summer hoody. I also use several of my boyfriend's clothes, because of the love boyfriend look and oversized. My most expensive garment is a cover of Free people.

Kristina's wardrobe raid

2018-05-04 19:59:40 UTC

Number of pieces: 150 (all seasons and all garment categories, shoes and bags included!)

Location: Estonia, Europe

I think I have got quite good result for this task! Roughly half of my wardrobe is clothing (things I wear for work and for leisure) and the other half minor stuff like socks, underwear, sportswear, hats, mittens and so on. I have recently done closet clean up with the help of Marie Kondo's seminal book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying. I definitely would like to use her principal idea 'if it doesn't spark joy in you let it go' when deciding over what kind of things I like to have around.

As a result my wardrobe is quite basic. If I had to describe it in a sentence it would be 'two striped sweaters and two pair of jeans'. I love to wear quality knitwear and a pair of good shoes.

I think most expensive item in my wardrobe costed around 300€. It's a babywearing winter jacket that can be worn during pregnancy, with or without a baby (by detaching the front panel). It served me so well that I didn't need to use a pram during the first year or so. I have used the jacket three seasons in row and I hope the good memories and compliments I have received during babywearing times will extend the period until it physically wears out.

For me the timeline analysis was bit hard task to do. I can estimate that for past two or three years I been adding 20-30 new items per year which include all garment categories. As someone stated before I can see that adding and removing items in the wardrobe comes in cycles - depending on the life stage, changes in position or in body shape, changing fashion needs etc. I hope to keep track on the buys and discards and see what my fashion consumption really looks like at the end of the year!

AntoF wardrobe 😮

2018-05-04 20:22:09 UTC

My wardrobe doesn't have more than 90 pieces.
In the last 3 years I bought an average of 3 to 5 garments per year. In these years, I have moved several times and I am always giving away my clothes because I need to travel light and a lot of them were in good condition.
I think I used more than 65% of my wardrobe frequently because it works for all seasons. The oldest garment that I have is a winter jacket that I bought 11 years ago and still is in good shape.

Penny's Wardrobe

2018-05-05 03:04:47 UTC

My wardrobe has approx. 123 items of clothing! But when I think about the items I wear most, they're classic pieces that I can 'mix-n-match', dress up and dress down (and of course the items that don't fly up in the Wellington winds!).
Over the last year i've realised how many items I have, and that they had already dressed me for each season. Therefore I haven't needed to buy anything new. My only purchases over the past 12 months have been new sport tops (which I justified because old ones became smelly...) and one set of winter PJs as my new flat is chilly.

my wardrobe

candiceleeb — 2018-05-05 07:34:44 UTC

I have about 100 items in my wardrobe, excluding shoes and handbags (about 15 pairs of shoes and 5 handbags). Most are monochrome and worn mix-and-match, with some colour and patterned pieces being the smallest amount.
I wear about 50% of my wardrobe and am currently culling it to better reflect my style. I'm not really into having 'fashion' items, preferring classics over any form of trend.
Every year I add less than I throw away/recycle/contribute to charity: about 3 pieces max.
The items I've invested in are my leather jacket and leather handbags.
As I live in China, the opportunity to get great clothing that is my style is minimal. I haven't added much to my wardrobe in the last 11 years, except for absolute essentials. I'm looking forward to moving from here at the end of the year so that I can have access to better quality design and good water to wash them in/take care of them.

I have approximately 200 pieces, excluding shoes and handbags. But I always wear the same pieces (about 25). In my wardrobe I still have clothes from when I was 15 years old and I find really difficult to get rid of them.

I suppose I purchase approximately 10/15 pieces per year and the most expensive is a leather jacket.

The most emotional piece is an handmade lace dress made by my aunt.

My wardrobe is full of items, some of which I have had since childhood. I wear about 20 percent of my clothes on a regular basis (my casual basics) and the rest occasionally. The items I know I will not wear again I usually give away to family or charities. Over the past 3 year, since becoming more aware about sustainability, my shopping has decreased (to only a couple of new quality pieces per year). The items that hold the greatest value are the ones I have had the longest and am still able to wear because of their fit, quality, and timeless style.

I have two closets in different places, as I moved out recently and left some of my clothes in my parent's house. The truth is that I own more than 200 pieces. In my actual home, that's in the north of Portugal, I only have the ones I love the most or the current season's clothing, because I don't have a lot of space to keep it. But in total, it's a lot lot of pieces. Much more than I need or even remember I have them. Nowadays, I try to buy only what I need or fall in love with, and give most value at pieces that I know where they were made, how, and in what conditions. Even if it means give a little more for a certain piece of clothing. I have a lot of pieces I bought like 5/6 years ago, though. Pieaces that mean something to me or that are still in good shape. Still, even though I buy much less now, I love shopping. So I try to balance and not buy something new every month, but maybe 3 to 3 months, and just a few pieces.

The items you wear the most are cotton shirts and jeans. I add and remove about 6 items a year. Most expensive item in my wardrobe are silk ties from European brand produce with silk fabric. the items hold the most emotional value ate the silk ties of International Silk Union conferences held every two years of which I took part from 1993 until 2003, when the last one was held on Como, Italy.

Wardrobe Audit 2018

issymummery — 2018-05-05 17:11:50 UTC

I have never had a lot of money to spend on clothes, so I am amazed to find that I have over 100 garments in my two wardrobes (spring/summer and autumn/winter) and a nearly another 100 garments in my chest of drawers and coat hooks. This includes nightwear, sportswear and swimwear, but not underwear or accessories such as scarves etc.

My excuse is that I am fashion designer, so I am naturally a hoarder of clothes! My oldest garment is actually only 14 years old, this is due to the fact I moved around a lot so would often give lots to charity while packing to move. Just imagine how many I would have had if I still had those! I still sometimes wish I had kept some of those older items as fashion is cyclical and so some would have come back into fashion!

As I work from home, the clothes I wear the majority of the time are pretty casual; jeans and a jumper (of which I have 18!) mostly. Generally, when I get something new I will wear it all the time and then get bored of it, so most casual stuff gets a lot of wear. At a guess I would say that only a 1/4 of my clothes have been worn in the last 6 months.

Some items were gifts, some were work samples, some were passed on to me and a couple were my late husband’s that I like to wear to remind me of him. Most of my clothes are from the high street and a lot from fast fashion brands so not of great quality unfortunately.

Sadly, I do have 5 items that have never been worn. Most of these are new, so I haven’t had the opportunity to wear them yet, but the others I shall endeavor to sell and learn from my mistakes! (I have to confess that I already have a pile of clothes to sell that I haven't included in these numbers, oops!) I have always passed on unwanted clothes to charity, clothing banks, store recycling schemes or onto family. I would never put clothing in the waste bin but I am aware that recycling is not the solution.

I have a big thing for dresses and have over 40 of them, and most of them are summery ones, so in the British climate they don't get out much! I also have 10 coats, and 8 jackets which seems like a lot, but most have particular functions and are necessary garments in our weather (excuses, excuses!). I only have 6 pairs of jeans which is below the average, and in fact I most wear one pair nearly all the time! These ethical jeans are the most expensive clothing I own yet cost per wear would be very low. I have 23 casual tops/t-shirts in my drawers (a lot of which seem to be striped) and I also have 25 going out/dressier tops too, so I will have to cut down on those!

I was surprised by how many items I estimate that I have only worn once or twice; 51 garments which about a ¼ of all my clothes! These are mainly dressier items worn to weddings, funerals or for going out. These seem to be the majority of what I have in my wardrobes, so I am looking at selling on some items on Depop. Some things I am considering adapting in some way to make them more likely to be worn. I have already done this with several items by dying, shortening or changing the fit.

