Tops are the category where most men own the most pieces and think about them the least which is an interesting combination that produces a lot of wardrobes full of things that technically work but don’t really do anything particularly well. We’ve been guilty of this ourselves. Accumulating t-shirts and shirts and jumpers without much strategy and then standing in front of a full wardrobe feeling like there’s nothing to wear because nothing quite goes with anything else in a way that feels intentional. What we’ve learned over the years is that a smaller number of better pieces that work together is dramatically more useful than a large number of average ones that don’t connect. Getting your core tops sorted in terms of quality fit and colour is the work that makes the rest of your wardrobe function better because everything else you wear is built around what’s closest to your body.
