Investing in a capsule wardrobe: best clothing brands?

Hi everyone,

I've had enough of wasting money on fast fashion, never having anything decent to wear, panic-buying items of clothing before events/holidays, and having a wardrobe stuffed full of low-quality, mismatched, trend-driven shite.

I've saved up some money, really thought about and analysed what suits me (they joys of lockdown!) and would now love to know what brands you think I should invest in.

will mainly be buying a small amount of jeans, trousers, t-shirts, shirts, cardigans/jumpers, shorts, etc. and some basic but good underwear (which I think I will go to M&S for). Along with brogues, boots, sandals, and a bag (I really want a timeless canvas Longchamp bag).

Brands on my radar are: Boden, the White Company, Jigsaw, Cos, Stalf, Whistles, Office, Russell and Bromley - what do you think and would you recommend any others?

Thanks!

Finisterre for nice for staple t-shirts and lovely winter jumpers.

Joules do really nice cropped navy chinos that have stood the test of time.
