Reading the title, you might be wondering: Why is it useful to keep statistics on the clothes you own?

Perhaps you’ll realise you have 40 t-shirts and 20 pairs of shoes and no gloves and suddenly you can plan much more easily. I count everything once a year and every time something needs replacing or gets thrown away (because it can no longer be sewn back together), I decrease the count by one. This way I know that I have, for some reason, nine beanies, enough to keep my head warm for many winters to come.

Always make sure you don’t buy more than you need and make sure to buy durable products that will last a long time. This also has the advantage of saving space in your home.
