Better quality for most items means they have a longer lifespan, and many of these items can be easily repaired, or when talking about shoes, re-soled. All this leads to less waste.

If you buy timeless, well-made garments, most of your wardrobe should last you a lifetime. Yet, finding your personal style and what really suits you is not that easy.

A word tote means “to carry” and the version of a tote bag as we know it today was Introduced as Bean's Ice Carrier way back in 1944. This bag looks good and works for basically everything, you can have one for work or to go to the beach. Here's a list of my favorites.

The Cuban collar shirt, also known as a camp collar, bowling shirt, or cabana shirt is the most relaxed version of all shirt styles. It’s also likely the most versatile of all shirt styles; it can be worn to the beach with swim trunks or to a summer wedding with a suit.

In the summer, many people wear more bold and vibrant colours, but styling them can be a challenge. You can easily end up with a look where one bright item clashes with another - like a pink shirt paired with pink shoes.

During sale season, it’s always possible to find some great deals. If you want to spend your money wisely, it’s smart to buy for the season ahead. This way, when it’s time to change clothes, you won’t feel the urge to buy something new because you’ll already be well-prepared.

In the summer months, when it gets hot, I look for breathable and light materials that feel like I am not wearing anything. Most of the summer, I don’t even wear a tank top when I’m running outside because I get too hot too fast.

Packing for a summer vacation can be a lot less stressful if you choose a colour palette where all the colours work together, allowing every item you pack to be worn together.

If you still don’t own any white or ecru trousers, you definitely need one and it will probably be the most stylish decision you have made in a very long time.

I swap a tee for a tank top in warmer months, especially when I plan to wear my shirt open. I really like the vintage aesthetic of a nice ribbed tank with a cool shirt. In the past I wore old army surplus tanks but I decided to search for a perfect ribbed tank top that is available on the market today.

If you prefer more specific styles or prints, you will have to be more selective to get clothing that matches. Luckily most of the sportswear brands make most of the clothing in matching sets or collections, so you don’t have to put in too much effort to get a perfect matching set.

To add more variety to your closet, choose pieces that work well for different occasions and pair easily with various materials and colors. They should also be functional. Keep in mind that in the beginning, you should focus on neutral colors like navy, beige, olive, white, and blue, as they will be easier to style into outfits.

Spring and fall is my favourite time of the year because it is warmer outside and we get a lot more sun than in the winter but can also still wear many layers. And that is why it is important to have different types of jackets. From leather to denim.

I try to make better choices when it comes to spending my money in all areas of my life from food to clothes, so it frustrating to realise that nearly all the top-quality performance gear is manufactured in China.

When you have built your winter wardrobe with essentials in basic colours you might be interested in how to elevate it or add even more variety. One way to do this is by introducing patterns and colours.
