Unworn Clothes

I heard on a programme yesterday that most women have at least 20% of their wardrobe full of clothes that they have never worn, nor likely to. Frequently, brand new clothes with the labels still on them even.

They reckoned we tend to wear the same 80% of clothing over and over and totally ignore other things, yet still allow them to take up wardrobe space.

Have you got things you have never worn, yet still keep?

Silly isn't it. I wonder why we do that?

Re: Unworn Clothes

OMG I am so guilty of this! Usually impulsive sale shopping. The worst thing is if I buy something and end up having to give to the charity shop with the label still on. But sometimes I don't wear something for years and suddenly it's my favourite again. As I type I am wearing a next jumper that I found rummaging in the attic the other day. I bought it in 1988 or '87 and it looks much better now and amazing that the quality is such that it looks brand new.

It is silly, but I am a creature of habit and don't like to be out of my routines, even where clothes are concerned.

Re: Unworn Clothes

One of my NZ Granddaughters has at least ten pairs of high heel and totally impractical but "must have" shoes she has never worn . She will never part with them "just in case"!

Re: Unworn Clothes

I did have a quantity of clothes which before i got round to wear , i had moved up a couple of sizes, it was good quality coats as well , but i knew i was not going to get back to the size i was when i bought them ,so i did send them to Charity .Shoes also seem to suddenly be a size too small , I have one pair of high heel court shoes which im hanging onto, even though i doubt i will ever wear again because of foot problem .
