Is Your Closet Full of Clothes You Never Wear?

Why Are So Many of Us Wearing Only a Fraction of Our Wardrobe?

How often do you find yourself reaching for the same few outfits while the rest of your closet sits untouched? You’re not alone. Our Closet Reflection survey shows a common trend—many of us own more clothes than we actually wear. Let’s take a closer look at our closet habits and their real impact on the planet.

The Hidden Impact of Overstuffed Closets on the Environment

70% of people admit to owning too many clothes, but they wear less than 60% of their wardrobe. Fast fashion drives this overconsumption, filling our closets and contributing to textile waste and pollution. Our survey revealed that people typically own between 51 to 100 items yet still add 1 to 10 new pieces every year. The cycle of overconsumption is real, and it’s time we break it.
