What item of clothing or footwear do you remember most fondly? Why? Do you still have it?

For me it’s a pair of dark pink and white Adidas Jeans trainers as they were my shoe of choice throughout the wonderful days of the Madchester music period

Ooo god I couldn’t answer that question I have two wardrobe do you know how much clothes and shoes I have

Put it this way if I had to combine both wardrobes I could go 3 years without needing to wash a item off clothing and never have the same thing on more than one day

it’s bad

Solihull and Brentwood

A pair of Falmer jeans from a car boot sale, for £1 I think.

Nope don't have them, as I wore them out. - Prior to holes being fashionable in jeans. - But not a chance I could get into them now.

My first issue flying jacket. I stupidly handed it in when I left. I have others, but I would like that one back so badly.

A black under bust corset. I wore it out so that the spirals poked out of the fabric. It was just ......mmmm to wear. My first bespoke item made by Serendipity corsets who are long gone.

It started my love of corset wearing.

I have a favourite pair of jeans that I was wearing the night I met my husband. I absolutely loved them and still do. Unfortunately 20 years and 2 children later, I can't fit into them, but Im not letting them go.

There's a few things I remember... From when I was really young , A short, flared, navy skirt with a thick elasticated waist band, a crop top with crossed back straps. Leather trousers I bought in New Zealand and a pair of jeans I also bought there.

That reminds me of a beaded corset and satin trousers I used to wear on a night out!

Black knitted Zegna top, that I thought looked brilliant with a pair of Levi’s and Clark’s desert boots. Hand wash and drip fry only - when my beloved Wife pulled it out of the tumble dryer, it would just about have fitted our 5-year old grandson. I nearly cried.

Global Hypercolour T-shirt circa 1990/91

If you don't know or remember, they would change colour according to your body temperature and ended up looking very tye-dye ish.

It was all over when my step mum tumble dryed mine and broke the colour change magic thingy.
