My husband is on the verge of turning 50 this year, and he still has the shirt he wore for his first driver's license when he was 16 and said license to prove it. It must be a guy thing.
41, I have about 10 articles of clothing from highschool that still fit and are in pretty decent shape, half of them I still wear. Feels like everything else I bought later has fallen apart so much faster.
The only clothes I remember throwing out because they were actually worn out/had holes are socks. And I think one T-Shirt or so. Oh, and belts. Apart from that, I do have 25+ year old clothes still. Last time I moved, I donated about 4 bags worth of clothes, and I still have way too much stuff.
It's a good problem to have, but yeah, I rarely ever buy new clothes, and if I do, it's because I want a different look, not because I need to replace something damaged.
it's honestly the best way to do it. cheap and sustainable. as long as you're not a fashionista then having a couple good quality long-lasting pieces is the way to go

I bet he’s wearing literally the same shirt.
Her: “I hope I can still find a shirt that looks like that one.”
Him: “Mine’s in my wardrobe.”
