Women: 22 outfits they won't wear (or throw out)

By Daily Telegraph Reporter:

Britsh women hoard clothes worth £285 that they will never wear but refuse to throw out, the equivalent of 22 outfits each, according to research.

Impulse buys are blamed by 45 per cent of shoppers for their bulging wardrobe.

Jeans are a significant problem , with 88 percent owning at least one pair they would never wear, while 22 per cent hoard up to six pairs of shoes and 95 per cent tops that will never be worn.

More than half, 54 per cent said guilt over wasting money made them keep the clothes while 41 per cent were planning to lose weight.

Men hoard 19 items worth on average £248, according to the poll of 1,200 adults for the shopping channel QVC.

*This certainly tallies with my visits to see clients wardrobes. The only aspect that it doesn't cover is how much people hoard/cram into their wardrobes.
