unworn

Still with tags

Unworn describes something that has never been worn or used: The unworn dress still had its tags.

It applies mainly to clothing, shoes, and accessories.

Unworn items remain in original condition, which matters for returns, resale, and collectibles: unworn vintage sneakers.