Since the start of 2017 I took up the idea of slow fashion after blogging about it for some time. This meant being really conscious about what I am buying and I can see that has had a big effect. I have mainly bought second hand garments, a couple of high street essentials and a couple of ethical brand items in that time. In comparison to the previous year the number of garments I bought last year has halved.

I love the idea of having a minimalist capsule wardrobe of classic styles, which is effortlessly stylish and means you don't have to spend ages deciding what to wear. However, as a fashion designer I really need more variety than this. That said, I am trying to buy more classic items now and stay away from trends as these can look outdated very quickly.

The item that holds the most emotional value for me is probably a green floral dress that I bought when we lived in Sweden. I have a particular memory of wearing it the Midsommar celebrations and dancing around the maypole with my late husband and our son. I have worn it many times since and always makes me feel great and reminds me of happy times.

In the last few years I have been using the stylebook app on my phone to help organise my wardrobe and plan outfits. You take or download a picture of the garment and input all its details. It will then give you stats on how often you wear them, how many you have, cost per wear, outfit suggestions and what is most and least worn and much more. It also helps me to see what I need to complete outfits and so extend a garment’s wearability, rather than just impulse buying stuff that won’t get worn.

I would like to go into more detail on my wardrobe audit at some point (when I have more time) to see where most of the items are made and what fabrics they mainly are. This would give me a better idea of the social and environmental impact that my clothes shopping has had.

My Wardrobe - France

ichab38 — 2018-05-05 17:14:01 UTC

My wardrobe includes about 135 pieces (without pyjamas, socks and underwear) shirts, skirts, jackets, coats. I lived in a mountain region for quite a while and was travelling to sunny countries during the year. I also moved to 3 countries and I am travelling for work so I have to get a mix of different items depending on the climate, the culture…. In Iran for example, I had to wear a headscarf, long jacket and pairs of pants which are not slim fit or tight. Besides my mother sew many of my clothes and then repaired them, reshaped them overtime. My oldest pieces are 30 years for Hermès scarves (which I still wear) and I also have a couple of skirts and evening dresses which are 20 years old. Most of them were my mother’s creations. 70% of my wardrobe is more than 5 years old, 15% is more than 10 years old, 15% has been purchased over the last 2 years.

· Can you identify which items you wear the most?

A beige Burberry Trench coat and a navy blue Abercrombie & Fitch puffy jacket I purchased at least 10 years ago.

· What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

My most expensive items are a Burberry wool coat and a Max Mara dress.

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

Over the last 3 years I bought about 20 new pieces per year in average. Mostly good quality items and few more fast fashion tee-shirts or slim fit jeans. Now I buy less and will buy even less after this course. I try to mix and match new pieces with oldest one. Because I moved twice recently I donated many pieces to charity and friends. I used to work as a consultant and had lots of woman’s suits and jackets. At the time, I had many blazers with shoulder-pieces and large jackets which are not fashionable anymore.

Wardrobe analysis -Paris

2018-05-05 19:30:15 UTC

this exercise is a little tricky, because I moved to Paris in 2016 to study, therefore my wardrobe is not represented in full...

Anyway, the total number of pieces displayed is 33, ranging from 2010 to 2018. Purchase consumption is concentrated in 2 periods (>50%): 2012-2013 and 2016-2017 , which makes sense to what I was going through during this time. In the 1st period I was fully working in a management role, with stable income an plenty of social and work engagements; and the 2nd period is once I moved to Paris thus I bought missing items to complete my wardrobe brought from Chile.

Items I wear the most are jeans and a light jacket I bought here, kind of midseason item. But in general I wear most of the items according the season....keep in mind that I moved here recently, thus my wardrobe is not as complete as if I were in my home country....there the story would have been totally different.

In terms of the most expensive item in my wardrobe, it would be a wool coat from All Saints I bought in 2011 during a trip, it's a timeless military look piece and I really like it because it reminds of the great trip I made to Berlin (where I bought it).

There is also another item with a huge emotional value for me, a jacket I bought in Chile with a slightly trench coat inspiration (seems that military inspired looks are my thing....mhh). There is no specific reason to explain why I'm very attached to this item, but I really love the simple shape and vintage look it has, and even though its style when I wear it makes me look very feminine and elegant.

I try to buy as rationally as possible, especially living in Paris where everything is more expensive. Sadly, this means I tend to buy in fast fashion....but making an effort to buy good pieces and make them last.

*shoes and other complementary items are not considered in this analysis

I don't know how many clothes that I have because not all are at my place. I only truly ware just 30 of them.I will say that I have about 15 items per year and give a lot to charity of recycling as I quite often change size. The most expensive item that I have is a designer bag.

labrujamikaela — 2018-05-05 22:23:27 UTC

My wardrobe is composed of a 90% of black clothes, for I keep mi rocker spirit on. There are about 130 garments among autumn/winter and spring/summer seasons. I wear many long sleeve T-shirts, turtleneck T-shirts and long coats. I love autumn/winter wear.

I normally don’t tend to purchase a lot of clothes per year, except for when I travel. In my last trips to the UK I bought around 15 garments, between 2017 and 2018. I have lately been giving away more wear than I have actually been buying; I have cut my wardrobe down significantly in the past few years.

I have an Italian synthetic fur coat that belonged to my fiancé’s grandmother, that’s the most expensive one. I use to own some expensive clothes that have been given to me as gifts from family and relatives who don’t wear the anymore. I don’t tend to buy expensive clothes.

I hold much emotional value to wear I bought when I was about 16 years old (I’m 31 now). Those were inexpensive clothes, very beautiful and of good quality. And as my body hasn’t change that much I can still wear them. It’s no longer made clothe like that in my country, so I’m trying to implement a new “low cost” lifestyle.

My wardrobe - Finland

eeva_erkinjuntti — 2018-05-06 15:36:09 UTC

There are few points that dominate my wardrobe: 1. seasonal changes and 2. years working in fashion (I do not enjoy shopping as hoppy, as its work related)
As we have 4 different seasons a year here in Finland, this clearly makes my wardrobe bit larger and I have yearly rotation. Now is the time to pack the winter clothes and bring out the spring/summer clothes. For Fall I have bit different things, as usually it rains more during the fall time.
I also do sports year around both indoor and outdoor, this requires another set of clothes. Usually as these technical and bit more expensive, one uses them for years. I have been now buying more sustainable brands when it comes to outdoor clothing, as there is various different brands.

I attend to buy bit more expensive clothes, as I realised that if I buy a dress that is well made, with quality fabrics I will eventually use it more. So the average price of each garment is around 200-300€. I tend to buy garments with quality materials and timeless designs. I do like natural materials: wool, cashmere, silk, organic cotton, viscose, down.
As a shopper I'm bit old fashioned, I want to go to a store, touch and feel the material. Try the clothes on before buying. It might be also my age, as I'm soon 39 years old. I don't feel very comfortable ordering online, as I feel the experience in store is also a part of my shopping moment.
In work I usually wear formal clothing and on free time more casual. However as jackets need to be formal, many of my jackets are formal and I mix them with hoodies etc. to make them more casual.
Im lucky not to gain much weight so this is not creating need to buy new clothes. I do attend to loose weight but then the cloths are just bit more loose.
I love down jackets, this is a big dilemma - however, there are now more sustainable and ethical brands rising. I hope that one day I can wear a down jacket and not feel bad. In the cold conditions, down is just the best, warm and light filling material for jacket.
I do consider the brand and material when I buy new clothes. Also try to purchase brands that I know are more ethical and sustainable.

