If I could whittle down my wardrobe to a few basic pieces these would be it. Picking just five is hard, I’m going with a pair of jeans, a sweater, a basic black dress, a black top and a white shirt.
DL1961 Samantha jeans in Bluebell
Some time ago I tried on a pair of DL1961 jeans and was absolutely floored by the fit. I’ve been quietly obsessing ever since, but I own too many pairs of jeans to justify another pair. The secret to their amazing fit is their 4-way stretch fabric and quite possibly some fairy dust thrown in. This pair is in the most amazing colour ever.
Vince Boatneck cropped sweater in Henna
Really loving this sweater by Vince. Actually I love most of their sweaters but it would be ridiculous to stock up just before Summer. Digging the relaxed fit and the shorter rounded hem, it would make a great layering piece when it gets colder. Wish it came in black.
Pepe Jeans Roll up sleeve shirt
It was hard finding a white shirt online. I know what my ideal basic white shirt would be and this comes really close. It was important that it was 100% cotton and it would be perfect if the hem was rounded just a smidge.
AOK Black destroyed jersey pocket tee
I can’t live without my basic black tees and would like one in every incarnation imaginable. I’m completely fascinated by this one. It’s only shredded at the back and I really like the idea of this saggy, swingy, stretchable and transparent fabric. It moves really well in large sections. I wonder how it would work on me in real life.
T by Alexander Wang Black jersey dress
Mmm bodycon, long sleeve, ruched.. and the perfect motivation to shed some pounds.
