The oldest thing in my closet is a night gown that belonged to my grandma. She passed away in the 80's, and it is in perfect conditions and I still wear it. I also have a jacket that used to be hers but I don't wear it very often, and a jacket my dad bought in his trip to Denmark about 30 years ago.

[@Aurriel]

The oldest thing in my closet are a pair of gloves that used to be my grandma's. She bought them from her first ever salary in 1952.

[@bums009]

I still have a nightie I've had since I was 11, it was very big and baggy for me back then and now it's just a perfect slightly baggy knee length tshirt/nightie. I still wear it all the time around the house, it has a few holes but who cares haha. I also still have the top I wore on my first date when I was 14 lol, I actually fit back into it recently, just in time for it to come back in style too. It's like a black second skin top with sheer sleeves and little diamante studs scattered on the sleeves. I have many pieces I used to wear in my teens and still wear today, some of them are more sentimental than others. Lots of hand me downs in there from neighbours, family and friends. For example my best friends mother passed away from cancer in 2007 when we were 15, they gave me a lot of her clothes because she was my size. She had impeccable taste and I was honoured to take them on and give them a new life. I also have an oversized cardigan from my grandmother that I treasure, shes 98 so as you can imagine it's a pretty old cardigan. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk about old clothes lmao...

[@PurpleEyes77]

I love this 💕

[@I_am_Lauren]

The oldest thing in my closet is a prom dress from a decade ago. But my parents have kept some nostalgic baby clothes and kids clothes in a Box in the Attic.

[@judna1]

I have some of my father's clothes, also some vintage brown mountain boots (which I'm wearing right now by the way), us catalans call this kind of boots "xiruques". "Xiruca" is a label of mountain boots but we use it to refer to any kind of mountain boot here in Catalonia. However, if we are referring to an item of clothing that has been the longest time in my closet, it would be a jungle book t-shirt, I had it since I was one year old, I don't were it but it would fit me still, it was like I dress at the time and now is sort of like a crop top, but I could pull it off😅😊💪🏽. I'm keeping it for sentimental reasons. I'm not a hoarder, it's the only item of that time that I have. Nice video! Best regards from Barcelona!