I have 250 pieces in my wardrobe, I change dresses everyday so, in one year, I wear almost all of them. I do not have a dress I use more. Every year I add and remove about 50 pieces, in theory I sould have a new wardrobe every 5 years but in reality there are some dresses I love and I have since much more time. I also have few dresses that don't fit any more but I keep them for sentimental reasons. The moste expensive dress is my bride dress, it is an Armani and it is also the one that has the most emotional value for me.

This is the account of my clothes. I have clothes for over 20 years and in the last 5 years I have committed myself not to buy more than 5 garments per year, including underwear.

cinznsp — 2018-05-06 23:08:15 UTC

This has been quite an experience and also happened at a perfect time for some spring cleaning. I counted about 400 pieces in my wardrobe, which have been accumulated over the last 20 years. Despite the intimidating number, as I like changing outfit every day, I tend to use the vast majority of my wardrobe pretty regularly, according to seasonality and till they are worn out; exception of course for very smart pieces, such as evening gowns, which I have worn only a couple of times. I also have a capsule wardrobe for seaside/very hot holidays, which I only use a handful of times a years when on holiday.
In answer to the specific questions:
1. The oldest piece in my wardrobe is a Barbour jacket which I owned since my teenage, hence it's probably 20+ years old.
2. The number of pieces I have added in recent years has definitely decreased. If 5 years ago I would have added about 30 new pieces, this years since the start of the year I only had one addition. I usually go through a cleaning process a couple of times a year and remove an average of 15 pieces every round.
3. The most expensive item I own is probably an Alberta Ferretti gown I bought for my sister wedding.
4. The gown that I worn as my sister wedding, it reminds me of one of my happiest days. The outfit I worn at the christening of my god daughter (about 12 years ago!). Finally, the skirt that I worn at my first work interview (also this one must have +12 years and I still wear it!).

Practicing minimalist helps me to declutter my wardrobe and I only buythose which are easily suitable with my wardrobe. I have about 50 items and mostof them are shirts and tees. I don't buy much clothes, I buy whenever I need to like now I just want to buy some little nice skirts for summer. I found 2hand clothes are interesting so I buy them sometimes. My oldest item maybe my jeans, that's looked like menswear but I love them. Moreover, I used to be a shoeholic, but now I'm only have 2 leather boots, 2 sneakers and 1 sandals. I am fine with using leather because I can keep them clean and at least, those cow wouldn't die in vain .

mcostasrada — 2018-05-07 16:46:40 UTC

Currently i have 130 hundred pieces in my wardrobe, only for the spring/summer and without including PJ's, underwear, socks, shoes, bags & accessories. The winter season I already stored it away but should be around 80 pieces including coats and jackets. I have also 10 party dresses stored.

I can't recall in wich year I bought each item but since 2017 I have reduced drastically my consumption and now I try to only buy when I really need something, even though sometimes i fail at it. The piece that i have had for the longest is my jeans jackets, it's a Levi's jacket that i bought at 15 and it cost me 90 €, which felt like a lot at the time, but is still perfec 15 years later. So at this point the cost per wear its like 0,1€ or less! The most expensive item in my wardrobe is my wedding dress, a vintage Courregès, wich is also the piece who holds the most emotional value, for obvious reasons.

Even if they're many pieces I usually wear all of them at least once per season. Before this task I had already selected the less weared items to sell on DePop as I don't really need so many clothes.

I only have one piece that i've never worn: an Opening Ceremony fringe dress wich is quite dramatic and I haven't found the moment to wear it...yet.

The pieces that I buy are perfectly in my style. During the winter I wear trousers + ankle boots + wool/cashmere sweaters or skirts + boots + wool or cashmere sweaters. During transition time i'm about trousers + silk blouses or t-shirts + ankle boots or flats and during summer i wear dresses + sandals or shorts + tops + sandals. I have very few syntetic items in my wardrobe, mainly the swimwear & some piece from when I was younger, as I only buy natural fibers.

lapypol — 2018-05-07 18:49:16 UTC

I usually buy clothes that I like and fit me well, beyond fashion trends. They are timeless, at least for me. I loved to buy vintage because the materials were much noble years ago, as I'm specialized in textiles I really appreciate this aspect of clothing. That's why I also wear clothes that belonged to my mother and even my grandmother. I recognise I also buy cheap clothes, I love to mix high quality pieces with not so valuable items. I couldn't say how many I have in my closet. I don't buy lots of pieces, but I make them last, both high and low quality. I'm very concious about the way I care for clothing.
I find it very difficult to remove clothing from my wardrobe. What I wear the most are jeans, dresses and leather boots.
My favorite items are those that belonged to family members, those made with the fabrics I designed and some bought while travelling, in that order.

Im going to just focus on shoes. I currently have 68 pairs of shoes. While a couple are beater dog park shoes the rest are made in Italy or limited edition sneakers. The rest of my wardrobe is more cyclical, meaning I purge regularly, but my shoes are like trophies. Im also harder on them so a little stain or a scratch and their resale value is killed, but they're still perfectly wearable. I could probably buy 20 more pairs with out feeling like Im doubling up on like styles. Each pair has unique detailing which makes one a better compliment to an outfit vs. another. I used to travel w about 5 pair for one week but now I try to do only 2. At home I would never wear the same pair twice in a week but when traveling they're just too heavy.

I will not be able to count my items. As you see I have several items on each hanger. I would expect there to be somewhere between 350-400pcs in my wardrobe.

Can you identify which items you wear the most? Even though I get free clothes at work I rarely wear them. I tend to wear my sportswear when I am not going out or working.
How many items per year do you add and remove? I add more than I remove. I do not buy more than perhaps 20 pcs including intimates and shoes. But I am probably given 20 pcs on top of that-which I then again rarely wear. I spend money on my sportswear because I wash and wear it so often.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? Probably a pair of shoes from Saint Laurent. 700 GBP. Wear them occasionally and I love them.
Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
My Japanese kimonos are important to me. They remind me of a time when craftsmanship and good quality fabrics was important. They also remind me of how special it is that I am located in Asia and have access to these, as I like to call it, finer things as a handcrafted Japanese kimono.

2018-05-08 07:20:09 UTC

I have ca 200 pieces of clothing (leaving out shoes, underwear, socks and accessoiries) counting summer and winter clothing from which ca 100 are from Marimekko, where I used to work. Over 80 pieces are dresses. When one works over ten years in a company that makes wonderful dresses one tends to collect quite a few:) I also own clothes from various sustainable brands like TAUKO an upcycling fashion brand also from Finland or other finnish designers which I have worked with. Otherwise I buy very few pieces. Mostly second hand luxury vintage, from the flea market or occasionally street wear.

I try at the moment not to buy anything I dont really need. I am now working on trimming down my closet and buying more useful pieces and only sustainable.

- I can identify with most of the pieces in my closet even though some I have gotten through work or as presents and just seem to hang in my closet never touched.
- I try to eliminate the not used pieces regularly. I give around 20 pieces away a year. I always try to find the right person to hand them to or try to sell them. I am not a big fan of clothing containers since I lived in Africa and have seen the mountains of container clothing sold at the markets, destroying local textiles businesses.

- My most expensive piece is a cashmere coat, it costed ca 800 €.
- The items that hold the most value are the vintage dresses from my grandmother and mother; as well as some of my unique Marimekko dresses. I also love handmade ethnical clothing that I have collected on my travels even though I wear them rarely.

