The Only 13 Items Of Clothing You’ll Feel Good About Having Spent Money On Decades From Now
Your future self will thank you.
by The Candidly Team
We are no strangers to having spent way too much money on items of clothing that end up collecting dust in our closets.
But now that we’re older and wiser, we understand that the clothes that are really worth their weight in gold have to do two things.
Be incredible in and of themselves.
Make the rest of our clothes look more expensive.
The clothes we feel good about splurging on are, of course, beautiful and impeccable quality, but they’re also trend-defying, so they lassst. Some like to call them “heirloom” pieces but that makes them sound like something we’d store in the attic when really these are the clothes we turn to every day because they guarantee we look luxe and chic and like we have a firm grip on personal style.
There are 13 of these items that we strongly believe every 35+ woman needs at her disposal. They’re gorgeous. They’re classic. And each one will elevate all the $18 things you threw in your cart at Target, so you truly don’t have to spend anywhere else.

And you can see even more of our team, wearing and fawning over it HERE. We are totally unsponsored by Clare V. by the way (or any other brand on this list for that matter). Though we continue to dream - maybe one day…

Our obsession with these boots runs deep enough that the same anonymous person above also bought them in almond and white. And most of us own at least two of those colors.
And due to our sheer love, Nisolo was good enough to give us a code to share with you: Use CANDIDLY20 to get 20% off.

We’ve bought plenty of plain black belts in our day, but none of them touch what this one belt can do to all our clothes. Spring once, enjoy forever.
Oh, and if the sizing confuses you, here’s a little guide. A size 65 in the Gucci belt is equivalent to a US size 00. Sizes go up in increments of 5, so size 70=0, 75=2, 80=4, 85=6, 90=8, 95=10, 100=12, 105=14, 110=16, 115=18, 120=20.
