"Most people suspect they own too many clothes, but they aren’t sure exactly
what the “right amount” is. Recent wardrobe studies, in which researchers
literally peek inside peoples’ closets, show the scale of the problem is far
greater than most of us imagine.
Sixty years ago, the average person owned about 40 garments.
Today, that number has more than quadrupled, with a recent study revealing
these numbers continue to trend upwards. The typical wardrobe now contains an
average of 199 major pieces. Even more striking: 25%–50% of these items are
languishing in the back of drawers and rails."
