Your most expensive item of clothing....

[Chouxs]

Mine is my North Face, all singing, all dancing rain coat.

My Whistles leather biker jacket. Coming up to its third year though so cost per wear is pennies.

A leather trench coat from Karen Millen. I purchased it in the summer and haven't worn it yet 🤷‍♀️

I bought a Korean designer dress - 750 - many years ago. Black, simple, beautifully cut. I've worn it so many times that it seems like such a bargain, now. At the time, I was working away long term, lonely, sad, crazed and making more money than I could spend, but even so I did a long shuddering breath when I checked the receipt once home.

I've worn it to both of my parents funerals, and, for that alone, it was worth it.

Probably my Allbirds shoes. I have some mizzles and some treebreezers. I can't remember ever having spent more than £150 on a single item! I avoid cheap stuff and tend to shop at pricier non designer stores online. I don't really buy proper designer.

Technically a bag but my Gucci Disco was a 40th birthday present (over a year ago) and I've used it nearly every day since.
Whistles biker jacket is a close second!

My work dresses which are Blackmilk knee lengths. For me, not a cheap purchase especially with import costs but I’ve worn them for 5 years now and they’re still going strong.
I’m not much of a clothes buyer though. I live in joules jeans and Asda men’s tshirts most of the time…and if I’m home, I’m wearing pjs! Clothes are a practical requirement but not a pleasure to me.

My North Face parka, followed by a collection of Russell and Bromley footwear

Ha ha same,my north face coat. Brooklyn parka.

Mine is a shearling coat.

My Radley picture bag. It was £270. The North Face coat is a second but that was from the outlet so cheaper.

@Scabetty I'd love a shearling coat, I'm coveting the grey shearling from the white company atm but it's £1250 and I just can't.

I do have a short coat from Karen Millen again that's got some shearling detail on it, it's soooo soft.

That said if we are talking bags my Chanel wasn't cheap!

My Belstaff down filled puffa coat in olive green - it cost a fortune, but I've worn it on all the really cold days for over ten years now.

Plus when I lost the belt a few years ago, they wrote off to Italy and had another one made for me .

Another one with a shearling item - but mine is a jacket...

Oh, and my wedding dress I guess, but that doesn't really count, does it!

My Dubarrys . I've worn them almost every day since I got them 3 years ago.

I do also have a beautiful Louis Vuitton silk cocktail dress that was £600 second hand - I shudder to think what it would have cost new.

I got over my fear of wearing it, but I don't often get the chance so I might just throw caution to the wind and stick it on for Lidl 😀

My Ralph Laurent Coat £400 and now 5year old and still smart despite being worn alot!

Bags- my Chanel classic flap that cost 6040
Otherwise some acne boots that were about 500 or a coat that was about 600

A shearling coat £900 about twenty years ago

A DVF dress I couldn't live without. Only worn it three times. I do feel fab in it though. (Might put it on tomorrow just because I can.)

A chiffon and silk Alice Temperley cocktail dress I bought when I was young and thin! I could barely get one thigh into it now but I keep it because it’s just so gorgeous and reminds me of lovely times wearing it.

A 1920s beaded flapper dress, mint condition: £200 circa 1994. I've paid more than that on a few occasions since then but at the time, that was a much bigger chunk of my income.

My All Saints leather jacket.

North Face warm winter coat.

My wedding dress. It cost £500 in 1995 from Pronuptua, it was in the sale.

Wedding dress aside (doesn't count if my Mum buys it?) then either my flat knee length Reiker winter boots at £125 or my Dune block heel over the knee slim boots at about the same price.

Both had many many many wears and still going strong. In fact I later bought another 2 pairs of the Reiker ones for fear they discontinued them by the time they've actually walked their last.

If I listen very carefully I can hear my stubbornly working class grandmother spinning in her grave at some of the amounts quoted on this thread
