Some of you asked me for advice on which brands to get for basics to be able to do the 5 Piece French Wardrobe thing. I think it’s different for everybody, but I do want to give some recommendations or tell you about my favorites.

Now the search for the perfect t-shirt is a hard one, but for me it has definitely come to an end. I have tried tons and tons of different brands in price ranges varying from only 5 euros up to 120. I thought I found the perfect one when I bought my grey T by Alexander Wang t-shirt, but I didn’t. The fit of those is perfect, but the quality kinda sucks for something that costs 80 euros. You have to wash them by hand and they get those plushy bobbles (don’t know the English word) on them after a very short while.

Also the ones from Acne look pretty good and you probably all know by now that I am a huge Acne fan, but I don’t like their t-shirts either. Also the fit is very good, but the hems get twisted and I hate that. Also the reason why I don’t buy H&M tees.

About a year and a half ago, I bought a white pocket t-shirt from COS for 25 euros. Not only the price is perfect (for me at least), also the fit and the quality is pretty damn good. The hems don’t get twisted and it still looks good after a lot of washes. That’s why I decided to get two new ones in white, one in black and one in lightgrey yesterday in Düsseldorf.
