I've recently found that most of my clothes last around a maximum of five years. After which one a few things happens
- they become shabby and worn
- they don't suit me anymore as my shape has changed due to ageing
- they are no longer stylish and styles/ shapes change and feel dated and frumpy.
Eg: I had some gorgeous trousers that I had been saving until the fitted again but now they book so dated! They were a pair of summer viscose tapered trousers in a print. Same for a pair of jeans - the waist was soooo low!
I'm trying to be more sustainable and buy things that last longer but even the more classic items don't seem to have a life after 5 years.
How do you strike the balance between fashion and style and how long do you expect clothes last and be stylish rather than fashionable?
