Cost Per Wear From a Pair of White Trousers

I love a bargain, but I will also buy something I really love even if it isn’t a bargain. It means that it has to get worn, though, not just sit in the wardrobe. In fact, some of the most expensive things I have bought have been worn the most; an Armani scarf, a silk Eileen Fisher dress, and a Mulberry clutch bag, for example.

There are several keys to getting good cost per wear from an item:

  • It is in a neutral, a navy blazer or a tan handbag
  • It’s in one of your best accent colors, for example, a red cashmere scarf
  • It can be worn in different ways, to the office or out in the evening

Although my example below isn’t expensive, a pair of white trousers might be an item you would think you wouldn’t get much wear from, especially if you live in the UK with our erratic summers. But if you make sure that they are machine washable and that you have the right underwear to go under them (flesh-colored, not white), you have plenty of options from casual to dressy.
