Lurkers’ week: What’s your favourite piece of clothing?

A very old and baggy and bobbled purple cardi, warm and comforting it goes on when in need of a little tlc at the end of the day ( with a v neck tee and pj bottoms)

My two coats, one grey, the other beige, (longish - duster coats?) which I got from the supermarket. They're lovely and soft, made from a suede-like fabric. As they're not lined they're not warm enough to wear just yet but I like them very much.

My dressing gown!!

My Joe Brown's black, winter, velvet coat. It's the kind of coat I've always imagined having and couldn't believe I'd actually found it in last winter's collection. It has the most wonderfully cosy velvet fur trimmed hood attached with trimming around the cuffs and hem too. I feel like a character from DR Zhivago whenever I wear it.

An old fleece gilet. It used to be black but has faded to an odd sort of browny grey colour. It is useful for walking or gardening on a day like today or indoors for an extra layer.

My denim jacket bought second hand in the last century. Goes with anything and looks better with wear.

A smart pair of black trousers that can be casual look with a jumper or smart for going out for an evening.

An old navy fleecy jumper. It's two sizes too big so I prefer it to a dressing gown as I don't like things flapping round my legs.

Looks good with jeans, lightweight but very warm and comes out of the washing machine almost dry.

Good for gardening in as well.

The green cashmere cardigan that my sister passed on to me, it must have belonged to her husband’s aunt who died probably thirty years ago!

My zippy up dressing gown which I bought from M&S years ago it always washes well and its my favourite go to item.

I have a light grey soft tunic sweater that’s yonks old has bobbles all over and paint from the garden shed down one arm but I wash and wear it when I’m home alone and going nowhere. It’s warm and comfy and embroidered on the front with ‘Let it Snow’ ? coincidentally my daughter bought the same one and still has hers they must be 10+ yrs old.

A top from Tu at Sainsbury's . Years after purchase it survives every clean out of my wardrobe and never fails to cover my lumps and bumps , needs no ironing and after I slit the wrists is completely comfortable for sleeping in.

I have a purple fleece that is now getting quite worn but is soft and warm and cuddly.

A line black skirt, flattering and goes with any top.

I have a very old flannel shirt that I 'appropriated' from my Dad when I was pregnant....to wear over trousers!
I still have it and even though it's falling to bits, I wear it at home to potter.

My several pairs of £5 Asda black leggings with Viscose. they keep their shape, don't fade in the wash & are long enough for my 5'8" height.

My short fake fur coat I bought in a charity shop for £5. Really warm and light, and goes with everything.

My favorite is my Squall coat from Lands'End. So much so that I cant wait for bad weather so I can snuggle into it. Almost sad when the warmer weather starts and I put it away until it gets cold again.

I have a brown tweed zip up cardigan with hood that my Mum knitted for me over 40 years ago, it is still going strong although I now only use it in the garden and on the allotment everytime I wear it I think of Mum

My very old long black cardigan which can cover a multitude of wobbly bits.

My lovely thick herringbone tweed classic winter coat - it's a wrap front (so always fits!) deep pockets, warm & cosy, never dated - bought in the Debenhams sale in 1984 for £35 and it's annual dry clean brings it up like new - I think it will outlive me!

A turquoise and white fine-striped linen tunic from Seasalt. I bought it in a sale and have had so many compliments about it.

I LOVE this very expensive Moloh jacket that I got from eBay for a bargain price

Love, love love a cozy cardigan. I have a navy cashmere one from eBay, bought deliberately too big so I could cuddle myself with softness!
