I am 29 and I have bathing suits that I have owned for 10+ years. I can’t think of anything else. My style has changed radically over time.

26 & ratty old underwear aside I can’t be very specific. I’ve got some cardigans I’ve had for a long time. I’d not say longer than 6 or 7 years? My body and style has changed a lot over the past 5ish years so that’s affected that sort of thing.
