What do you do with clothes you've had

for a long time, if they are still in good condition, and you still like them?

I have a couple of shirts that I like that still look good, but I've had them for years...

Just wondering if I'm the only one wearing shirts that are 5 years old... Chat Icon

I have a few "classic" pieces that have held up really well and are still major popular brands so I keep them.

Re: What do you do with clothes you've had

Ugh my closet is filled with them! I finally gave my friend a pair of corduroy khaki pants that I knew I was never gonna fit into again. I always held out hope though! Chat Icon

ETA: I kinda read it wrong, but I do have a few classic pieces that will never go out of style and are higher quality. A lot of my work clothes, actually.

Re: What do you do with clothes you've had

If they are in great condition, I keep wearing them.
If it is something that is so out of style, I'll donate it.

I wear it untill it falls apart or doesn't fit!

I rarely buy things that are trendy enough to go out of style.

Re: What do you do with clothes you've had

I have clothes that I've been wearing for the past 10+ years. If they still fit & are in good condition, I keep them & wear them, I don't get rid of them just because they're old. I guess they're very durable because I tend to be hard on my clothes.

If they still look good, why not wear them? Chat Icon

The only thing that would keep me from keeping something is if it was too small for me and I ABSOLUTELY did not think I would EVER fit into it again!

Re: What do you do with clothes you've had

5 years?! That isn't that long, I have some classic pieces I got right out of college and are still holding on to them.....

I say as long as it still fits, is a "classic" style, and is in good shape. Go for it. But maybe ask your most stylish friend to make sure you aren't fooling yourself.

I guess I am a packrat! Recently I was getting rid of some stuff and had a black knit shirt with small thin stripes, pretty classic and still in good shape/condition. DH was like when did you get that - and I realized high school. I gave it to charity! Chat Icon

Re: What do you do with clothes you've had

I still wear them if they are "instyle". Most of the stuff I buy isn't really in or out but basic stuff - so you can't tell they are that old.
