Can we have a “Staple Basics Sticky” please?

Hello

I’d like to ask if the S&B community would like a “sticky” or pinned thread to list the best staples out there?

I’m talking black vests, white vests, black tees, white tees, tights, and any other “staples” a typical capsule wardrobe should hold?

This is because I’m at the end of my tether with crap vests twisting in the wash or having scratchy labels, crap T-shirts (M&S yes you) being see thru/out of shape again after one wash and also tights that actually stay up and don’t ladder with one fart.

Not only can we start to list our “surefire staples” but can @MNHQ have a think about this if the consensus is that this is a good idea??

Merci

PHSG

Jeans - Topshop Jamie’s
Tights - M&S Autograph opaques
T-Shirts - Jigsaw cap sleeves / slight scoop neck
Cashmere sweaters - Pure Clothing - Especially the cropped sweater if you’re petite like me.

They also have some merino/cashmere mix ones that might be cooler.

Thanks, Paul. I've got several nice-ish viscose ones already. Will keep looking!

@SheStoodInTheStorm really? So far they've been great! I've only washed them about 4:5 times though so we'll see! I like that they don't start edging down and giving me saggy crotch!

I've got a black merino polo neck from uniqlo which is perfect...wishing i had a backup for when the moths inevitably get it.
