Stitch Fix UK, which commissioned the research, said: “These findings highlight a real shift in consumer mindset when it comes to the way we shop. “It is clear people want a smarter, more considered approach to investing in clothing and style, and are seeking ways to make their wardrobes work harder, for longer.“Our expert stylists focus on selecting items tailored to your unique style, that work with your existing wardrobe - helping curate a selection of looks you love, that stand the test of time.”The study also found the average adult reckons a fifth (20%) of their clothes don’t even fit them.A further 65% confessed to having items in their wardrobe that have never even been worn, and even still have the labels on them.Despite a large portion of their wardrobe going unworn, those surveyed will complain about having nothing to wear on average six times a month.The study, conducted via OnePoll, also found one in three (32%) admit to getting into quarrels with their significant other or housemates over unworn clothes.As a result, over a third (39%) are looking to have a wardrobe refresh in 2022.Nearly half are considering buying fewer items of clothing in the future, but ones they can wear over and over.And 37% agreed owning less items - but things they really love - would reduce the stress of getting ready each day.Ashley Burghardt added: “While many of us often feel we have nothing to wear when it comes to getting dressed, there are some simple first steps everyone can take to unlock their wardrobe and make it more versatile.“First, locate the items you love and wear the most, and remove all of the unworn pieces.
