What to look for

A useful wardrobe piece should be beautiful, practical and connected to the clothes you already own.

01

A dress or jumpsuit appropriate to the venue and time of day

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

02

Comfortable shoes that suit the ground and length of the hem

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

03

A compact evening bag with enough room for essentials

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

04

Jewellery that completes the outfit without overwhelming it

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

Before buying, apply the Three Outfit Rule: identify three complete outfits using pieces already in your wardrobe. If the combinations are difficult to name, the purchase may be solving the wrong problem.