Can you identify which items you wear the most?
I generally wear my coats and a lot of basics because you don't get tired of them.
How many items per year do you add and remove?
I haven't bought anything new in 1 year. I generally only remove items once they are are beyond repair and a re just not wearable anymore.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? A coat which was bought for about £600
Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I think the items which hold the most emotional value are the things I make myself because I know they are unique, not mass produced and a lot of time and effort has gone into making them.

I usually wear casual clothes, love to combine business,casual and sports...a bit athleisure lets say. Everyday at work i am in pants/jeans with a long cool colourful blazer.
Everyone goes through stage of style and trends and figuring out who you are and what represent you, so i have a lot of clother still that i do not wear anymore.
I find it very difficult to remove clothes from my closet even if i don't wear them. I know where i bought every piece. I love fashion and clothes, accessories, leather goods.
I probably wear 40% of my items in the closet.

Working in the fashion industry ahs changed my perception in terms of consuption and trends and i am trying to be more conscious and responsible.

I currently share some of my wardrobe with my daughter...and there are some sweaters and teeshirts elsewhere. The items I wear the most are my skinny jeans, white shirts both S/S and L/S, kimonos, my ‘organic unbleached cotton’ kaftan shirt, ponchos, a silk dog-toothprinted tunic. I used to buy around 30 items new each year, but now I buy half that due to having a conscience and paying more for items I value. The most expensive items are an Armani mohair coat which was around £700 and I have had this for 15 years..a classic, and still looks good, a pair of Prada wool tailored trousers at £450, had for 5 years now, some Prada boots...around £800 from memory..had around 5 years. I feel most emotionally attached to items that are tactile, comfy or have a particular print for example some Maxmara silk wide-leg trousers with a beautiful watercolour print - I feel feminine and elegant every time I wear them, a pair of wool flannel wide leg trousers from Nicole Fahri - have seen me through pre children years too, but a classic, timeless item I love as they are comfy and stylish and go with most things! I love my camel wool poncho from Joseph - it is SO soft and immediately cosy!

I live in Amsterdam. I share my wardrobe with my partner.
I counted 86 pieces of clothes excluding underwear, shoes and accessories. Mostly, I wear casual clothes. General everyday look is wearing jeans, blouse and sneakers. I do not remember per year how many items I add and remove. However, I like to shop at Other Stories and every time I shop there I bring a bag of old clothes and get 10% discount. It makes me feel better. Also I donate old clothes to KICI (independent clothing charity).
My most expensive item I have is a silk dress from Diane Von Furstenberg. I bought it secondhand.
Most emotional value has my army jacket I bought as a student at Urban outfitters. I love it for it's memories as well as timeless style and great quality.

I count around 150 pieces of clothing..might use around 50 pieces rather often. Yes I am convinced I can recycle around 50 pieces, and could do with a 75-100 pieces wardrobe. I use especially coloured jeans and blouses; in summer the t-shirts replace the blouses partly. I buy around 10 ítems a year and recycle around 5. A jackets cost me around 450€. I have emotional value for some shoes that were of the father of my partner. Then there are some nice pants I wear again after 8 years and losing more than 15 kilos.

· Can you identify which items you wear the most?
My jeans

· How many items per year do you add and remove?
These past 4 years around, I added 20items/year because I was working for a nice brand with every 3 months discount for the staff. Before, it was around 5 items / year. I remove very little quantity, around 5items / per year.
· What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
A coat
· Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I’m not necessarily emotionally attached. They are only stuff and I’m less and less a materialist person.

At the end, I have:
- +/- 310 garments all seasons and type together
- +/- 40 hand bags

- +/- 50 pairs of shoes all seasons together
I feel ashamed for the above figures. The only good point, I keep them for a long time. I never bought anything from the fast fashion. Only nice pieces, good quality for long term (more than 10 years for handbags and shoes)

I counted 60 items in my wardrobe - I have identified that I wear my jeans the most. - I have counted 5 new items in the past year. Im not sure what the most expensive item in my wardrobe is ... My black straight leg jeans are my favorite and most emotional as it was super hard to find a pair of jeans that were good quality even if it was more expensive - it was worth it because it was perfect fit and has lasted a long time!

In order to start this wardrobe analysis I must admit that it is impossible for me to count each garment that I own one by one. I am a lover of fashion and clothing. I made clothes since I was 10 years old, so many of the clothes are my own, and many others have been recycled that I made garments that I no longer like, or have given me.

Can you identify which items you use the most? My jeans
How many articles per year add and remove? These last 4 years, I added 50 items per year, since I work in a clothing window brand, in which I am given a uniform per season, in addition to a discount in the purchase for being personal. Before, I was just a university student, I did not work. At that time included between 5 and 10 articles a year. Until I started this course I eliminated very little amount, around 5 items per year. When sewing since I am very small, much of the clothing that I do not use recycled in the preparation of new garments, or use as a textile raw material to make works of art.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? A pair of rawhide boots.
Which items have the greatest emotional value and why? I really appreciate a sweater from a French brand, which has a stamp that simulates a bow, with the tromp leil technique. I'm also very fond of a feather coat that my aunt gave me, and that was when she was young.

Making an estimate, I estimate that I have around:
- +/- 500 garments of all seasons and write together
- +/- 30 handbags.
- +/- 50 pairs of shoes.

I have kept many coats, shirts and dresses that belonged to my grandmother or my aunt, which I refurbished.

The total number of articles of clothing that I possess is high if I compare it with the data that other colleagues have given. However, a large part of the closet inventory corresponds to pieces that have been inherited and that I care with great appreciation.

I've been really surprised of the number of pieces I own, about 250, excluding lingerie, swimwear, socks. This is the spring/ summer part, and there's another wardrobe with knitwear, coats and jackets, and shoes. Some are really old, more than 10 years: these are the most expensive and the highest quality pieces, still great to wear years later, the purchase I'm most satisfied about.
I don't invest the same money on jeans, t-shirts and shoes, because they are more subjected to trends, but I'm trying to eliminate fast fashion items from my purchase and also pay a premium to sustainable garments.
* Probably my boyfriend-cut jeans, my dad's watch, a true leather jacket and my white Superga canvas shoes are the items I use the most and combine with more featured ones (like the number of flower pattern trousers, dresses and shirts I own). Very often I wear at least one of these pieces.
*I add a few pieces per year - usually not expensive - that take place of similar items. Sometimes I make more important purchases, but this item will last much longer.
* The most expensive item is a Bottega Veneta "Roma" bag; I know that it will last for decades.
*The items with the highest emotional values are probably my grandma's rings - really love them.

Wardrobe - Melbourne

2018-05-09 11:32:47 UTC

All together I have around 150 items of clothing excluding underwear, socks and swimwear. I try to donate as much clothing as I can and usually this will be items that I have owned for a few years and know I wont wear again. I would say I add upwards of 15 items a year to my wardrobe but would donate an equal amount to charity shops.

Of my clothes, I definitely wear my staple pants and coats the most. I have a pair of black kick flares, a pair of straight leg work pants, a black woollen trench coat and a fury leopard print coat all of which I wear regularly.

My most expensive items are my shoes, I always like to spend more on shoes to get good quality for durability. I tend to spend less on clothes because I know I wont wear them as much due to owning more options. I also love vintage and thrift shopping for clothes which doesn't carry a high price tag in Melbourne.

I have a black coat with a fur neck which probably has the most emotional value due to it being my mums. She bought it from a large department store when she was younger and gave it to me a few years ago. Its always on trend because its a staple piece and I love it.

josegallegobaviera — 2018-05-09 12:21:19 UTC

My Wardrobe- Valencia

What I wear the most are my Jeans and long sleeve t-shirt during winter, and short sleeved during summer. Also I have two winter coats an two spring jackets that I wear or carry with me all the time.

