In detail: Cost Per Wear Calculator for a £150 Item
A £150 item costs £5.00 per wear at 30 wears — roughly "worn fortnightly for a year." That's the useful comparison: not the sticker price, but what it costs per actual use. A £150 coat worn 100+ times is better value than a £38 coat worn twice.
At this price point, the item needs to get into genuine rotation to earn its keep. Aim for 50+ wears minimum over its lifetime — if realistically you won't, a cheaper alternative is probably the honest answer.
Cost-per-wear works less well for items you love wearing rarely (a wedding outfit, a formal coat) — some purchases are worth their per-wear cost for emotional reasons. The calculation is a check, not a verdict.
