Old but still plenty of life in them.

I don’t know exactly how old some of my clothes are. I have a top from 1992 (I know that because I bought it for a specific holiday) and I know I have some clothes that pre-date that. And lots that’s at least 15-20 years old.

I can’t imagine caring that people have seen me in some things before.

I have clothes that are 10+ years old and I still wear them. I tend to buy classic styles that don't really date, so luckily they still look OK. I really wish I could buy new clothes - but the fashions at the moment (and over the last few years) really don't suit me - I am only 5' tall and these voluminous dresses and tops just bury me. I prefer fitted tailored clothes, but just can't find any!

My first reaction when the new personal trainer at the gym told us how old he was I’ve got clothes older than you

I have many classics which I bring up to date with seasonal on trend items.

tanith I totaslly agree with GMS. Some tops I possess I have had for 20 years and do I care? Not a lot. Where I live there are few shops where I can pop in to see what is on offer and I am not a fan of buying clothes online.

It is wasteful. I’ve got clothes much older than yours that I wear regularly. I couldn’t care less if someone’s seen me in them a good many times. If they’re clean, fit well and suit you that’s fine. I stopped buying clothes for the sake of having something new many years ago.

Just to add I shall be 86 in less than a month.
I should be very vain indeed to think people actually notice what I wear.
Little white haired old lady is all they see but at least I don’t smell of Lavender water and moth balls😉

I wear what makes me happy, despite when the clothes were acquired

I shall be out tonight with a friend who loves buying clothes.
She can afford it and it is entirely her choice but so wasteful to me.
I shall be wearing trousers only worn once but the camisole I shall have on under a loose shirt bought last spring is so old I couldn’t date it but certainly 20 years old.
Last week I washed and put away 3 padded jackets which take me through winter.
The newest is about 5 years old and the others certainly getting on for 10.
While they are in good condition I shall carry on.
My friend feels happy and fulfilled wearing new and I find that fine.
