I’m a little late to writing this post. Ok, like almost six months late. The bones of this post have been sitting in my drafts for a while. But still, I wanted to write it because I feel like this genre of ‘show and tell’ is perhaps the most helpful of all. I get a chance to reflect on the good, the bad, and the already on Vinted, and you get to see the pieces that pulled their weight in my wardrobe. The ones that months, and in some cases, over a year later, remain at the forefront of my daily outfits.
I did the same last year; you can check that out here and here, but in this post I’ve combined both purchased and gifted items (I’ve noted next to each piece whether it was bought or gifted, in which month, and given it an official rating). Part of me didn’t want to write this post because it’s a little embarrassing and frivolous to see what you’ve wasted your money on, especially when it's written down like this. But we all make mistakes, right? And trust me, lessons will be learnt from this post. I endeavour to stop buying drawstring trousers. Maybe.
To simplify it, here’s my rating system:
👖👖 👖 - Three pairs of jeans mean it’s been an AMAZING purchase, one of the best of 2025.
👖👖 - Two pairs of jeans means that it’s so-so. Not my best, nor my worst.
👖 - One pair of jeans means it was a bad buy and something that didn’t work out for me.
You comfy? Good….
