Black jeans.

They are comfortable, easy to wear and go with lots of different things. They’re in the wash today and I’m wondering what to wear instead!

Big chunky cardies from Free People. An expensive lockdown discovery. I now have 7. They are way overpriced but I just love wearing them. They feel soooo comforting to wrap around myself over clothes or pyjamas.

I think my most worn things are always my ankle boots, was tracking this in an app. A) it's so cold half the time and B) guess you tend to have fewer shoes than clothes. I have six pairs of ankle boots.

Velour trousers for lounging...so warm and cozy.

I am one of those people who buys the clothes I like multiple times. I do try to buy the same item in different colours. But I know what I like and what I'm comfortable in now and have stopped caring about what's fashionable.

A grey wool poncho. I work from home but get cold so often end up shoving it on over whatever else I'm wearing. It looks smarter on than hoodies so I can wear it for video calls, etc.

Black ankle boots from Seasalt. these

Clothing-wise, plain black scoop neck long sleeve tops from Jigsaw. Unfortunately they seem to have stopped doing them and I can't find a replacement. I've got 3 and am hoping they last forever!

I'm quite partial to scoop neck tops from Hobbs, they are 3/4 sleeves rather than full long sleeves but they are nice quality. I have the top in 3 colours.

Probably my jeans but I have been trying to mix things up a bit more, I've some nice chinos and also some combat trousers to wear during the winter.

Crabwoman · 11/02/2022 13:43

A pair black pascal DM's. They are the classic style but made out of a waterproof utility fabric.

I wear them with everything from tracksuit bottoms to skirts and dresses. They can be dressed up or down. They are a kids size 5 and have a side zip so I can put them on in seconds too Grin

Itsagrandoldteam · 11/02/2022 14:25

Black leggings, I've got loads of them and wear them everyday. I'm past caring about anything other than being comfortable.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 11/02/2022 14:33

I have 6 pairs of identical blue jeans.. from Hollister of all places!
I'm 57 and they fit as if made for me

strawberrypotato · 11/02/2022 14:42

Black jeans for me too! I have quite a few pairs and have resorted to dying them black again when they fade in the wash instead of buying more Blush

MrsBerthaRochester · 11/02/2022 14:49

My red coat from New look which I got in sale for £10 five years ago. I have about 30 coats but this is by far most worn.
At home my Rosie from m&s dressing gown. Goes on as soon as I get in.

OohRahhMaki · 11/02/2022 14:55

A midi denim shirt dress. Relaxed fit, probably not particularly flattering but I wear them constantly (1 deep blue and 1 black). In winter they get worn with tights, big wooly cardigan and DMs. In summer the get worn with birkenstocks or white converse.

I'm a simple person with simple tastes Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/02/2022 15:31

Thanks @LivingDeadGirlUK I find Hobbs t-shirts a bit too short in the body for me.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 11/02/2022 15:33

J Brand Natasha Jeans

I don't really do skinny jeans any more, but I make an exception for these because they're so flattering. This is my second pair and I LOVE them.

LovelyLupins · 11/02/2022 15:46

Jeans, usually black and slightly batwing shape jersey tops.

shopaholic22 · 11/02/2022 16:05

Bought this in a few colours. My new obsession is all things cosy.
If I can wear it to run errands, in the office, at home... I'm buying it!

Not interested in anything that gets worn once.

What one item of clothing do you wear most?
Cheekypeach · 11/02/2022 16:05

Black long sleeve t shirt tucked in to mom jeans
At home, a pair of light pink knit fabric joggers I got from Boux about 5 years ago. So soft and comfy

jay55 · 11/02/2022 16:13

This time of year knitted dresses.

GeneLovesJezebel · 11/02/2022 16:14

Black leggings. In the summer I mix it up and wear black cropped leggings 🤣🤣

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 11/02/2022 16:57

I’m another person who tends to buy things in multiple colour ways if I like them. My most worn items are jeans and knitwear at the moment (still mainly WFH) so Levi’s high loose taper jeans in light blue/dark blue/charcoal, and alpaca cardis from Arket. Special shout out to a fabulous wool jumper from the H&M premium (?) collection too though - navy, high neck, slightly balloon sleeved, and super cosy.

midsomermurderess · 11/02/2022 17:17

My Toast Alix trousers.

vesperlindor · 11/02/2022 17:21

Right now, my hot shot onesie from Free People. So comfy!

blahblahx · 11/02/2022 17:24

My maternity leggings!

FelicityPike · 11/02/2022 17:26

Crosscheck clothing hoodies.
