I shop a lot, but don't buy very often. I'm picky and a bargain shopper, so I'll look around for a while until I find the right piece for the right price.
This reminds me that I need to go shopping. All my clothes are so damn boring and I am the suck at accessorizing. I would love to be nominated for What Not to Wear if it were still on. I loved that show.
I don't buy stuff often. If my weight goes up, I end up having to buy bigger clothes, but since I don't get rid of much, if it goes down, I still have the smaller clothes to wear.

Almost never. I buy a piece or two here or there. I bought jeans and t-shirts when I moved to my current job because I only had dress pants and blouses from my previous job, and dresses for casual wear. My mom and MIL both take me shopping once or twice a year. That's usually good enough for me unless I see something I really like.

I don't really "shop" but I get a stitch fix once a month and I usually keep everything in it. I also order from a subscription clothing site, but I skipped last month.
During better money situations I bought clothes quite often and would do a go-through every other month. I probably still have a lot that could be donated, I've gained-lost-gained so much weight in the last year and I half that I have no idea what fits anymore. I'm on a shopping freeze until the financial picture improves.
Depends. Sometimes I go months without anything new and sometimes I'm buying something every week. I clean out my closet, etc once or twice a year and donate stuff that doesn't fir or I don't wear any more.
I used to not shop (thanks XH), so I've been doing a lot of updating. I toss things I no longer like/wear/fit.
I have also come to the conclusion that it is stupid to hang on to things because the used to fit and maybe I'll get back to that size. It is a little depressing, and honestly, if I get to a smaller size, I'll want to go buy new shit anyways, so I've tossed all of that too.

I used to shop a lot more, when I was skinnier and didn't have kids.
Now I rarely shop, maybe once every 3-ish months. So like once a season.
I do tend to wear the crap out of my most recent purchases though, so one item of an outfit I'm wearing is likely to be in a store I frequently shop (usually Target or Old Navy - I'm cheap).
Normally 2-3 times a year, but right now every 2-3 weeks because I have nothing to wear that fits well. I still have a tummy but am below prep regnant weight.

I buy new clothes all the time. I rarely toss things. My closet has overflowed into our bedroom, so I probably need to bag up some stuff to give away or donate soon.

This is exactly what I do too. Right now I'm on a buy something every week kick.

Everyday stuff? A few times a year maybe Running clothes? Every couple months Yoga clothes too often lol
I purge once a year or so. I don't like to keep a lot in my everyday wardrobe as I just tend to wear the same few things and I hate seeing stuff just hang in my closet not getting use.
I buy clothes frequently, but I dont purge as often as I should. I have a hard time getting rid of things....I always think I will wear it eventually. But I never do. Lol

I will go on 2-3 shopping trips in the spring and then 2-3 in the fall. I also purge my closet twice a year after seeing what I didn't wear through an entire season.
I probably get most of my clothes at Christmas from my Stepmom. I basically use her and my Stepsister as my personal shoppers and stylists. They're good.
I don't shop nearly as much as I used to. Preschool is fucking expensive! And I've gained weight which prevents me from buying. I buy new things like once every two months these days.
