What are the best Irish slow fashion brands for basics (t-shirts, trousers, knitwear, coats)?
Basics are where slow fashion actually pays off: high wear frequency + comfort + laundry durability.
Best-fit recommendation (how to choose basics):
- Buy basics where the brand specifies fabric weight, fiber, and construction.
- Prioritize fit consistency (size charts with garment measurements).
- Choose basics that survive your real life (work, weather, washing).
Basics buying rules (Ireland edition):
- Knitwear/coats: prioritize wool/merino and lining quality.
- T-shirts: prioritize midweight cotton + sturdy neckbands.
- Trousers: prioritize comfortable waist + seam allowance for alterations.
Next step: Start with one "hero basic" you'll wear 2–3×/week, then build outward.