Lately I may be removing one or two items per year from my wardrobe because they don't fit me any more so I give them to charity. I buy every year 4-5 pieces and it is usually on sales if I need anything, Whenever I buy, I try to buy good quality and basic clothing, C.O.S is a brand I have been lately into it very much.
The most expensive item I own is a coat from a Spanish brand called " Caramelo" I bought it 4 years ago for an special event and now I wear it almost everyday during Autumn and winter and it is still in very good quality.
Maybe the items I enjoy the most are shoes, I really like several shoes I have from the brand " Camper"

I may own around 200 Items in both seasons. A very good amount of this clothing are clothes that I inherited from my family and thus are quite old but still maintain good quality.
I don't think I tend to buy fashionable pieces, the very few things I might buy from fast fashion are basic t-shirts because I find it hard to find timeless good quality pieces with a reasonable price although it ends ups being a waste of money because the quality of this cheap t-shirts is utterly bad. I should do more research on basic sustainable clothing.

2018-05-10 08:01:34 UTC

I have too much pieces of clothing. I am living in Barcelona in winter, so I have half of my entire clothing here, but then I have also some clothes in my parents home, and also the one for summer.
Some times I review my wardrobe and I take clothes in order to give it to people that may need it more than me. I love shopping, I love at most handbags and shoes!
I used to wear fast-fashion clothes combining that with pret-a-porter and some luxury items such as the shoes, or the handbag. I couldn't know how many items exactly I have... But what I think is that I have too much and I should make a cleaning of it!!!

Just to add another piece in my empy wardrobe...

My Wardrobe - Paris

adrien_marek — 2018-05-10 17:25:29 UTC

I counted in my Parisian apartment around 90 pieces of clothing. They are in difference parts of my place so it wouldn't make sense to take a picture. I have more at my parents' that I almost don't use anymore.

I can clearly identify the items I wear the most: two pairs of black jeans, a dozen of simple t-shirts and a navy blue jacket.

I remove around fifteen pieces per year and I buy around the same number so that my wardrobe remains quite stable.

The most expensive item I have is an elegant navy blue technical gabardine De Fursac coat with a wool collar. I bought it when I was doing an internship in the finance industry so I don't wear it a lot anymore.

As for the pieces that hold the most emotional value, they are the navy blue jacket that I'm always wearing, a cardigan I bought seven years ago and that was my first real fashion piece of clothing and a shirt given to me by my partner.

This a portion of my wardrobe. All up I have around 120 items of clothing and 12 pairs of shoes. Most of my clothes have been given to me so I haven't bought anything new in about two years and many of the clothes I have bought I've had for many years. One item I wore the other day I realised I'd had for 20 years!

I share my wardrobe with my boyfriend, so to share picture would not give any information about my clothes, because all the clothes together.
I divided my clothes bu season, so now summer clothes are in the boxes under bed. I have work clothes and my free time clothes. Because I work in fashion industry I have lots of clothes given to me from different brands
I wear most chino trousers or jeans, T-shirts and jeans jacket.
I remove (donating or giving to other people) 3-5 clothes, and add the same amount. Usually I replacing the item.
The most expensive is cashmere 2 sweaters which ones be given to me from my boss. The most money what i pended on clothe it was a bit over 100€.
To be honest I dont have ant clothing that I would be emotional value. There is few that I cant throw but its not because they have emotional value.

MY CLOSET
Even though I believe my collection is very limited, I don't wear everything... I think that is a conclusion in itself :)

I don't have a wardrobe for different seasons (expect for a winter coat). I prefer layering - and keeping my items very basic - easy to combine, never getting bored of it. I realised too often that when I try something new, more trendy ... i don't wear it because I don't feel 'me' in it... so I always get back to my safe minimalist clothing style.

Can you identify which items you wear the most?

My cashmere sweaters and jeans.

How many items per year do you add and remove?

Still too many.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?

A winter coat from a local Dutch designer.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

Items that have a story (sustainable, locally designed, social impact)

limelsa — 2018-05-11 16:16:37 UTC

My Wardrobe - Lisbon

At this moment in my wardrobe I have around 80 pieces of clothing (winter/ spring) distributed by pants, skirts, shirts, wool and knitwear, dresses and coats, sweat and t-shirts. I have approximately the same amount stored in boxes and in another wardrobe that are for the next season (summer / fall ).

On average I make 3 to 4 purchases of clothes per year, not more. For many years I have been investing in quality with careful and differentiated design. I have very special pieces that, either by their debugging or by their detail, usually stand out, which is good, because I can advocate their sustainability when I’m asked “where they come from”.

For comfort, aesthetics and durability, the pieces that I most wear on a daily basis are Denims - jeans, skirts and denim jackets - and Knitwear – sweaters, pants, skirts, cardigans, dresses, love knitwear.

In fact I have been accumulating a lot of clothing and acessories over the years, I tend to save and later re-use so my wardrobe is "rotating", i.e. normally my wardrobe is changed at least 2 times per year. I open my boxes and make new choices and coordinations. This is a task that actually gives me a lot of enjoyment to do, and every time I do rotations not all pieces are replaced, sometimes I “jump” items and in later years (and if weight fluctuations allow it, so far so good) I use them again and usually because vintage is nice and coordination matters, the contrast works and they allways assume new perspectives. When I give up for some items ( and do not transform it) usually they go to sister, nieces, also already passed to my youngest daughter, and/or swop between friends, go to charity, 2nd hand stores.

The most expensive item of my wardrobe is a black cashmere wool overcoat.

Items with emotional value are some sweaters and coats knitted by the hands of relatives (or simply artisanal and done by skilfull hands) are very special to me; some pieces of author (dresses mainly) that mark special life moments; items purchased on trips I'v made are also special because the memories brought up; & love to keep using some items of my pregnancies, which with a sufficiently and smart ambiguous cut, fits well all times.

Wardrobe Ethnography

2018-05-11 20:00:16 UTC

My wardrobe is split between my flat in London and my parents' home. This in itself suggests that I have much more than I need, however it is positive in that it allows me to try out a smaller wardrobe and condense it to something that works for me by leaving things away from my London home. The thought of 'oh, I'd forgotten I had that' on looking at my wardrobe at my parents' is sometimes a welcome reminder and newfound pleasure in an item, but often a reminder that I clearly do not need all of my clothes!

I counted 54 items of clothes in my flat, plus 7 pairs of shoes, and several bags and accessories. For the past two to four years I have very actively tried to reduce my consumption, buying a handful of things a year from sources that I view to be more sustainable than the traditional fast fashion route.

Since getting a design job, I have had lots of opportunity to buy clothes from sample sales, and therefore have bought much more in the past year than previously. I believe that though the clothes may not be very sustainable, in buying them from a sample sale, I am not creating any demand for them, therefore satisfying my conscience. However, it does bring up questions of the additive nature of shopping and consumption when I find myself so keen and excited to shop given the guilt-free scenarios of sample sales.

My most valuable items tend to be older and associated with a particular memory or experiences. The most expensive is a pair of knee length boots that were a gift from my Aunt and Uncle.

simple_dimple — 2018-05-11 20:34:48 UTC

Wow! I literally have hundreds of articles of clothing, not including underpinnings, shoes, or accessories. OR my sari closet!!

