Buy better or wear more — the dilemma in sustainable fashion

In 2025 the average wardrobe contained about 199 pieces of clothing, a figure that has more than quadrupled over the last 60 years. So if we can agree that almost 200 items of clothing is probably too much for your average person, how many clothes are you allowed to own in a sustainable wardrobe?And is culling back the answer if you've already accumulated a few shelving units' worth of tees, jeans and dresses or is that just creating a different set of problems?
