What are your personal wardrobe “cutoff numbers”? (How many shirts, button-downs, jeans, or dresses do you actually own/need?)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about wardrobe limits and how we decide what is "enough" versus what is redundant clutter. I recently upgraded my storage situation and it really forced me to look at my space and realize my perception of a normal wardrobe count might be completely warped.
I’d love to open up a discussion on what your personal formulas or "cutoff numbers" are for different clothing categories to see how everyone manages their inventory.
For regular shirts and tees, how many do you find you actually need to get through a normal laundry cycle without feeling restricted? I am trying to figure out a realistic baseline for basics.
When it comes to button-downs and blouses, where do you draw the line between a versatile rotation and just hoarding variations of the same style?
Dresses are another huge pain point for me. How many dresses is "too many" before they just sit there collecting dust, and do you have a strict limit for casual versus formal options?
I am also curious about your personal maximum numbers for categories like jeans, sweaters, and trousers before a category starts feeling overwhelming or physically impossible to store comfortably.
Whether you follow a strict capsule wardrobe number or just have a mental boundary for when a drawer is full, how do you decide how much of each thing to keep and what finally gets designated for the donation pile?
