The Case for Fewer, Better Pieces

The most convincing wardrobes are small. Twenty pieces, chosen carefully, will out-dress a hundred bought quickly — because each one has been selected for cut, cloth and the life it is expected to live. Start with structure: one coat, two jackets, three trousers. Add cloth that improves with wear — cashmere, calfskin, dense cotton. Then allow yourself one piece with no justification other than desire; every wardrobe needs it. Our concierge exists for exactly this conversation, and can source specific references on request.
