Spring Wishlist Part 2

9 Apr

Written By Syed

Continuing on from my previous wishlist post is a more casual affair, albeit still weaving a thread of traditional design throughout. As is often the case, basics are anything but basic. It is with the most simple of garments that there seems to be the greatest chance of going wrong, or if not wrong, not entirely right. Indeed the variety of cuts, finishes and details are testament to this. I suppose it is about finding out what suits you and what you feel comfortable in.

A simple example would be the hunt for a basic white t-shirt (I realize that the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans is probably more immediate to most, however that is a whole myriad of issues in itself). I have yet to find a t-shirt cut which works for me. I have a long torso, very slender shoulders and an even more slender frame. Uniqlo t-shirts come close, as do the offerings from Muji, however both feel somewhat too boxy (perhaps the opposite complaint to most!). I am still on the hunt for my perfect white t-shirt, but once I find it, it will be a matter of introducing that new piece into my closet for the long haul.
