What to look for

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

01

A colour distinct from bridal white and ivory

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

02

A fabric that photographs well without excessive shine

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

03

A hem and silhouette suitable for sitting, dining and dancing

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.
