It’s such a cheeky T-shirt,” the actor Josh O’Connor recently told Rolling Stone. “Just so cheeky, and I really liked wearing it because it was just a bit like [raises shoulders and winks], ‘Told ya.’”He was talking, of course, about the T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “I Told Ya” that has become the most-talked-about garment from Luca Guadagnino’s new tennis film about love, lust and (torn) ligaments, Challengers.The T-shirt is the work of the film’s costume designer and Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson, and what is particularly cheeky about the T-shirt is that it is not O’Connor’s.

And, until today, had no idea about his politics, which seem to veer to the right of Donald Trump’s. Although now that I do (the absolute horror!) I don’t think I will ever be able to wear said T-shirt again.For this week’s newsletter, we asked Guardian writers to give us a sniff of the clothes they kept from an ex. Unsurprisingly, most are off the record …
