Hello lovely S&B-ers, can you please help me find some quirky/asymmetric/interesting but ethical tops for WFH that are in the UK (or at least deliver / do returns to/from UK without post brexit hassle / massive journey / fees)?
I've seen Gorman mentioned on S&B, and really like their stuff, but it's in Australia, and I think there was a bit of a row about their ethics.
Also like Forgotten Tribes in the UK, esp things like this asymmetric top, but there seems to be a lot of acrylic and not really things that are suitable on Zoom for work.
I really like avant-garde / asymmetric linen things like this seller from the Ukraine, but I'm put off by ££ postage/taxes/can't return etc..
I want to like Gudrun Sjödén but it's all a bit shapeless and/or I don't like the patterns.
I'm in my 40s, size 12-14, prefer black/grey but willing to take a punt on colour. I definitely like the Swedish architect look, so angular things rather than frills or puff sleeves or bows, but can't find anything in Cos I like. Lost a bit of weight recently too, but before was in a bit of a habit of hiding podge behind Lagenlook-style massive triangle tunics, so I'm trying to steer clear of those.
I rifled through Baukjen a bit, but it was all a bit animal printy (I'm not ready to dress like my mother), too fussy/pouffy or too plain.
Starting a new job soon, and I'd like to pretend I'm put together rather than having to stare at myself on video calls in the same old endless black tops ....
Help! Or am I just too fussy?
TIA!
