Konnie Huq has revealed that she hasn’t bought any clothes in 10 years. We’re interested in hearing from people who can beat that record or who have items of clothing they still wear that are more than 10 years old.

Share your pictures and stories

Has it been more than 10 years since you last bought clothes? We would like to hear why you don’t buy new clothes and how you keep your old clothes in good condition. Do you do anything in particular to protect them? Do you mend your own clothes?

Do you have a particular item that you’ve been wearing for more than 10 years? Where did this item come from and how is it still wearable after such a long time? Is it still fashionable? Would you ever consider replacing it with something new?

You can get in touch by filling in the encrypted form below. Only the Guardian will see your responses. We’d love to see pictures of an older item of clothing too. Please leave your contact details as one of our journalists may be in touch for more information.
