19 People Showcased Old Garments They Happily Wear Years Later

While some people try to follow all the new trends and search shops for ultrafashionable clothes, others just open their wardrobe, take out a skirt or a shirt that are sometimes older than they are, and look amazing. By looking at dresses or shoes that are decades old, we can only envy their durability and the loyalty of those who own them.

At CHEERY, we are pretty determined to search our own wardrobes in order to find forgotten old things that can be super trendy now. And with this article, we want to inspire you to do the same.

“This dress is 19 years old. I wear it every summer. It’s not that I don’t have clothes to wear, the dress is just universal. So far, I haven’t been able to find a replacement for it.”

“These are the sunglasses of my ex’s father. He used them in the late 1950s — early 1960s. I got them for my collection.”

“My mom bought this dress in 1991. She said it was Indian cotton. I wear it every summer. The colors haven’t faded, the fabric is like new. I guess I’ll have to hand it down.”

“I have a dress that my great-great-grandmother bought in the 1930-40s. I still wear it. It’s cool.”
