In detail: Cost Per Wear Calculator for a £75 Item

A £75 item costs £2.50 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 £75 coat worn 100+ times is better value than a £19 coat worn twice.

At this price point, cost-per-wear analysis is usually favourable — even low wear counts produce reasonable per-wear costs. The bigger risk here is quantity: buying three £75 items instead of one better piece usually produces worse wardrobe outcomes.

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.
