Fashion forever items

We all have items of clothing that for some unknown reason have an almost magical power - it could be something that as a purchase was agonised over prior to buying because of the price, or it could simply be something we picked up cheap with thought as to its style longevity. But there are items that outlast their contemporaries not only in terms of durability but in terms of look.

At the other end of the scale there's the kind of purchase that after you take it home, it just doesn't seem to look or feel right. Luckily that's what receipts are for - or, at a push, ebay. Because one individual's mispurchase is another individual's style perennial.

So, what's your forever garment?

Denim clothes - fashion foundation

What is it with denim? Ever since it was first introduced it has been worn by nearly everyone ever since.

Denim jeans, jackets, hats, skirts, dresses, shirts, bags, leggings (jeggings). You can even get a result if you put the term denim wedding dress into a search engine.

What I'd like to know, though, is: what is the strangest denim clothing you have ever owned?

I remember when I was about 7 and my gran worked in a clothes factory and used to bring stuff back for us (possibly at heavy discount from the quality control bin, but I don't know for sure). And one time we got these green workwear style jeans - you know the kind of jeans that have weird angular pockets for hammers, saws, etc? Well, that's the ones. They were actually a very good pair of jeans apart from the colour, although the only saws and hammers I owned at the time were plastic Fisher Price ones.
