Everything I Wore This Week

I went up to London for a meeting on Monday, and I cannot stress to you just how exciting it was! SORRY! BIG TEASE! I’ve never worked with a brand on a collaboration of this scale before; it’s already been a year in the making, and it won’t see the light of day till April next year. I just know you are going to love it. I do! It didn’t really matter what I wore there as I knew I’d be in and out of samples, so I defaulted to the easiest outfit of all - T-shirt and jeans. Antonia did a great deep-dive on that exact subject this week. And even though I highly rate this LESET Nando Tee*, I’m wondering if this is a good enough high-street dupe*?

A pattern started here that repeated itself for the rest of the week; a longer-sleeve, slightly oversized T-shirt, with a pair of short shorts. I’ve got a pretty long torso, and this is one of those formulas that I feel works well with my body shape - covered up top, legs out. This might seem like a nothingbuger of an outfit, BUT, hear me out. This T-shirt is by far the best long-sleeve T-shirt I’ve ever tried*. Mid-weight, with a slightly flared sleeve, it’s oversized without feeling baggy (I wear a medium - it runs true to size). And I think the bag is doing some heavy lifting here too, just to add some balance to an all-black look. My L.L.Bean tote order is the natural colour, in the medium size with the long straps*.
