About weekly, for me - though I'm a guy, which I think makes compliments rather rare.

Not that often from strangers. Fairly regularly from friends. More often if I wear something noticeable/weird. Two of them are consistent with complimenting new stuff I wear and it's flattering that they keep a fairly accurate mental catalogue of my wardrobe.

well if wondering if you're gay is a compliment, then boy...

people are always like "oh, look at me, my pants end where my legs end. Oh, and my suit sleeves don't cover my hands neither. And I'm wearing a tie, oh..."

I get the most compliments on my glasses from strangers, a couple of times a month maybe more if its at a bar with drunk girls who want to wear them leaving me blind.

Not that hard to get compliments from normal folks. You can copy the look of a model from BR or J. Crew and still would get praised by ordinary folks. But to get positive comments from the members here on the other hand.....lol.

Seems like shoes get the most attention for me. Friends will notice when something is new though.