This exercise would be just too daunting to undertake in it’s entirety, but it reinforces what I already knew:

1) I buy far more than I need. I am consumerist by nature, and need to change my buying habits, and

2) I need to set up shop and start selling some of my purchases. I have many things never worn with the tags still attached. I was already intending on opening a resell shop, and had set some items aside to sell, but it is clear that I need to be more aggressive with my approach.

3) My clothing runs the gamut from local and/or sustainable items, but as a curvaceous female I find it difficult to source even regular clothing, let alone sustainable. I have a lot of fast fashion, I am ashamed to say. I clearly need to so some more research into sustainable plus size brands. Or maybe I have just identified a hole in the market, and should start my own?

The attached photo is of SOME of the items I have set aside to sell....not even my regular closet! Yikes!!

Mine - London

2018-05-12 07:08:19 UTC

Can you identify which items you wear the most?
I wear the formal Jersey tops the most but they also wear thin the quickest.

How many items per year do you add and remove?
This year so far I've added 7 pieces to my wardrobe, and I donated about 40-50 items of clothing in November 2017.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? The mist expensive item in my wardrobe is an evening dress costing £50-60 and I absolutely love it.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I think I really love the dress I wore to my first ever wedding, and I'll treasure it and hopefully wear it to many more.

It's interesting to see that I only have 3 items of clothing from before my time in university... 2011. So from 2012 to 2016 I have kept 9 items.
And from 2017 - present I've purchased 13 items.
These stats show me that I personally slowly recycle older clothes, and buy current trends to replace them. I don't have any expensive investment pieces that I am overly attached to. Mine seem to be quick affordable.

My Wardrobe compilation

jacqlyn_chong — 2018-05-12 08:06:03 UTC

I literally have too many clothes. I collect clothes and shoes based on trends and this has caused me to buy impulsively. One of my guideline that I implemented last year was to only buy something I can wear at least 100 times and also it must match at least 3-5 items in my wardrobe.

I identify most with white t-shirts and black flare or wide pants as I can wear style it up or down with heels and sneakers.

I add at least 20 items inclusive of accessories to my wardrobe per year. Having worked in buying for a departmental store - I sometimes get free clothes.

My Celine bag is the most expensive item in my closet.

Save up for a pair of Gucci shoes and I have been eyeing for it for 6 months and I bought it.

My wardrobe in Laos (travelling around the world)

2018-05-12 09:19:46 UTC

Still travelling around the world I counted the clothes I have with me now: (It includes technical clothes for the cold.) 1 pull-over, 8 tee-shirts, 1 pyjama, 1 shirt, 4 pairs of trousers, 1 pair of shorts, 1 dress. I realized that I bought more than the half of these clothes for the trip before leaving and when I started travelling. I could have found more in my wardrobe back home. But thinking back I think I preferred to have new clothes for the trip. Also while looking at sustainable brands on the social medias, I realises that I love new designs and new clothes and that if I were not travelling I would have buy a lot new clothes. It's hard to change to slow fashion but I am improving everyday (and does not have the choice right now as I am carrying my clothes on my back!).

annelihallik — 2018-05-12 11:28:07 UTC

I have about 120 pieces of clothing, from which most of them are in regular use. When buying new clothes, I usually think of the ways to match them with the already existing ones. Even though most of the items are rather timeless, I also like to have a few stand out pieces which I quite often find from the vintage shops or make them myself.

I have some dresses that I have worn only once to special events. However, I’m reluctant to get rid of them as I tend to collect my memories into my clothes. Also, I’m planning to wear them again.

I don’t have expensive clothes, but most of the pieces are of good quality and as I take care of them with care, they stay in my wardrobe for quite a long time. I also design and make clothes myself, which understand better the complexity of work that goes into garment production and therefore truly appreciate the final garments.

UK - I have one wardrobe full of clothing and it includes everything - shoes, belts, gym clothes, jackets, work clothes etc. However, I never put clothes in the bin as I know how long they take to decompose. I either upcycle or recycle. I literally recycle everything I can and feel guilty if an item goes in the bin. Some items of clothing I have had since I was 15. Fashions always come back again so look after your clothes and repair them or upcycle them!

...in London

2018-05-12 15:11:28 UTC

I don´t have too many clothes, only 25% of the dressing room is mine, the rest is of my partner ...
I think i don´t have more than 60 items, not including shoes and other accessories.
Regarding questions;
Can you identify which items you wear the most?
Of course, those that are black, navy blue and gray, my preferred colors and in cotton.
How many items per year do you add and remove?
I add more or less 15 items and remove five.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
A coat from the Versace capsule collection for H & M in 2011.
Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I don´t give them emotional value, the one that I keep without discarding since then is that coat because it´s new, it´s timeless and it cost me 300 eur. I always think that I´ill thin the size that I have left over to use again (I only used it 2 times), next winter I'm sure I'll take it out of the closet again.

roel_hendrickx — 2018-05-12 20:35:52 UTC

I counted 146 items in the wardrobe of my Paris appartment. Highest in number are the socks, underwear and T-shirts. The average age is 6 years. As you can see in the histogram, the date of purchase seems to be log-normally distributed. I left out sports apparel and shoes because they are quite disparate. Of the overclothes, 16 items are made by myself or designed by me and made by my mother. My favourite items are those that fit well (because I have very difficult size), are comfortable and are my taste. The most expensive item is a pair of black Emporio Armani trousers, which I bought because it was the only pair which I found in my size and I liked the fabric too. I am very fond of the leather jacket which I made myself, and also of some items in which I had very nice experiences, such as a Rab technical jacket and my hiking trousers.

Yes, it's short denim dress and short black dress.
• How many items per year do you add and remove?
I remove 6 items and add 12 per year.
• What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
Leather jacket
• Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

I have around 180 garments in my wardrobe excluding underwear / swim / nightwear and shoes and accessories.
A lot of pieces I've had for years and were thrifted or vintage, most of my new items are my sportswear bits, was bought last year due to company discount at my last job.
My favourite piece is actually an accessory, my grandma's leather belt that she had since she was a teen.
My most expensive piece is a pair of shoes from Burberry which I treated myself to when my friend worked for them.
My most worn pieces are 2 pairs of trousers and 2 pairs of jeans which I have bought over the last two years.

martellidaria — 2018-05-13 14:24:46 UTC

This is only part of my
wardrobe, I also have another little one and where I keep my shoes.Also some clothes are still in my mum's house as I live in a little flat. My clothes are a mix of vintage pieces and some new. Within the vintage I have pieces that belong to my mum and auntie, some that I bought when I was 17, some comes from my travels. I work in fashion so a lot of my garments are protos or pieces from old collection. I also make my own clothes and I customized them. Nowadays I only buy pieces if they really catch my attention for some reason. Rarely I buy high street. I often give my clothes to my friends, family or charity shop. Everytime I buy less and keep what i have got for longer time. Vintage clothes are, despite their age in better condition then new pieces.
I tent to wear all pieces of my wardrobe even tough the more casual and the more comfy it is what I wear more. There are pieces that I don't wear so much but I am emotionally link to them and this is the reason why I keep them.

sarit5 — 2018-05-13 14:36:38 UTC

This is approx. half my wardrobe. Pictured here is dresses (formal, work, casual, party), tops (mostly formal/work, some casual, mostly short-sleeved), a few suits, and some blazers. Not pictured are my jeans, sweaters, workout clothing, shoes, and underwear. Overall I do have a lot of clothes but I'm getting better at not shopping needlessly. I find that living in smaller apartments also helps me keep my wardrobe under control.
Can you identify which items you wear the most?
I wear my blazers, jeans, and short-sleeved work tops the most. In addition to wearing them during the week M-F, I frequently wear them on weekends as well because that's the easiest way for me to look polished and ready for a night out. I have a few pairs of flats that I wear most frequently out of my shoes, and I rotate my workout clothes by week.
How many items per year do you add and remove?
I've cycled through quite a bit of clothing in the past few years unfortunately. I moved to a different climate and changed my work situation, and my body type changed (sadly). So I had to buy a lot of new things. However, each time I moved I tried to remove items from my wardrobe. Now, each time I add something I try to remove something to keep the overall number valued (my removals all go to charity/Goodwill- not the garbage). Also, for years I've been making an effort to buy as much second hand as possible- so when I buy "new" clothes, they are very rarely really new.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
I have a cape and a pair of boots that were approx. equal in price and the most expensive items in my wardrobe.
Which items hold the most emotional value and why?
I don't have any heirlooms or clothes with high emotional value in that sense. I have a few items that I love and wear the most, and I would say I'm most attached to those- specifically two pairs of jeans, a few silk button-down shirts, the pair of boots I mentioned above, and one pair of loafers.

