Quite a lot of things will last a decade. Probably half of my wardrobe is at least that old and I don't spend a lot of time searching out the best stuff. However, you've got to be realistic about it. T-shirts will stretch all out of shape and the collar will fray, because they are essentially disposable clothes. I go through trousers fairly quickly (like I need to buy a pair every 3-4 years), but until recently I only had 2 pairs of trousers. I'm up to 5 now because I found these amazing winter trousers at Uniqlo that are ridiculously well made and also very warm (they are 3 layers). Although I say I only had 2 pairs of trousers, I actually have a wardrobe for winter, summer, and spring/fall. In the summer, I often wear a jinbei which are... kind of like pajamas. But they are loose and cool and don't really wear out. In the winter it is trousers and shirts, but with a high quality undershirt. Generally I go for "outdoors" wear because it is usually of much better quality and also performs dramatically better (warmer, breathable, lighter). I wear exactly 1 fleece jacket (although I keep getting more as gifts... not sure what to do with them) and I don't dare to even imagine when I first got it -- probably over 20 years ago.
