Do you like/wear retro clothes?

I do have some retro coats which I love as they are wool and very warm, however I do not generally like retro clothes.

I would prefer keeping up with the modern fashions rather than buying clothes from another era.

I have these coats as they were from my mother.

No I don't have any.

I feel they shrink during the years they hang in the wardrobe, and don't look too cute !

yes, they DO seem to shrink, dont they! Dont quite know why -perhaps the moths?

yep! it's the moths.....lol

I have many 'retro' clothes which I have simply NEVER been able to part with over the years! My jackets are the main items which I would get any wear out of these days though! A few of the very blouses which are made with exquisite fabrics are also among my favourite items.

I love retro clothes and used to wear them a lot as a teenager. Not so much now though. It's not deliberate and it wasn't really a fashion statement, just practical - I bought all my clothes from jumble sales, charity shops and house clearance shops, so they were automatically retro :)
I'm not bothered at all about fashion, or keeping up with what anyone else is wearing, it doesn't interest me at all. I prefer to wear clothes I like and can afford and I also think it is extremely wasteful to be buying brand new clothes all the time when there are perfectly good ones already made waiting to be worn.

No, seems like a lot of effort

I do like them on other people but don't wear them myself

I like some of it - I don't wear it though

I don’t wear them, I just wear the same cloths, year in year out, until I discovered dresses! Now I have 17 of them! Our youngest daughter lives for retro & vintage cloths, furniture, kitchen items!
She’s nearly 39 years old & very slim.

As I dress 'conservatorily' my clothes ARE my retro's!

Have never been a 'fashion slave', as never had the money to 'keep up', plus I'm no 'oil painting'.

Have always just preferred to wear clothes that suit me, & in which I feel happy to be.
My clothes have always been looked after to the nth degree, that way they 'pay me back'!