Trying to go sustainable

2018-05-13 15:37:55 UTC

I have around 200 pieces in my wardrobe excluding essentials, nightwear, shoes and sportswear. It includes pieces collected over 20 years. I give away clothes I don't fit into and which can be worn by others. I wear about 60% of the pieces in my wardrobe -- others I hope to fit into or have to leave for occasions. Recently, I have tried to think about every purchase and only acquire pieces that are made sustainably and which I really need/want. I do not buy fast fashion anymore.

Can you identify which items you wear the most? >> My dresses -- I love them, and my casual daily wear clothes.
How many items per year do you add and remove? >> Apprx 5-10 per year are added and nearly as many removed.
What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? >> A Comme des Garcon skirt.
Which items hold the most emotional value and why? >> Clothes handed down from my mother, or somethings I bought for special occasions which I love.

fayeshilston — 2018-05-14 11:54:25 UTC

In my wardrobe I have around 100 pieces of clothing and 6 pairs of shoes.

Twice a year a get donate items I do not wear or do not fit to charity. Every 3 months or so I will purchase clothing for the office due to the corporate events I attend.

The most expensive item of clothing is my faux fur coat which is £90, which I hardly wear as it is too hot.

The most emotional item I have is jumper from University.

My Wardrobe

charly_lavigne — 2018-05-14 16:53:40 UTC

The number of garments that I have in my wardrobe of approximately 200 (Not counting the underwear).
1. Can you identify which items you use the most?
Of all the clothes I have, I only use 30% of all my clothes, which is considered normal due to the seasons of the year, since in winter I use more than 60% of the clothes, isolating the summer one.
2. How many articles per year add and remove?
I think I add about 20 pieces a year, I do not usually buy clothes if I do not even have enough money to throw it away or donate it to charity. The truth is a lot of the clothes that I have turned around, so it is very unlikely that I will wear it.
3. What is the most expensive item in your closet?
Possibly the tailoring.
4. Which items have the greatest emotional value and why?
Those with whom he lived important moments, like the clothes he wore in my graduations. But I usually discard clothes no matter how special.

My Wardrobe

saioa_amundarain_aranburu — 2018-05-14 17:45:46 UTC

I have approximately 150-200 pieces, not counting the underwear and shoes, neither the scarfs.
Can you identify which items you wear the most? The items I wear most are shirts jackets some coats and some skirts. I would say I use the 20% of the wardrobe. There is a big part of it that I never use it so I need to think in a second life to them.

More or less I will add 30-40 items the thing is that I do not remove them maybe 5-10 per year? but some years I guess even nothing.

The most expensive item in my wardrobe possible it's a coat and also some pairs of shoes, then goes a dress.

The items that hold the most emotional value are some special presents, some which are made by hand by my friends, as well as some special items that come from other cultures and countries that I visited.

My Wardrobe ethnography research

2018-05-14 18:24:55 UTC

It has been very hard for y to count all my clothes, because i have moved from my mom's house (and she has 1/2 of my clothes).
I approximately count 150 pieces in my house(than there're the one in my mom's house).
i havent count shoes, bags, hats, nightwear.

-Can you identify which items you wear the most? It depends on how i feel, but i would say a black dress that was of my mother, that she bought when she was young.
-How many items per year do you add and remove? i approximately add 10 items per years and remove maybe 3
-What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? I would say a stuart weitzman shoes, than a pailettes and wool jacket/ a wool light-blue coat, then a burberry coat and a dress.
-Which items hold the most emotional value and why? a dress that belonged to my grandmother when she was young(in the 60s)

My Wardrobe

2018-05-15 01:35:52 UTC

I'm a big fan of shirts, so for the tops I have, there are 60% of shirts, 30% of jumpers, and 10% of T-shirts. Others in my wardrobe are 20% of dresses, 40% of maxi -length trousers and skirts, 20% Coats and Jackets, 10% of rest of the bottoms and accessaries. Among all types of clothes, I wear wide-legged trousers and long dresses more often, because it is easy to move and comfortable for wearing all day long.
I tend to buy 1-3 pieces of clothing per month, so maximum is up to 36/y, yet the clothes I have are mainly easy to style and hard to be out of fashion, so actually I seldom throw them away.
The most expensive item in my wardrobe should be the only one fur coat I have.
This is a hard question to me, because mostly my clothes have
quite a certain amount of emotional value :) , when I pick the items, I won't have brand myth, I care about the quality of fabric, prints and patterns design and sewing techniques instead.

I have over 500 items in my closets. I have Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer and I switch over my closets. I try to buy well made “staple” items that will last many years.• Can you identify which items you wear the most?o Yes in winter I wear navy, grey and black pants – many are designer but not trendy styles• How many items per year do you add and remove?o I add about 100 and remove about the same• What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?o Excluding watches or luggage it would be a Prada leather jacket that I purchased over 15 years ago and it is still in style and in amazing shape.• Which items hold the most emotional value and why?o Probably a special cashmere sweater that I have had for years and was purchased in London. I think most of the luxury items I have purchased have been while traveling and that adds a more emotional value.

My wardrobe. This is part of my wardrobe.I would have 500 items or so including autumn/winter,spring/summer,shoes and bags. My habits have definitely chaged over the last 25years. When I was young at university I didn't have alot of money to spend on clothes and fast fashion as we know it today didn't really exist. I used to shop In second hand stores or op shops for two reasons ,economically and because I didn't want to dress like everyone else. Now I buy more items a year
however I am not a full victim of the fast fashion trend of buying new items every week or every month because I prefer to buy better quality that will last longer, even though I do have items I love from some of the fast fashion stores. Having worked as a product developer and fabric buyer I always look at where it was made and the composition.The items I wear the most are my jeans, I wear them nearly ever day and have about 10 pairs. The most expensive items would be my bags ,shoes or leather jackets. I still have and wear many vintage items. I have a beautiful cheongsam that I have worn to wedding over the last 20 years. and still have quite a few vintage items. The items that hold the most emotional value would be fur stoles that were my grandmothers.

My Wardrobe - Copenhagen/uk

2018-05-15 19:03:31 UTC

I counted my clothes rail at 41 garments however I have three wardrobes at my parents home, so in total I would say easily 400. On average i have bought the most in 2015 which doesn't surprise me and 2018 which is very bad as we are not even half way through however I bought a few things on moving to Copenhagen. Again I dont have access to my full wardrobe so hard to get accurate results.

