Weird that you would make space for three jackets but not have enough clothes to go on a week long holiday without having to do laundry.

I thought we were finally rid of the minimalism Olympics a few years ago

5 pairs of shoes? I have 2.

I have 9.
1 pair each of sneakers, hiking boots, barefoot shoes, bicycling shoes, trail running shoes, rock climbing shoes, flip flops, loafers, and steel toe work boots.

9 pairs would be 18

Yes, that's generally how shoes work.

Unless I am travelling, I usually wear (wash & repeat) 4 shirts, two shorts and one pair of jeans. For travelling, I have extra clothes as its not always possible to do laundry when you are hopping cities every one or two days.
