Woman has worn the same £20 Boohoo dress every weekend for five years straight

A woman has worn the same £20 dress from Boohoo on every single night out for five years. But despite being a serial outfit repeater, she has been praised by Love Island stars.

Amy Bates purchased the £20 dress from Boohoo almost six years ago and still loves the way it looks. The dress is black velvet number with a V-neck and long sleeves - and fashionista Amy says it fits like a glove.

She's worn it on virtually every night out since 2017 and believes people should be proud of being outfit repeaters. Self-employed baker Amy, 27, said: “It’s just ‘the one. All my friends know it."

“If we’re planning a night out, they’re like ‘what are you going to wear? Will you be wearing the black velvet dress?’ And I’m like ‘yeah, I actually am’.”

Sustainable warrior Amy’s hair has changed colour more times than she has chosen a new night out outfit. Throughout the years, she has rocked blonde, pink and brunette hair with the dress - and further accessories it with different colour heels and bags.

Amy, who is from Birmingham added: “I think sometimes people forget that washing machine’s exist. So, you can actually wash your outfits and wear them again. And I think people should be proud of being outfit repeaters. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a few photos on your Instagram feed where you’re wearing the same thing."

She continued: "I think there’s a lot of pressure these days to constantly be wearing something new or having different pictures on your Instagram."

Amy posted a TikTok of her wearing the dress on nights out throughout the years, which has attracted almost 150,000 views and 16,000 likes. It even captured the attention of Love
