The Everyday Edit

I used to endlessly spend money on dresses I’d wear once, only to have them sit in the back of my cupboard forever. I’d end up feeling guilty or even a bit sad that these clothes never saw the light of day.

Lately, I’ve become much more interested in investing in good basics. These are the things I actually wear every day. I’ve put together a list of my favourite tank tops, T-shirts, belts, jeans, cardigans, and other wardrobe essentials that actually get worn and maybe even a bit torn along the way.

The perfect Tank top

A tank top has been the foundation of my wardrobe since I was 3, starting with Petit Bateau, which I now buy for my son. Initially, I used the tank top as an under layer, my second skin. But now, in my adult life, it’s the most important part of my wardrobe.

I’ve been through possibly every brand trying to find the perfect one, and I feel confident saying the list below includes the best. Some sit higher on the chest, while others have a deep V, which feels more dressy and go’s nicely with a longer necklace.

If you’ve been searching for the one, this list is a good place to start. Toteme tank, All Three tank, Flore Flore tank, St.Agni open back tank, Leset tank, St.Agni tank

T- shirts you need

I personally like a more fitted T-shirt when I’m wearing short sleeves something with a slightly more feminine shape around the shoulders. But when it comes to long sleeves, I’m happier going baggy and slouchy.A good graphic or vintage tee is always a nice addition too, and with those, I think you can go more boxy whether short or long sleeved.I’ve also added a more structured T-shirt that’s become an essential in my wardrobe recently.

Your everyday jean

I really only wear jeans and a tank top, so having good denim is essential for me. I love denim because it’s versatile it can feel relaxed and as comfy as tracksuit, or it can be tailored and dressy, ready for something a little more formal.

Here’s a list of the denim I wear day in and day out. Some are low rise, some high rise, but all are designed to give you long legs. I’ve also added a pair of my favourite trousers, they’re not technically jeans, but they’re a great basic and serve the same purpose.

Belts Make Everything Look Better

Belts are there to make even the most boring outfit feel interesting they pull everything together. Here's a few I wear on repeat.

The additional basics

Every wardrobe needs: the perfect black dress, a sturdy round neck jumper, a cardigan that goes with everything, a bag that goes everywhere with you, an oversized shirt to throw over a tank, button up and tuck into jeans, or wear over a bikini and, of course, a really good pair of ballet flats.
