The vertical bar chart provides data regarding how much money was allocated yearly on clothing by US residents from 1985 to 2005. Overall, the amount of money devoted on clothes by people of all ages experienced consistent growth throughout the period, with the figure for ladies seeing a more noticeable change. Moreover, the amount of money on boys and girls’ clothes was much lower compared to that for men and women.
Focusing on the huge amounts first, the figures for menhood and womenfolk exhibited considerably substantial amounts over the years. The financial allocation on clothing by women started at around $500 in 1985, a figure that then increased gradually throughout the entire years, reaching its peak of about a staggering $650 in the final year. In addition, starting at approximately $300, the amount of money spent by men saw a dramatic rise in the subsequent year, regardless of a slight decline in the last year, from nearly $420 to roughly $400.
By contrast, the amount of allocation by teenagers was relatively smaller compared to the other two categories. There was a period of stability for boys over the last two years, after starting at around $55 in 1985, and reaching about $80. Regarding the amount of money devoted by girls, a steady growth was observed for them over all three years, starting from about $60 to approximately $120.
