Hello!
I’d love some ideas of shops to browse.
I’m gradually been replacing my wardrobe with higher quality basics - so when something needs replacing or I need something new, I’ll try and get something that will last. I’m focusing on natural materials (cotton, wool, linen, avoiding plastics, ethically made etc).
The problem I’m having is that a lot of the stores I can find that sell good quality clothes (Toast, Cos and the like) have a certain ‘look’ - the Swedish Architect 
Now don’t get me wrong, I really love the look. But not on me.....
The others I can find a more utilitarian - workwear inspired staples (Carrier Company which has amazing stuff) which again looks great on many but not on me 
Or they’re very plain and basic (Uniqlo etc).
I’m tall (5 ft 10) so you’d think that I’d be a natural Swedish Architect. But I’m also a pretty petite build - narrow shoulders, 25 inch waist, size 8. And I feel drowned by the wider/more oversized styles. I just feel a bit awkward! And I want things that aren’t too plain (so Uniqlo etc is out although still good for some staples!) I’m early 30s.
I can get away with some of my outfit being oversized - like a slightly oversized jumper with slim trousers/jeans. I love shops like Sézane as they do seem to be geared towards tall and slim. Many shops that probably work for tall and slim people seem to be on the cheaper/high street end - Topshop etc, that are geared towards the younger market and aren’t as good quality.
So does anyone else have suggestions of places I could look for my height and shape? I don’t mind spending a bit - high end high street, independent brands etc. So something like 100/200 for a jumper or jeans.
Thanks so much for any ideas - would love to find some new brands
