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

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.

Cosy (and holey) cardigan

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

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

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!

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!

My little black dress

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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 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!

A full length black linen skirt.
I bought it to wear to my M’s funeral and thought I would never wear again, wrong!! I love it and can dress it up with a nice top or down with a t-shirt.

I love my red check skirt, a bit on the short side but with opaque tights I can get away with it. My husband is always happy to see my legs and I like to make an old man happy!

Ah - just had a thought.

My favourite garment of all time was a black denim coat that had a really unusual cut; I wore it until it was so tatty that I eventually had to let it go, but I still find myself hoping that I will spy something similar. I wore that coat all through the early years of my marriage and loved the way it made me feel; it's one of a very few items that I would say I've had a sentimental attachment to.

Welcome all new posters. When I was twelve I was bought a blue and white striped shirt, with a grandad collar and turn up sleeves. I wore it constantly, so much so that my mum used to steal it from my room to wash.

ps and when it's really cold, an unfashionable coat of pure wool/mohair, with big pockets, which I bought in a sale for £16 20 years ago.

What I'm wearing now - a long wool jumper, bluebell blue, from Woolovers, some years ago. No pilling after many cool machine washes.
Their current ones are ok, but quality has gone down.

My favourite item of clothing is a dress bought on impulse from Hobbs in a sale. It skims where it should and can be dressed up,or down. It feels comfortable and gives me confidence when I wear it. The best impulse buy I've ever made!
