Guilty as charged.

We love a good quirky survey that lets us learn how similar/different we are to other people.

So when we saw this one, we were just delighted that we weren't the only ones who are creatures of habit with our clothing choices.

A recent survey by OnePoll found that eight in 10 people wear the same few clothing items on loop.

Hey, it's good sustainable fashion!

2,000 people were polled in the research commissioned by Stitch Fix UK, a personal styling company.

It also found that the average person estimates they have more than £200 worth of outfits sitting in their wardrobe.

And just six per cent of those surveyed said they have worn everything in their wardrobe at least once.

59 per cent of respondents admitted to neglecting certain items because they get forgotten at the back of the wardrobe.

While 20 per cent keep certain items of clothing for sentimental reasons, despite not actually wearing them.

And apparently there's a thing called 'speed purchasing' which is a common issue.

31 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds said they bought stuff on a whim based on the latest trend, but then realised it actually didn’t suit them.
