Our TIMELESS WARDROBES

We all like buying something new, but these three women are still wearing their favourite outfits 10 years on

‘MY OUTFITS HAVE MEMORIES ATTACHED’

Roxanne Kennedy lives with her daughter, Niah, six, in Nottinghamshire.

I was 21 when I paid £15 for this gold, sequinned top. I’ve not worn it to death so it’s still in great condition. It’s a statement top that goes with anything and doesn’t date.

When I find something nice to wear, I keep it for years and feel sad throwing anything out. Half my wardrobe is full with clothes I’ve had forever. There are shorts, dresses and tops I bought 15 years ago.

I am a hoarder and I don’t like to get rid of clothes, especially dresses. I think I get it from my mum because she has a couple she’s had for 30 years!'

Thirteen years ago, I spent £250 on a designer coat from Henri Lloyd. It’s a heavy, wool, cream winter coat and still in perfect condition. There are also memories attached to lots of my outfits.

When I wear them, they remind me of fun times. I wore the gold top to a makeover and photoshoot, and to a fantastic black-and-gold-themed party.

Very occasionally, I’ll treat myself to a new top or pair of shoes. If you find an all-time favourite item, which is still in good condition and it fits, then why throw it out?
