Do you wear your new clothes straight away?

[Louisajohnson224]

With me I buy things and end up saving them..not sure what I'm saving them for.
Almost like if I wear it ..I won't like it anymore and won't be special anymore
Anyone else? Or am I just mad

Depends on the garment. Obvs if its occasion wear I save it but mostly I throw things on as soon as they are bought. Love new clothes.

Well I'm wearing the shirt that arrived yesterday, but the coat that arrived with it is in the wardrobe, waiting for...

...cold weather!

I bought a lovely new jumper and dying to wear it but keep thinking il save it for best.
Might just wear it tomorrow as I don't really go anywhere for "best" ha ha

Unless it's something weather dependent I return things if I've not worn them within two weeks after buying them. The new knitwear hanging in my wardrobe feels like it's taunting me!

Yes I always do, I had a dress delivered yesterday so I changed out of what I had on and put the new dress on .

I wait too, sometimes I wait too long though and end up not wearing it.
Unless I buy something I need, like a new pair of jeans which I see more as a necessity!

I remember Trinny & Susannah saying not to keep things for best as you'll never wear them. I'm a sucker for it, I have two tiers of clothes; everyday hacking around & naice (and fat / thin). Funny, folk always compliment my supposedly second rate stuff 👗

No, I hang on to them for a bit. Till they've sort of absorbed a bit of TeenfTroon-ness and they're really mine. God only knows why. How stupid can you get?

Ah thought this was going to be a do you wear new clothes without washing them first thread

I only buy things to wear every day except for going out clothes which are saved for the right occasion. No clothes saved for best - life is too short

I keep trying them on for a few days, and then eventually wear them when I feel that they are truly mine

Usually, yes, and if I haven't reached for them within a week then I probably won't wear them, so back they go.

However, I've bought a few autumn/winter things recently and it hasn't been cold enough to wear them yet.

If I don't wear things straight away they end up sitting in my wardrobe, unworn, waiting for the right occasion. I have fallen into this trap many times so now I am trying to only buy things that I will wear straight away.

Yes ive adopted a take them back after a week or so mentality. I am living for the moment

I'm the same, op. I'm trying to train myself out of saving for best but it's bloody hard. I blame my lovely, dearly departed mum.

I always save stuff for best.... Although that's often because I like to buy stuff early on in the season and chances are the weather is right to wear what I've bought for a while. Ie: summer dress in March , chunky knits in August.

Isn't right!

My gran is to blame.
She always says you save that one for best ..don't bother wasting lovely clothes to sit around the house or go to tesco.

Yes. This is the bane of my wardrobe and I wish I could overcome it.
I put it down to a childhood spent in poverty combined with a strongly developed lack of self esteem.

I meant to say "No!"

If I don't wear them straight away I take them back as I clearly don't like them much.

Im guilty of buying stuff and then feeling as though I don't really deserve them. It takes me a while to build up to wearing stuff

Same as pp's - if I don't wear it within a week (unless occasion or weather dependent) then it goes back, or if it was expensive and I shouldn't have bought it then I grapple with my conscience for a while and either give in and wear it or send it back!

I don't keep anything for best, but might save something for appropriate occasion/weather, etc.

Can't wait to wear them asap.
I used to be a saver then realised how silly that was.

I know my colours and style, so if i ever see anything thats 'perfect' then i buy it, sometimes have to wait for the right weather before i can actually use it. No concept of keeping things for best.
