I'll start. Never wear them, own three. I blame styleforum for this.

I wear a suit six days a week.

I own 14 suits. 2 are summer suits that are too light for winter wear. I rotate through them very regularly, although not on a schedule.

This does not include my tuxedo or my scuba suit.

I don't actually own a scuba suit.

Twice a week. Own more than allowed by Style Forum.

Rarely. Once a year may be. I have 7 suits sitting in the closet. What a waste.

5 suits, 5 days a week. This is the least ridiculous I've ever felt answering a question like this in MC!

7 suits. Just took a job at a 'business casual' firm and will only rarely have any opportunity to wear them now.

5 suits (one is fashion-forward and not suited to work)

Tend to wear suits Mon-Thurs, on Fri a sports jacket or sweater combo - although if I am a halfday during the week then will not wear a suit on that day but wear on Fri.

2-3 suits, probably get worn about 10-15 times a year. I try to wear them as seperates occasionally just to get some usage out of them

I own 9 suits. I wear a suit 3-4 times a month, except during the warmer summer months when it drops to 1-2 times a month. Apparently I need to invest in some lighter weight or partially / unlined suits.

Only occasionally, so I only have one.

I have three dinner suits and two odd dinner jackets though. Thinking I might cut this number down a little.

11 suits, I don't were any of them anymore because of a change in job. I've also gained 25lbs recently (on purpose) so the BS may see a number of RLBL in 38R show up soon...

I own five suits. I haven't worn them recently because it's been so hot. Now when I put them on I feel odd because it has been so long since I've worn a jacket (probably since April). I'm sure I will get past that small insecurity soon. I can, but don't always, wear them 7 days a week.

I wear suits every weekday all day, so I figure 7 or so is minimum. I have about 10. A few are heavier flannel for winter and one is unlined and thin for summer, and one is cord, which is not for work.
