Who has more clothes, you are your spouse?

Rumors have always been that women have more clothes and shoes then they could wear and men had like a handful of clothes and two pairs of shoes. Well not anymore, my husband and I each have our own walk in closets and I only have about half of my closet space full of all the clothes I own (winter and summer) and 10 pairs of shoes. Now my husband on the hand has his closet (our closets are the same size)completely cram full of his clothes (winter and summer) plus he has even taken over our hall closet to have enough room for his clothes and all his shoes which is at least twice as many shoes as I have. We laugh together over this, and he says that this Spring when I have my yard sale he is going to get rid of a lot of his clothes, but I just say "We'll see Honey."....LOL. So tell me who in your family has the most clothes and/or shoes?

Wow, really! In our case, I have more clothes. Our walk in closet is 99% my clothes, my husband's is only 1%...he, he, he. I buy my clothes in a flea market (ukay-ukay), it's therefore cheap but quality. I discard at once those which I don't need and buy new ones. As for my husband, well he says he does not really need more clothes, so he has a modest collection in his cabinet. The same goes with shoes. My son even complains that we have more shoes than any other women he knows (this includes my daughter's shoes combined with mine since we have the same shoe size)

My hubby has more cloths too, but it's because of his mom and his job. His mother always buys him lots of clothes for christmas and birthdays, but he wears a uniform all week. He never wears them out, since he only uses them on weekends. His collection just grows. The only thing we buy is his t-shirts, socks, and underwear. Those he goes through regularly.

I think I am the one who has more clothes, and he was picking out other things that would look good on me LOL. I think I had different sets of clothes: casual, "bum" and dress clothes for work. He doesn't have the same categories of clothes haha. I do go through my clothes from time to time and donate them to like Goodwill or the Salvation Army.

My husband by far. He has so many shirts that many of them still have tags on them. I just bought two of those under the bed shoe organizers and filled them both with his shoes so I could get a bit more room in the closet. I have gotten rid of so many of them and he doesn't even notice.

We share one closet and since I moved in, I use 70 % of space of the closet. I have lots of clothes and shoes - that's why. He has some clothes too but he only wear those that he usually wears.

My hubby totally has more clothes than I do! I think that is a stereotype that is falling by the wayside. However, in his defense, I do steal his sweats to lounge around in, so maybe that sways things a bit.

Looking at our wardrobe, I see that my partner's clothes and the mines are of the same volume. In fact, it's clear that I have more clothes than he has, I think that women always need more clothes and shoes than men. But when I buy a pair of shoes, I always another for him, so his shoes must not be less than the mines.

I have fewer clothes and shoes than my husband because when we were both single I earn lower than him. He has greater salary until now and he has worked in abroad for more than a decade. I have lots of responsibilities and I support my sister's education in college so I never got the chance to buy lots of clothes. I only buy when I have excess. Now that we are married I still have fewer clothes but he tends to buy more for me than him. He said he has lots of clothes so he wants me to have more too. I most of the time object because I want him to prioritize our baby more than me but what he does is he buys stuff too for our baby. I do not care who has more clothes as long as we have clothes that is more important.

Well I have more clothes then my husband. He only has a hand ful of clothes. I think the shoes are about the same though about 3 or 4 pair each. Me and my husband also wear the same size. Some of my stuff like my tommy hillfigure and southpole clothes we share cause I bough them in the mens department any way and I am a tom boy so it's ok to share.

I'm not married or anything but I am currently living with my boyfriend. I actually ended up moving in right before he started dating but it was a ton of drama with my ex-fiance and being medically discharge from the marines and moving on from each other since we weren't on the same page and I ended up with the guy who I had been best friends with. But we do have separate rooms and both of my roommates are guys so just thinking of that situation I have more clothes than both of them combined. But then again, I do work at a retail store so half my paycheck goes towards clothes and I hate getting rid of clothes. I would probably say I have a good 70-80 tshirts feeling my college and every single colored flip flop old navy puts out whereas they have maybe 20 shirts hanging up and 2-3 pairs of shoes each. They always say with my closet I can open my own store. lol
