How Much do you spend a year on clothes?

Metric · Gucci

I have never really sat down and thought about it actually. I try to budget but never stick to it. Maybe around $3000?

Since buying a new house and a new car my clothing expenditures have been significantly reduced.

Andrea Julia · Coach

Around $6000, but I cheap out in other areas to afford it.

theotherjess · Chanel

With my own $$, probably $1500. I guess I really don't think I spend too much, but $50 here and there sure adds up.

ETA: Just kidding...Not counting shoes and accessories, less than $1000.

lynnie · Chanel

hmm, just clothes...maybe $3000? i would say another $3000 for shoes/accessories.

bex · Chanel

i have no idea and really don't want to think about it.... b/c i know if i actually knew the answer to this question it would make me sick to know just how much i spend!

luckylily · Gucci

$3000 for me also. I budget $1,500 for fall/winter and $1,500 for spring/summer. I tend to spend a little less in spring/summer tho, so I just put any extra in savings. I'm probably going to go over this fall tho, I've lost some weight and a lot of my clothes from last year don't fit properly.

I'd have to agree w/bex - I have no clue, and really don't want to think about it. LOL I'm sure it's quite a bit, but sometimes what I don't know won't hurt me, esp. when it comes to MONEY (spent on clothes). LOL

tara t · Marc Jacobs

geez. i feel like i spend everything i make on clothes. and still have nothing to wear. honestly, i have no idea.

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I'm alone here. I spend probably less than $1,000 on shoes, clothes, and accessories combined!

Christine · Coach

Hmm, clothes alone, probably $2500-$3000. I always spend more on fall and winter clothes than I do on summer clothes. I think it's cos I always get an especially strong urge to shop right about now. (Although, admittedly, the more time I spend on this forum, the more I get these shopping urges, year-round!) So I probably spend about 2k in the fall and the rest on spring/summer stuff.

needsfashionadvice · Kate Spade

Same here Nunzi! If I spend over $1000, its probably because I need some big items (boots, coat, etc). I know I def. don't spend more than $1500 on everything combined all year.

hotcocoa · Kate Spade

i'd say around $2000 on clothes and another $2000 for shoes/bags etc.

jen · Kate Spade

Probably around 4,000 a year on clothes. I hate this game. I added up how much I'd save if I didn't get fake nails once and that just made me sick. Boo!

Ditto on this! I would be so mad at myself if I knew how much I actually spent cause I know that that money can be put to use elsewhere, like bills and such.

atlgirl · Gucci

Looking at our Quicken data from last year and this year, it looks like I spend about $2000 each year (give or take) - but that's on *everything*, including handbags and shoes. So...that's about $167 per month.

Heh. I'm more frugal than I thought I was! Yay!

erin · Chanel

less than 1000$ per year, definitely.

some months i don't even buy anything at all!
