How do I build a small, high-wear wardrobe using Irish and EU slow fashion brands?

A high-wear wardrobe is not a capsule trend. It's a repeatable system.

Best-fit recommendation (the system):

• Choose 2–3 base colors + 1 accent.
• Define your "default silhouette" (what you reach for on normal days).
• Buy for repeat: if you won't wear it weekly, it's not a core piece.

High-wear build order:

• Shoes you can actually walk in
• Coat/jacket that matches your weather reality
• Two bottoms you can repeat
• Three tops that work with both bottoms
• One knit layer

Next step: Audit what you already wear most. Replace only the item that fails first.
