How Often Do You Buy Clothes?

Ask a Question

I have to admit I do a lot of shopping, but these days I only buy things that are really, really cheap, and preferably from charity shops so I don’t feel that I’m wasting money (and the cheap items are usually better quality, so they last longer)

It depends on what discount/deals are available. Like last week nearly all the stores had leap year discounts. Its hard to say no when you see branded clothes with great savings 🤣 The last month ive had 4 Hollister hoodies, 2 tshirts, joggers & a long sleeve. A north face gilet, a gym king tshirt, gilet and coat for my son. Ive ordered some stuff from new look for my wife & i ordered my 3rd Vans tshirt today (ive got over 20 now but their my favourite as they dont have tags on the neckline). If im out and about i very rarelt but anything because i know i can get it cheaper online - unless its in a charity shop.

Since gaining lots of weight I no longer enjoy clothes shopping. So it's generally twice a year now summer and winter. However, I really enjoy buying clothes for my grandaughter, especially brands that I would never buy normally but are heavily discounted in sales.

Literally I rarely buy any clothes, I normally go shopping on my birthday with my mom who treats me to new clothes which is obviously only once a year 😂 I will only buy other clothes if I need them for something particular like work or holiday!

I only buy clothes when I actually need something. I buy baby clothes more than clothes for me and even then his clothes are second hand. I don't have the room for loads of clothes anyway

I buy clothes fairly often. I probably buy at least a couple of items a month. Nothing expensive I shop cheaply & take advantage of offers. I also often pick things up in charity shops. In my defense I do also sell / give to charity any items I no longer want fairly often too.

Me too! I’ve started looking around charity shops as you can get some really nice clothes. I tend to only shop on the high street in January and after my birthday. I am 40 but I still get birthday money lol 😂

I don't really but clothes unless I need to replace something. But if I see a good offer may buy something and put it away until I need it. Quite happy to browse charity shops too and had picked up some good buys.

Haha my husband would say I shop too often! In fact I would say weekly but that includes buying for him too.

Pretty much never. I get clothes for christmas and birthdays from family and that keeps me going. I hate clothes shopping. I've got enough clothes.

*sigh* whenever there's a sale on! I have a bit of a problem! Nah, I'm not that bad anymore - tend to be able to resist a lot more than I used to.

Mainly when I see a really good deal for my clothes or if they're falling to bits lol. If it's for someone else I'll try and find it at the best price I can before I get it

I don't do brand names far too expensive for such a tiny label!! I buy as needed, unless there's a good sale on. Recently got 2 winter jumpers, nightie and 4 summer tops in M & Co for £20 and a unworn wool M & S coat in charity shop sale for £3.99

I guess when you’re young, image is everything. I wish I never bought some of the things I did when I was younger, as some things cost way more than I’d be willing to pay now. Mind you, those items have lasted, and I do still wear sone of the items now and again, so you could say it was money well spent lol

Yes hand me downs are the way to go - good for the pockets, great for the planet, and you’re probably on trend with genuine retro clothing 😊
