One of my resolutions for this year is to purchase good basics. The key is to find cloths of the best quality shaped in classic cuts. In this case, I better avoid temporary trends, because I need garments that pass the test of time.
LBD.- We should be eternally grateful to Coco Chanel for things like this.
White poplin shirt. I need something original, my choice is Dior Homme.
Black coat. I regard this as an investment. A good coat can last ages.
Jeans. The range is endless, but this time I'll give A.P.C. a try.
Trench. It must be Burberry. White tees. In every possible cut. My favourites are from: The Row, Mark and Estel, and Etoile Isabel Marant.
A black suit. Considering I'm still pretty young for a suit, I have to wait some time before buying it.
Cashmere cardigans. They are so warm and comfortable, I would never take them of.
Black skirt. A black high-waisted skirt is my choice, but if you want a classic cut, go for a pencil skirt.
Finally, I couldn't resist adding a striped t-shirt. It's not a basic piece, but it ages very well.
I love all of those pieces. I'm in the process of making my closet "perfect", and I've resently aquired a lot of pieces like the ones you posted. I have a Burberry trench that I hardly ever wear, I actually prefer my H&M trench...funny. My favorite basic piece would be cashmere cardigans though, I have one black and one grey and I adore them! They go with everything.
ReplyDeleteI really like that Chloe coat. Classic but still very pretty.
ReplyDelete'I ve been addicted to gray cardigans since high school': that s not me, it s from Chloé Sevigny in Self Service :) that s what your post make me think about.
ReplyDeleteOh I think the black pants should really more be of a classic cut - more business suit cut, because after all, it has to be a timeless basic.
ReplyDeleteA great coat is one of the best investments one could do in my humble opinion. In winter i.e. it's the only piece people can see of your outfit anyways thus a great super cool coat is def a must have!
nice post! :)
where is that first tank top from? i must know! :)
