14."A really good-quality winter coat or jacket. To me, it's definitely worth the investment if you live in a country that gets cold winters."

BRIT Awards / Via giphy.com

"Here in Ireland, it doesn't snow much in winter due to us being a small island, but we get very cold winters and very wet ones, so you get really cold rain. Paying extra for a really good-quality, warm, and waterproof coat makes SUCH a difference if you're out and about a lot like I am. It pays for itself because it can last you years." —u/LasRua
