It might be something new and stylish. Something you’ve bought to wear for a special occasion. Something that you save for ‘best’, or that simply makes you feel great every time you put it on.

It might be something old and worn. Something you wouldn’t even wear out of the house, but that’s so comfy you just can’t bear to part with it.

In the spirit of sharing, these are ours (below). Now tell us yours!

Cari - pyjama bottoms. First thing I put on when I get home. Hideous but sooooo comfortable.
Lara - black leather boots. “Smart with a tiny heel that makes them look smart but still comfortable.”
Tasha - torn between two midi dresses and still deciding which!
Sarah - stripy top
Sadaf - long grey jumper. “It has holes in from wearing it so much. Just ignore my attempts at stitching it up if you see me in it”

I have a black leather jacket that’s nearly as old as my first grandson ( 13) next week I love it and it still fits and wearable!

My dressing gown which was a Christmas present several years ago from DH but is still so cosy especially getting up in the morning

I'm torn between 2 knee length dresses I own (being short I like knee length). One is a simple loose swing dress in soft grey Merino wool with a teal Bardot neckline and teal sleeve cuffs and the other is a plain navy organic cotton dress with pockets bought from Seasalt.

I love my black lady vintage Hepburn dress. I have a few LV dresses but that is my favourite.

I love my well worn and baggy track suit bottoms - not the sort of item to be seen out in but great for lolling around in at home

I have a long sparkly purple velvet skirt, which I love to wear.

I love wearing my joggers, a slouchy fleece (or t-shirt in the summer) and slippers when I get home. They're about the only things I actually feel comfortable in!

My quilting group made me a beautiful sleeveless duster when I moved away. I treasure it and only wear it on special occasions.

It's a toss up between my padded winter jacket for outdoors and my white pure cotton Victorian nightdress for indoors

Lovely pink coat I bought from Debenhams with my birthday money many years ago, dresses up a pair of jeans and ankle boots nicely.

My little black dress

My dungaree shorts worn about 14/15 years old. Blue denim with yellow flowers on and looked amazing though I didn't realise it at the time!

About five years ago I bought a Reiss silk shirt with a black subtle pattern. It was about £4 from a charity shop and is the most packable, useful, versatile top in my wardrobe. I will never get rid of it!

It has to be my dressing gown - a present from my daughter and incredibly soft and warm. I love it.

Big sloppy jumper with leggings for around the house, nice & warm & comfortable.

Cosy (and holey) cardigan

I buy stretch jodhpurs to wear for walking. They are very comfortable, much thicker than a pair of leggings and look great with boots and a puffa jacket.
