The bar chart compares how much money was spent on clothes by adults and children in the US from 1985 to 2005. Overall, adults, especially women tended to allocate more money to purchasing clothing items than children. While there was a rise in the clothing expenditures by all age groups and genders, the increase was much more noticeable among adults.
Starting adults, women expended around $500 a year on clothes in 1985, twice more than their male counterparts in the same year. However, this spending gap narrowed after a decade, with women spending little over $500 and men allocating about $450. Despite this, in 2005, the amount of money spent by women rose to a staggering $650, compared to that of men, which saw a negligible fall to $400.
In contrast, children exhibited consistently small figures. In 1985, boy’s annual expenditure on clothes stood at around $90, a figure that rose to $100 in 1995 and remained unchanged in 2005. Girls, meanwhile, spent the same $90 in 1985. This figure then rose to over $100 before further increasing to approximately $140 in the final year.
