how many items do you have in your wardrobe?

And how many per category of clothing (like pants, shirts, shoes)?

The trick is to refuse to buy new hangers. If you buy something and don't have a place for it, you have to get rid of something.

An acquaintance of mine had the opposite approach

well, the reverse is true as well. if you have an empty hangar, you must go shopping. thanks for listening to my TED talk. Actually, a series of closet pics might be interesting. It would at least motivate me to tidy my closet. 🙂

Yeah there aren’t really numbers to aim for here For me, I only buy stuff I really love and I’m super picky, so I don’t actually have that much clothing

I appreciate the organization here.

Yeah the purge is over, very little left to trim It was a big commitment to start and I've thought about doing socks and boxers, but it's easy as hell to maintain once you've done it I'm not ridic enough to track wears, but that's beyond what I want anyways. This is helpful if I ever need to invoke insurance.

i aggressively try to sell and clear things out that i dont wear i think i have roughly 60-70 individual higher end/designer/ garments i am not including workout clothes, socks, underwear i do actually want tot ake inventory again though maybe ill do that today
TidB
TidB•16mo ago
For another perspective on that (idk if anyone else can relate), my closet is too big and includes some stuff I don't really wear. It's at like 130-ish pieces (counting everything incl. accessories excl. underwear/socks), partially bc I'm still trying out stuff and sometimes wait out the seasons to see if I did wear some of the 'forgotten' pieces after all, and having some different aesthetics I sometimes haven't been able to merge yet, so fewer pieces shared between fits. Been working on that, getting generally things of better quality, fixing things to actually fit me, and incidentally made a similar list a few days ago (titled 'shame')
mewball

i think this happens quite often but ppl don't like to talk about it @tidb

Yeah, hoped to show other people they're not alone with this and hopefully encourage them to do something about it :)

Around 80, trying to offload about 7 other things. I’ve been tracking my spend manually for 7 years now and it’s fun for me to see where my money goes as I get older. My current categorization in clothes and accessories spreadsheet are: brand, product name, category, keep/sell, msrp, total paid, sold, length of ownership by year. The last category is to encourage me to find happiness with my existing wardrobe and find new ways to style old pieces instead of participating in hyperconsumption. I am averaging 2 years of ownership for my clothes before they’re rotated out and I am trying to extend this to many more years. Informs my decision to buy garments that can last longer, a personal capsule for myself as opposed to a general male fashion capsule wardrobe, and to get second hand if possible.

mewball•16mo ago
thankfully with my latest purge i don't have too many gym/workout only stuff got rid of a lot of my ratty old tees i still have prob 5 or so uniqlo tees that i also don't account for that i wear to like, sleep or casually or w/e yep hahahaha

I have a notion template that I built for my clothes which I am working on making user friendly so others can use it too

Man this thread is making me want to make myself a wardrobe spreadsheet
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
my favourite part is the "condition" bars so i can keep track of how much they have worn out and it makes me feel like i am in an RPG and this is my inventory
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
How many shoes and pants do y’all own? I have like 15 pairs of each
Gideo
Gideo•16mo ago
11 pants, 18 shoes. Fuckkkk I do not need this many shoes
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
It’s kinda crazy bc it looks like other people have a lot more clothes than me but I don’t think it’s true bc it’s confirmation bias
Miles Edgehog
Miles Edgehog•16mo ago

sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
Of course everything someone else has a bunch of stuff that I haven’t seen It’s not the same thing in my closet every day Occasionally Whne I’m reorganizing my closet or something
Sam I Am
Sam I Am•16mo ago
I have a fair number of shoes, but most of them are use-specific (hiking boots, running shoes, gym shoes...)
Miles Edgehog
Miles Edgehog•16mo ago
I have moccasins, sandals, 2pair sneakers, hiking boots and work boots
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
Yea I’m not counting hyper specific shoes like climbing shoes or basketball shoes but I’d consider running shoes in rotation
mewball

i have an app called stylebook that i use but i haent maintained it

Who dis?

