Re: How long do you keep clothes for?
I probably have over a hundred t-shirts and because most of them are with a music design on them (tour t-shirts etc) I keep them. The ones I've had years are in boxes, but sometimes I dig them out and start wearing them again. The problem is I outgrow them all so fast and tend to renew general t-shirts each year. Long sleeve shirts I cannot wear as they are not comfortable on my arms. If an occasion is called for where I must wear one I do but otherwise I'd rather wear a short sleeved one.Winter coats I keep for longer until I get bored of wearing them. Same with shoes.

Re: How long do you keep clothes for?
How long do I keep my clothes for?Simple. It depends on whether I still like 'em or not.
I never go anywhere posh, so most of my clothes are ordinary, everyday clothes.
Tshirts don't really go out of fashion do they. I have never been interested in fashion anyway.
Anything I don't want goes to the Sally Army usually.
Having said that I did find at the bottom of my wardrobe an old pair of 'doggy trousers' I bought probably over 30 years ago when I used to do a lot of dog training - and they still fitted me.
Sadly, I'm going to finally chuck 'em though, as I've just put a big hole in the knee and they are not worth repairing.I have a cygnet ring I remember my Dad giving me for my 14th birthday, and that still fits the same finger I used to wear it on too.
If shoes are comfortable, I usually keep them until they wear out.
I'm very cheap to run!

Re: How long do you keep clothes for?
I've got tons of clothes, my wardrobe is full to bursting yet when I go to choose something I can't find anything that I fancy wearing.I get bored very quickly with clothes and I am always buying new ones and every now and then I'll have a clearout. I need to have a clearout now actually because I've just come back from holiday and I always have brand new clothes for my holidays, I spend a small fortune when we are going away but I don't feel guilty, we work hard all year so I think its ok to treat ourselves and have nice things to wear.
Sometimes when I'm having a clearout I do find it hard to throw them away thinking I'll wear them again but I never do, I am getting better at clearing out though.

I've got 2 Ralph Lauren jumpers that I bought 2 years ago but have never worn; I'm going to make a point of wearing them this year and hope they last well.
I bought a cashmere jumper a couple of years ago and it developed holes in the back of it before it was even washed, £85 down the drain. I could do with one new jumper this year and have decided I want one in bottle green as it's a nice colour. Can't decide where to go, Debenhams, M & S or TkMaxx or maybe John Lewis. Getting good news about my cancer has spurred me into making more of an effort with my health and appearance.