However the most I wear is my white t-shirt, a pair of pin striped trousers, jeans, and one cream and one black jumper.
I feel like I remove around 30 and gain about the same. I have no idea of the most expensive item in my wardrobe as I have a few pairs of gifted designer shoes and have bought designer vintage clothes. I spent the most on a vintage coat for £120 which is so beautiful and the highest quality garment I have. I love them all. I value all of them.

Way too much!

Hamburg/Germany

This is my wardrobe and because I live in a beautiful small old loft it is built-in and there is no space to set up large closets. So I have to reduce myself:
LESS IS MORE

I often wear Basic Colors and Classics. In the year I buy about 10 new parts and sort out 5.
My most expensive and favorite turtleneck sweater costs 400 €. I got it asa present for Christmas . I feel comfortable and wear it the whole year over.

cecilia_cj — 2018-05-16 15:43:37 UTC

This is a part of my wardrobe on the photo. I have one like this in a separate room and the coats on a clothes rack. I own 150 pieces of clothing excluding the the laundry. Also 3 belts, 8 shoes/boots, 3 bags and 3 tote bags. also some pairs of socks, many undies and a few bras.
I mostly wear jeans, T-shirt, jumper or cardigan. In the summer it's usually a dress or skirt and top. And most of the time they are the same ones for years.Once I am attached to the fabric, pattern and cut it stays with me for years.
I add usually about 3-4 sometimes less sometimes a few more. I get rid of about double of it sometimes since I like space to breath.
My most expensive piece is a half silk and cotton trimmed nightie I think. Most of the clothes are hand-me-downs from my sisters so I don't buy many things.
Most valuable ones are those that

I got from family for Christmas or birthdays or bought while travelling. The dotted black shirt is about 15 years old and is still one of my favourite ones to wear.

2018-05-16 16:29:56 UTC

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.

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.
Can you identify which items you wear the most?

At the moment I am breastfeeding, so my outfit decisions are based on what is easy to feed from!

How many items per year do you add and remove?

Around 20. We live between two towns, which actually is helping me to give away more to friends and family, and buy less!

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.

Which items hold the most emotional value and why?

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

sophie108 — 2018-05-17 13:57:13 UTC

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!

The amount is around 50-60 items, basics that I can combine. I have been 'freeing' my wardrobe of all synthetics and filling it with sustainable items ( also the ones from my webshop ). My all-time favorite item is my Mom's gift, a sweater she handknitted of Alpaca wool 25 years ago, still beautiful. My most expensive item is a leather jacket, a gift I received from my husband, which I do not use anymore. All items that I do not plan to use, have been donated.

I currently have arond 110 pieces of clothing. What I bought this year is only sportswear-some items(5-6). Most of my clothes are either my mom's, received from friends or bought years ago. I do not really spend much on clothes, as I am a student abroad:) .

I wear the most my sport clothes at the gym and jeans with neutral t shirts or printed shirts.

I don t know how many pieces I add/remove, as I am still discovering my personal style.

My most expensive item is a blouse from a Danish sustainable brand, Sandermann.- not purchased by me :)
Purchased by me, Nike sportswear or a trench coat from Orsay

My favourite and beloved items are clothes that my mom and grandma wore when they were my age.

My Wardrobe: Vancouver, Canada

2018-05-20 00:44:43 UTC

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.

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 about 300 pieces in my closet. The sad thing is I probably wear only half of them.
The things that I love to wear the most are white v-neck t-shirts, jeans and sweatshirts.
I love doing shopping, I try to follow seasonal trends and buy the star pieces.

sylvie_princess — 2018-05-20 19:45:49 UTC

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.

143 pieces. I love my chino pants, actually I always use the navy & tobacco ones! Some pieces have been there more than 10 years. I used to buy a lot of garments on high street shops, but last year I decided to buy less but better quality, therefore my clothes consumption has decreased 40% last year. :) # proud of it!

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.

ayesha6 — 2018-05-23 14:26:58 UTC

I think I have 200 + items. My wardrobe is combination of craft based products to fast fashion items. Buying from flea markets to highstreet brands. I think the most expensive item I have is a coach bag. Recently I have started looking for sustainable brands. But somehow it doesn’t suit all the requirements.

celeste_j_bouchard — 2018-05-24 14:51:59 UTC

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 . :)

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.

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.

My wardrobe

2018-05-27 23:40:59 UTC

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.

Wardrobe Ethnographic Research

2018-05-28 09:01:03 UTC

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.

My wardrobe

2018-05-29 09:23:13 UTC

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.

My Wardrobe

2018-05-29 11:17:47 UTC

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.

I have too many pieces of clothing, like 200. The items that i wear the most are jeans, tshirts and skirts, i buy like 20 items per year and everything that i don't want to keep i sell it or give to other persons. The most expensive item in my closet is a pair of shoes that cost me 100 dolars. The items that holds an emotional value for me are all that were a gift from my grandmother that she used. +

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 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.

ngomezvarela — 2018-05-31 18:23:16 UTC

Can you identify which items you wear the most?

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.

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.

2018-06-02 00:33:46 UTC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Wardrobe

2018-06-08 16:25:47 UTC

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.

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...

renata_abeni — 2018-06-09 11:45:24 UTC

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.

letizia_rigazzi33 — 2018-06-12 13:52:38 UTC

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.

My wardrobe ethnography

2018-06-12 19:55:17 UTC

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!

I have way too many clothes... but really only a handfull of things i wear all the time, the rest are "special" occasion wear or dressy outfit add on's. Altogether I have about 150 items.

alexlf4 — 2018-06-13 17:59:07 UTC

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.

berezek — 2018-06-14 00:32:59 UTC

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..

My closet

2018-06-15 15:07:25 UTC

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.

Elena's closet ethnograpy

2018-06-17 12:57:33 UTC

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.

Kristina's wardrobe philosophy

kkovatcheva — 2018-06-19 15:06:23 UTC

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)

Wardrobe Ethnology

2018-06-20 22:45:05 UTC

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.

mansha_balecha — 2018-06-22 19:04:41 UTC

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.

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.

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.

jenna_hytti — 2018-07-03 19:15:44 UTC

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 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.

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...

My wardrobe

2018-08-25 17:35:20 UTC

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.

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!

My wardrobe Spanish in London

millares_marta — 2018-09-13 15:28:53 UTC

*****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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wardrobe, Amsterdam

2019-01-09 11:02:00 UTC

Current wardrobe, this does not include storage:

tops: 10
t-shirts: 15
trousers: 11
jeans: 3
dresses: 4
skirts: 3
cardigans: 4
sweaters: 13
coats: 7
workout clothes: 3
scarves: 10
gloves: 4
hats incl. beanies: 5
bags: 15
shoes: 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.

My wardrobe, Milan

2019-01-13 20:32:23 UTC

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..

My Wardrobe Ale, an Italian living in London

aleciarno — 2019-01-29 17:26:08 UTC

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.

Some of my Summer clothes, a fewsmart dresses and all my swimwear are in Italy.

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.

My wardrobe in London

2020-02-15 19:29:36 UTC

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.

ophelie_usannazjoris — 2020-03-21 12:00:04 UTC

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...

My wardrobe in Copenhagen.

2020-04-07 16:40:14 UTC

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

2020-04-09 16:20:08 UTC

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!

My wardrobe in Bologna.

anikogalmail — 2020-04-16 13:13:20 UTC

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.

My wardrobe in London.

2020-05-17 20:54:22 UTC

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.

My wardrobe—Melbourne, Australia

2020-09-14 00:58:36 UTC

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.

My wardrobe in Bogotá, Colombia.

caarangox — 2020-12-16 23:31:05 UTC

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.

2021-10-06 09:58:11 UTC

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.
