£100 on boots but im not a big spender on clothes normally. Happy to pay a decent amount for good shoes but im not a brand shopper.
I buy stuff cause i like them, the most id spend on a top for example would be 20 but generally alot less x |

I buy Paul Harnden clothes and they are expensive but investment pieces.
I recently sold a coat that I bought for £900 and I got £1350 for it
I usually break even after wearing them |

£165 for my sunglasses, purely because cheap ones don't work for me. I need the higher quality lens work.
Other than that, we spend little on clothing. Don't own designer labels, we don't have much to spend so can't justify designer prices.

My wedding dress. Cost me $350 plus alterations. I shudder thinking of the price.
But I'm going to get it cut shorter and dyed so it will be useful again...once I got into it again that is

Not sure but probably less than £200 - for one of my suits. I always buy them when reduced. Can't remember exact prices. I know I spent considerably more on my son for his prom outfit than I have ever spent on myself. In fact that's true of a lot of things I've bought for him. |

My leather jacket was £400 and worth every penny, it's beautiful.
I spent £1200 on a bag when I was younger. No regrets, I was making loads of money & I loved it like a child. Til I wrecked it. |

£120 on a coat. I hate spending money on myself. I've spent thousands on dance costumes and sports kit. I had more pleasure from that. I don't feel any different wearing a £40 top from Next to a second hand one from my sister in law. |

About $150 for a leather jacket in 1986, it lasted me well for about 20 yrs until some fucker nicked it 
Usually get most of ma stuff from charity shops these days though, apart from shoes which I'm happy to pay about £60-70 for  |

Probably £150 on a dress and about £200 on a coat. Those are quite big exceptions though, most of my clothes are mid priced things, say the £20-£50 bracket. I'm too fickle to buy investment pieces. |

I spent £150 quid on a frock once.
Now I tend to buy a couple of key items that are classy rather than fashionable and accessorise with current bits.
Who am I kidding- happiest in Jeans and a tshirt! |

£700 on my wedding dress, plus another £200 on accessories. Now sits in a box in storage 
Never really spent a large amount of money on 1 item of clothing. Being plus size there isn't the opportunity to buy designer clothing items. So think my most expensive items would be a pair of knee high boots at £90 or a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses that cost a whole weeks wage (leaving me with nothing!) I left them on the bus about 2 weeks later.
I currently own a genuine Mulberry handbag, however I only paid £5 for it brand new! |

Back in the 80's I bought an original flying jacket for 80 quid,,, I've no idea how much that equates too in todays money,,
But I don't spend a lot on individual items these days and I'm certainly not attracted by in the moment, must have designer labels ....

The most expensive thing in my wardrobe is a £40 dress from River Island and that was bought begrudgingly after struggling for weeks to find an outfit for a wedding.
May come across as stingey but as someone who has never understood the need for "designer" labels, I cannot bring myself to spend rediculous amounts above what I think something is worth.

I could no longer justify spending a lot of money on clothes. Apart from my wedding dress I would guess my riding boots, but they were bought for me by an employer.
Most I've spent on a neo-retro frock is just under £100, though I took great delight in getting a £350 designer handbag for £8.50 |

The most expensive item of clothing I have personally bought was my wedding dress it cost about £300.00 made to measure. Good deal I thought.
The Jimmy Choo shoes hubby bought me one Xmas are probably the most expensive things I actually wear. I don't want to know how much he paid for them

I never buy anything at full price or go shopping for specific things but when I see a bargain, I'm there apart from a pair of shoes by a company called Trippen. I bought those ten years ago at about £100 and I still wear them now, like nearly all of my footwear.
I've got a few expensive dresses that I bought online for Primark prices, all of them will be worn for many years. |

Apart from my wedding dress I did spend £200 on an evening gown once. I used to spend a lot on shoes too but not these days. I couldn't justify it now since the little people have come along and sucked the life out of my bank account.
I would probably spend about £50 quid on a dress now and perhaps £80 on a pair of winter boots or coat. I mostly buy everything else from the high street these days. |

Probably my Oakley sunglasses or Assos winter cycling jacket
Other than that Dr Matins or New Rocks. The rest of my wardrobe tends to be band t-shirts and jeans |

I would never pay an inordinate sum for a plain white polo with a random designer label.
... I will however pay a reasonable sum for some well made Dr Martens that have a lifetime guarantee on them |

Bags. I have a thing for vivienne westwood. I have 3. A £700 one and a £250 one and a £180 one. I also have a limited edition burberry bag which sits in my wardrobe which was hugely expensive for what it is. Got my eye on a dior one at the moment. Most days though I use a $100 Betsey Johnson bag. My 'good' bags come out for weekends and special occasions. |

I tend to spend more on accessories than clothes.
I can't really put a figure on them as I used to scale down the price or pretend I'd had them for ages...
I think Ray-Bans were £175, Uggs $150 so they're probably the most I've spent in recent years. |

My dry suit cost £1100.
I buy cheap clothes usually, I'm not a brand buyer.
I did buy a pair of caterpillar boots for £150. That was 22 years ago, I'm wearing them today so money well spent I reckon.
