I have a tball Tshirt from when I was 7 or 8? I wore it through hs and college because it was just tight enough to look kind of sexy. Or at least I thought it did.
I still wear my cheering shirts and sweatshirts from middle school to work out in. And my favorite pair of jeans are from 10th grade- they're still going strong!
I have a t-shirt from a high school dance that was, I think, my junior year of high school. So I guess that would be around 19 years old? My girls like to wear it as pajamas and I wear it to work out or sleep in sometimes.
I LOL mentally whenever I wear my "Seniors 2000" t-shirt from undergrad to the gym. I'm really dating myself with that one.
Wait! I just thought of something even older that I have: my great aunt knitted me a tiny sweater when I was born. I still have it and it's almost 55 years old!

I have a pair of Express jeans from 10th grade, so 20 years old. They do not fit me anymore. I am currently wearing socks that I bought in 2003. They still look brand new, and are comfy and warm so whenever I do a sock purge, I can't bear to part with them.

I really don't think I have anything older than like, 5 years. I'm not sentimental with clothing and I get sick of things quickly. I guess like others, it would be my wedding dress. I'm no fun there.

I have the yellow dress I was wearing when my adoption became final. My parents took me straight from the courthouse to have photos taken in it. So, around 46 years. I might even have some of my earlier baby dresses.
I have a couple of pieces that were are from family members. I have my uncle's suede jacket from the 70s. The shade of green is proof that it is from the 70s. I have a big wool RL cardigan sweater that was my moms…it is probably from the early 80s? I love it and still wear it at least a couple of times each winter.
I had a few pieces from when I was around 14 but recently went through a purge and decided that if I didn't actually wear the item it had to go.
My veil and wedding shoes, I guess. I purge A LOT. I don't even have my wedding dress and nothing fit me after having David so alllll of that was gone. My veil does still fit, though. lol

25 year old t-shirt. From middle school Fall Festival. I can't throw it out. It was huge back then but has been in rotation all this time. Its orangy-red and almost see-through its so worn in. But no holes. Sleeves fall perfectly, length is long.....it was cut straight, but now drapes perfectly. I will cry when it goes.
Design says, Church name/Fall Festival and has four squares with a tree with leaves in various stages of being all on the branches to being all around the trunk. LOVE.
A dress I bought when living in Boston and that's on it's way out. So 11 years. I've moved so much since I was 18 that I've not held onto 'old' clothing all that much. Kinda sad that my old university sweatshirt is gone, but when you have very little space to bring things over (or money to do so) and know that the closets/wardrobes are tiny over here, you have to keep only what is necessary.
That I wear outside the house: a knee length skirt I bought about 12 years ago and still looks like new, I have no idea how that is possible considering I bought it in H&M...
Strictly inside the house: some t-shirts that I used to wear over leggings in the early 90s they're less baggy now but so soft and cosy, they're perfect "I have the flu and feel miserable" t-shirts.
T Shirt from my Kindergarten. Found it in a foot locker type thing at my mom's house when I was going through her attic. So that is a good 36 years old. Yikes!
When I was around 5 my uncle was a student at Auburn University, and he gave me an adult medium size AU shirt with Mickey Mouse on it because it was the smallest size he could find. I still wear that shirt to sleep in sometimes. I'll be 34 next month.
I have a t-shirt that was my dad's when I was little. We also have some baby clothes that were worn by my sister and I that DD wore. I don't think I have much from MS/HS other than t-shirts from various extracurriculars.
Up until about a year ago, I had a tshirt from a soccer tournament from when I was 10. It was about15 years old and I slept in it several times a week. There were so many holes in it. DH finally nagged enough that I threw it out. It was soooo comfortable, but you could also see one of my nipples through a hole in the front. Lol
