Whatever I talk about out loud comes up on my IPad. I've learned not to do that.

Personally .... I'm glad they didn't publish how much those of us over 54 spent on clothing!

Apparel industry worth $2.4 trillion
Women Age 16+ Spend on avg. $571 per year on clothes
Women Age 45 - 54 Spend $793 per year
Interestingly, they released no data for women over 54. 🤔
Average Woman's Wardrobe Value: $1000 - $2500
9% have more than $10,000 value
Men Age 16+ Spend $323 per year on clothing with men ages 45 - 54 spending the most.

@chrystaltree Likely a survey. This is not likely an empirical study.

I don't think this was a survey. The article said these figures were based on actual consumer data.

OK, got it. That would make it empirical. Still wondering why they left out the older age cohort though. Thanks @wilma .

You're welcome.
Not sure why the older age group was omitted, but I have heard & read that a lot of companies don't track spending after a certain age, because they are more interested in what younger more impressionable consumers are buying with their money. They adjust their marketing and advertising campaigns with those younger buyers in mind.
