What to look for

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

01

Dense, opaque cotton with a smooth hand

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

02

A neckline that keeps its shape

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

03

Sleeves that sit cleanly without flaring

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.
