You'll have already heard about me talking about Form & Thread and their socks, but now they have brought out an essentials collection

Since the turn of the year I’ve slowly started to change how I’m building up the pieces in my wardrobe. Call it selective or terribly picky, but as I’ve gotten older it takes a lot for me to part with my money. However, when I do it’s often a piece that I know is going to add to what I already have in the t-shirt, trousers or shoes department.

Form & Thread, a brand formerly known just for its ace socks, has now created an essentials collection that truly is everything you need to start building up your wardrobe. They are the base and staple of any outfit before starting to layer and build up colours. They have created a range of t-shirts, including a beautiful breton, as well as a couple of sweatshirts to throw on during the evening.

My style now lends itself to a nice fitting tee, a thin pair of slacks or turned up jeans for the summer and

then a nice pair of trainers, shoes or converse depending on the occasion. With Form & Thread they’ve really taken their time to perfect the cut and how their jersey products sit. I once had the mentality of if I like the way a garment looked, but not necessarily sitting perfectly, I’d still buy it. Now I’m much more considered and if the length of a top drowns me or the sleeves bury my arms it goes back on the hanger.

I guess what I’m trying to say is next time you make a purchase, make it count. Take as much time to buy an item as Form & Thread do to make their products a quality one. In the long run you’ll realise that the knee jerk purchases we’ve all been guilty of making were all in vain. Head over to their blog to read more about the Form & Thread story.
