[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't cost per wear and bang-for-your-buck opposites?  The greater your bang for your buck, the lower the cost per wear, right?

With that in mind, I'd say the best bang-for my-buck, lowest cost per wear items in my closet are:

a great pair of Citizens jeans that I picked up at an end-of-season sale at a small shop on Cape Cod; mid-wash with a slight flare

Blundstone boots -- paid full price, but they are super-comfortable and have a beautiful worn-in patina

Gola trainers in suede bought on sale in London in March 2020

black velvet pumps from Loeffler Randall -- versatile and comfortable, bought on sale
 
black silk pants with a slight flair that travel beautifully and can dress up a t-shirt and flip-flops in a hot minute, purchased on sale from Eileen Fisher -- their sales are amazing

LBD from Joseph Ribkoff, incredibly versatile -- I've worn it to funerals and weddings; purchased at end of season sale on Cape Cod (see above re Citizens jeans)

navy v-neck cashmere sweater from Uniqlo -- it never pills and fits beautifully

black boiled wool coat from J Crew -- paid full price but it was worth it; the coat fits perfectly is excellent quality and looks good with dresses, jeans or trousers

Eileen Fisher pleated silk, sleeveless  maxi dress -- bought for a wedding and paid full price, but I wear it at least once weekly in the warm weather, so the cost per wear is very low

navy silk Ralph Lauren wrap dress, thrifted at church rummage sale -- it fits perfectly and is always suitable for virtually any work or social occasion, e.g., Easter, Mother's Day brunch, reception at work conference, etc., etc., etc.

black corduroy pull-on pants from Avenue Montaigne -- again, super-versatile, beautiful fabric -- purchased from going-out-of-business sale in Guilford, CT, when we stopped for lunch on the way back from the Cape

lessons for me:  versatility is the Holy Grail!  Also, always shop at the beach![/quote]

Where is this Cape Cod shop? In Chatham every September and seems worth checking out. [/quote]
