The 80/20 Rule and My Wardrobe

I read that we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. I did not believe it!

I looked for data to support this claim, but I could not find any. So, I started tracking it for myself, on myself.

I itemized every article of clothes that I own into Excel and tracked its usage every single day. The articles and YouTube videos contain lots or more information.

To summarize… these are my cumulative 80/20 wardrobe results:
