The lifespan of clothing can run anywhere from two washes and a prayer to coasting seamlessly across the generations. Much of this has to do with fabrication and craftsmanship.
So does caring for what you wear. In a want-it-now world fed by clicks and swipes, speed has rewired our perception of value. There is no point investing in the best you can afford, if you are not going to match that in regular upkeep. Even a small outlay of time can make a big difference to the longevity of your wardrobe, your wallet and the planet.
Buy well, buy once. Care well; wear it until it wears out.
Take it from me. I wrote a bestseller called The Happy Closet and dedicated an entire chapter to the power of maintenance. I'm also a total anorak about hangers. Apologies in advance.
Storage, repairs, mending: they're not sexy, but the results are always worth it. Here's how I keep the life in the things I love.
