Would you describe your partner as a hoodie or a blazer? Your answer tells me everything.

Sometimes the most telling question isn't 'where is this relationship going?' But 'if this relationship were an item of clothing, how does it make me feel?'

Author of How To Not Die Alone Logan Ury asked this hypothetical question to her followers and said it could actually be really enlightening about your relationship:

"If your partner were a piece of clothing in your closet, something that you wear, what would they be?" she asked.

"It gets at people's gut reactions. Sometimes people tell me, 'My partner is an old sweater that I used to wear but now itches me.' Or 'My partner is a raggedy t-shirt that I wear to the gym, but I don't want to be seen in'."

So, what would your partner be?

Watch: Do you plan your outfit the night before? Post continues below.

If you're stuck for inspo, I've curated 20 possible wardrobe items and how they might symbolise your relationship to help you figure it out.

They fall under three categories: the elevators, the safety nets and the warning signs. Which one feels most fitting?

Go on, be brutal.

The elevators.

Cashmere jumper: Classic quality that stands the test of time. Soft, nurturing, and luxurious without being flashy. Someone who brings comfort while elevating every situation they're part of.

Trench coat: Timeless and adaptable, handling various conditions with style. Someone with classic appeal who remains elegant under pressure. They provide protection without sacrificing sophistication.

Statement belt: The person who adds flair and definition to otherwise ordinary situations. They bring structure while expressing individuality, tying different aspects of life together.

Silk shirt: Smooth, luxurious, and adaptable to various settings. Someone with natural elegance who can transition seamlessly between casual and formal situations.

RM Williams: Expensive upfront but will literally last forever if you care for them properly. Dependable, quintessentially Australian, and more comfortable with age. A purchase for life.

Blazer: Polished when needed but can be thrown over jeans for brunch. The reliable grown-up who somehow manages to pay bills on time but still knows how to have fun. They make you feel like you've got your life together even when your car registration is three weeks overdue.

Favourite jeans: They grab your ass in all the right ways. They've been through the dryer too many times but still show up. The kind of relationship where you can just exist without sucking everything in. They've moulded perfectly to your life, become more comfortable with time and make you feel good.

The safety nets.

Raincoat: The emotional weather protector who's there for every storm. Not the sexiest item in your wardrobe, but bloody hell, you're grateful for them when the sky opens up.

Favourite cosiest jumper: The warm, safe landing place and the one you reach for without thinking. They know all your weird bits, have adjusted to your shape, and somehow still make you feel like the best version of yourself despite having seen you ugly-cry through three seasons of whatever show made you emotionally unstable.

Elastic-waist jeans: Accepting and forgiving, they adapt to your changing needs and fluctuations. Someone who loves you unconditionally through all of life's transitions.

Oversized hoodie: The wardrobe equivalent of comfort food. Enveloping and generous, they have room to share their warmth with others. Someone who provides comfort without constraining you.

Sports bra: Not particularly sexy, but holds everything together when life gets turbulent. Supportive in all the right places, never lets you down during a crisis, and doesn't make a fuss about being in the spotlight. The unsung hero of your relationship that you'd be lost without during life's marathons.

Baggy blue jeans: Relaxed and easygoing, with no need to impress. Someone who gives you space to be yourself without judgment or pressure. They're comfortable in any setting and make others feel at ease.

The warning signs.

Gimmick slogan t-shirt: Hilariously entertaining at first, but quickly becomes embarrassing in public. They're the partner who still makes 'that's what she said' jokes at family dinners and thinks they're absolutely killing it. Funny until about the third date, now you're five years in and considering 'accidentally' shrinking them in the wash.

Stilettos: Drop-dead gorgeous but leaves you wincing in pain after a couple of hours. You wear them anyway because they look incredible in photos. A relationship that looks perfect on Instagram but has you crying in the Uber home. Not built for long distances.

Military jacket: Everything has a place and a purpose. The bathroom products are arranged by height, and there's a spreadsheet for your weekly meal plan. Sure, they're dependable, but do they need to fold their underwear? THE UNDERWEAR?

Old t-shirt with holes: Familiar but perhaps showing signs of neglect. While once cherished, this relationship has deteriorated but remains due to comfort and history rather than current value or function.

Knock-off Gucci handbag: Looks impressive from a distance but falls apart under scrutiny. They talk a big game about their 'business ventures' and 'connections' but somehow you're always picking up the dinner bill. The kind of partner your friends tried to warn you about after the first date.

Sports team jersey: Loves a boy's night. The relationship equivalent of being ghosted for anything with a scoreboard. Their phone is suddenly glued to their hand for score updates, but your texts? Those can wait until half-time.

Sockettes: A bit on the nose. They promise to stay put but always, ALWAYS slide down exposing your entire foot to the uncomfortable bits of your shoe. They swear they'll change, be more reliable, stop forgetting your birthday... until next time. The relationship equivalent of 'fool me once, shame on you; fool me seventeen times, maybe I should download a dating app'

Would your relationship survive the wardrobe test? Or are you desperately searching for the receipt?
