Man's fashions changes too, but fewer man follow. The business suit, a straight skirt, a button down, a blazer isn't that much changed from 5 years ago. But the fun things do.
But some items are bit more versatile if well loved. I have 4 dresses and a couple of skirts from 3 /4 years ago that I still love and wear. A sheath, two shirt-dresses( black and orangey corral), a sun dress, a black pencil skirt and a pleated mini. Yeah, since then I bought a couple of flares, some tapered pencils, a zippered LBD. But I COULD have limited myself. I admit, I had moments where they were second fiddle, but now I re-discovered my love for them. Maybe my extensive clothes audit ( I have a spreadsheet with ALL my dresses, pants, jeans, shorts, skirts, tops, button-downs , outerwear and jackets, and shoes) has nudged me in using and remixing more.