This post has me sweatin'. A rough description would be: not a whole lot of t shirts, shirts and dress shirts. But a lot of jackets and bottoms like jeans and few joggers. Very small collection of footwear.
Bond
Bond•16mo ago
i also use stylebook
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
yeah im gonna update it today i think updating it is not nearly as bad as first onboarding
Bond
Bond•16mo ago
in 'style stats' it shows item count and total closet value which i didn't really need to know
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
yup lol
Bond
Bond•16mo ago
i'ma keep it to myself
Affluence
Affluence•16mo ago
I have "amount spent" and "item value"
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae•16mo ago
These are two very different things
Bond
Bond•16mo ago
how do you figure item value tho
Affluence
Affluence•16mo ago
one is what I tell my partner, the other is what I tell my insurance MSRP mainly or for super rare vintage stuff, how much it would cost to replace
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
i have "paid" and "market value" but obviously asterisk on market value rly depends on the item
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
Holy fuck my wardrobe is too big now I realize I need to pare it down
Sam I Am

i realized i have more pants than i thought i did, but not enough fall/winter stuff or workout clothing
sioku
sioku•16mo ago
i have so much lol i counted and i actually felt a bit of shame. but the good thing is that i wear everything pretty often so its not like they're being wasted
rej
rej•16mo ago
all of my button ups and a few jackets here. i have ~5 casual jackets that I cycle through. one rain coat, one overcoat 2 suits 3 pairs of jeans - light wash, dark wash, black 6-10 pairs casual pants - fatigues, white painters, olive chinos, khakis, sage green herringbone pants, brown and black cords, climbing pants, sweats maybe like 15-20 t shirts. mostly solid colors, a few graphic t's. 10-ish pairs of shoes ranging from converse to paraboots. also have some redwing work boots and dress shoes in brown and black this count leaves out clothes to lounge around the house and workout stuff

Too many tees is all I know I feel like it's easy for me to just think oh I can throw this tee on but any other garment makes you think harder about it
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
I feel like I have too many clothes and not enough at the same time but mainly it’s because I have too many items that can’t be used for multiple outfits and I have too many clothes for contexts that I barely ever encounter
BlueisPurple
BlueisPurple•16mo ago
I've only counted my pants recently but I'm at 42 pairs. This includes shorts and bathers. I do live in Canada so the seasons require more pants but I'm certainly on the higher end amongst even my fashion friends. I like having a large selection and find my style choices vary day to day so don't mind the higher than normal count.
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
Got my breakdown too
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
84 items total, was way off !! I kinda forgot I went on a recent huge spree loll
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
Just counted mine, I’m at 34 items total: • 6 Tops • 10 Sweaters / Hoodies • 8 Jackets / Coats • 4 Bottoms • 4 Shoes • The rest is miscellaneous
rej
rej•16mo ago
6 tops?? do you wash them every week?
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
Yeah I do laundry once a week Context to this is that before the pandemic, I travelled like 200ish days a year so basically my whole wardrobe was packable into a carry on Also context I got rid of 15 items last week so I did have more but culled some stuff I never wore / had got damaged over time
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
Do you consider t shirts as tops? Wait what happens if someone invites you to a beach bonfire or hike?
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
yes but only my nicer ones like dion lee or rick or fun vintage. i have some beater uniqlo tees for sleeping/working out and such not listed. wear a tee shirt (beater or "nicer" idrc) and jeans/shorts? i have hokas in the shoes but ive hiked in sneakers plenty anwyay yeah i maybe wouldn't wear the premium yohji to the hike and bonfire session but i wear my clothes like regular
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
What I’ve learned is in order to always have drip I need to get rid of my other clothes
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
also true
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
id wear these to hike or beach the pics are shitty bc theyre mine but the app is kinda nice to play around w hmm i think i might be missing a hoodie or two in this too
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
Did you make these in stylebook?? You’re selling me on it
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
i did lol. i forgot you could do this you can add inspo images and such as well its not perfect but its nice i might save some fits in here
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
kinda better than my Notion implementation
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
my main rec would be to use a different app to remove the backgrounds because the in app thing is annoying and not very good but its pretty decent overall
Bond
Bond•16mo ago
@mewball do you know how to change the main image for a category?
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
nope
khanstopme
khanstopme•16mo ago
using the ios photos app is the best at that now imo
mewball
mewball•16mo ago
yeah honestly that is perfect
sharloy
sharloy•16mo ago
I’m mostly just impressed that you own 11 vet items
