I am currently in my favourite Desigual dress which I wore to work today (school) . I wear it out too. First worn in 2006 ( in my staff photo) and every year since. It's a nice weight of cotton jersey so never looks too warm or too thin. Washes well in the machine .
Thick tights and boots for Autumn and Spring terms and with flats in the summer.
I suppose it will wear out eventually and I'll be bereft.

Whats everyone else got?

Not clothes but I bought a silver and turquoise/enamel ring from a hippy market on a holiday in California when I was 15. I have worn it on my left thumb every day since, and am now 51. I think I paid about ten dollars for it.

More recently I bought a very expensive leather jacket from Whistles about this time last year. I had a hunch it would pay for itself cost per wear wise, and I was correct.

My Regatta fleece jacket. Its been hiking with me as a teenager and has been my winter work coat ever since. Also its managed to still fit wether Ive been 9st or 17st which is some sort of magic trick!LOL
Its now 34 years old and abit holey round the cuffs but still does the job.

Two pairs of dark grey, wide-legged yoga pants. The brand is Head, which I think has died now - but my comfy trews live on! They're 13 years old and have been worn at least once a week ever since. They don't "do anything for me" tbh, they're just easy and have pockets.
