when i feel like the new styles are ones i like more than what i have, or real good sales, or old stuff is getting worn out. so i voted a couple of times a year.

I go when I need more than one article of clothing. And this usually translates to 1 or 2 times a year where I actually do some serious spending.

My wife/mother-in-law drive me Fing nuts. They drive and hour just to go to some sh!thole that is the same as Wal-Mart. Women, in general, have serious issues with boredom. On occasion when the wife wants to go shopping, i ask her that if she is bored I can always find something for her to do.

Your poll is missing something:

*never. I have no fashion sense. Therefore my wife purchases all of my clothing for me. I don't even know my shoe size or size of my underwear. I'm frequently complimented for how I dress.


Put me down for that option.

When I was married I would go with my wife every month or so. Now that I'm single and dating I rarely go shopping for cloths.

These two months: once a week - but that's because I just moved cross country and didn't bring clothes and enough things, so if I'm out at Walmart or Target I drop by the mall and pick up t-shirts jeans etc.
Before that: once every two months? Not a routine shopper.

Less than once a year, because we all know if you shop for clothes more than twice a year, you're instantly a metrosexual.

A few times a year. I pick up t-shirts and stuff at Target more often than that though.

Depends on if I feel "inadequate" and feel the need for new clothes or not. I'm back to school and poor now so I go like once or twice until the next summer. Last year I only went once. During the summer, I go crazy shopping for new stuff. I bought new dress pants/slacks with two weeks left at work, knowing very well that once school started, they'd be sitting in the closet gathering dust.

Once a year. I know nothing about fashion or staying current with the times. All my jeans are the same cut, most of my shirts are more or less the same thing in different colors.

Boring is me.

I go once or twice a year: Christmas break and during the summer. But I voted for "I live nekkid..." because it fulfills my amusing poll response requirement. ;)

i buy in bulk and out of necessity usually, unless its a special occasion where i need nice clothes.

i'll go to costco and buy jeans, shorts, plain white t's, socks, boxers

then when i need nice clothes ill just buy as needed

i say 3-4 times a yr

I *rarely* go out shopping specifically for clothes unless it's a suit. Otherwise I just look at the clothes selection whenever I'm at Costco, and if they have something I like in my size I get it.

It is based on my needs really, when I go shopping for clothe I know exactly what I need and how much. SO yeah I have twice so far this year.
