The clothes I wear

Since 2021, after watching the The True Cost documentary (opens in a new tab), I've been tracking every piece of clothing in my wardrobe, logged in a spreadsheet: where it was made, what it's made of, which brand, and what it really cost. Awareness is the foundation for sustainability and improvement, and I guess mine started with a spreadsheet. Curious to know how many clothing items people actually own.

In October 2026 I completed all my basics. Tracking your spendings is a small way to take control of your finances, and/or in this case, your style. My 2027 actions that came out of this project are:

1. Stop buying clothes - committing to ‘one piece in, one piece out’
2. Learn to fix and make my own clothes
3. Save and invest more.
