A wardrobe edit with one non-negotiable: natural fibres only. Cotton, linen, wool, cashmere and silk - chosen for how they feel, wear and last.
I’m increasingly interested in what clothes are actually made from, and in finding pieces where the quality of the fabric justifies the price. This is my edit of elevated basics and wardrobe staples made without synthetic fibres. Some are affordable ...
No polyester hiding behind a premium price tag. No paying more simply for a label. Just well-made clothes in good fabrics that I’d genuinely buy, wear and recommend.
An investment basic in 100% cashmere. The brushed finish gives it a softer, slightly more luxurious feel than a standard fine-knit cardigan, while the clean crew-neck shape keeps it incredibly wearable. Expensive, yes - but this is where I’d rather p...
Cashmere crew neck cardigan
An elevated basic that’s worth spending a little more on. The heavyweight cotton and structured cut make it feel noticeably more polished than a standard T-shirt and it holds its shape beautifully. It’s the kind of piece that can anchor an entire out...
Heavyweight Cotton White T-shirt
The jeans I think every wardrobe needs. A true classic with a straight, structured fit that doesn’t date or depend on whatever denim silhouette is trending. They work with almost everything, get better with wear and are worth finding in the wash and ...
Straight Leg Jeans
The everyday T-shirt that earns its place through sheer usefulness. Lightweight, smooth and easy to layer, it works under shirts, knitwear and jackets without adding bulk, but is polished enough to wear on its own. Affordable, easy to replace and exa...
Cotton T-Shirt
A genuinely good affordable cashmere basic. I’ve had mine for years and they’ve held up remarkably well for the price - the key is looking after them properly and always washing them on a cold wool cycle. Soft, warm and easy to wear, without the inve...
Cashmere Sweater
A forever piece in butter-soft lambskin. The straight-leg cut keeps them classic rather than trend-led, while the leather makes even the simplest knit or T-shirt feel considered. Definitely an investment, but exactly the kind of natural-material piec...
Leather straight leg trousers
A good example of why natural-fibre basics don’t have to be boring. Crisp cotton poplin, an easy oversized shape and a blue check that adds interest while still working like a classic shirt. The kind of piece I’d wear open over a T-shirt, tucked into...
Cotton button up shirt
An elevated take on the everyday long-sleeve. Fine merino wool is soft, breathable and naturally temperature-regulating, making this an easy year-round layering piece. At this price, it’s a particularly good way to upgrade a basic from cotton or synt...
Long-Sleeved Merino Top
The kind of knit that makes a very simple outfit look expensive. 100% cashmere with a relaxed, oversized cut that works just as well with jeans as it does over tailored trousers. An investment, but a strong one if you want fewer, better knits in genu...
Oversized Pure Cashmere Jumper
A great transitional coat when you want something more substantial than a trench but less formal than wool. The cotton fabric and contrasting corduroy collar give it that classic utility feel, while the clean cut keeps it polished. An easy natural-fi...
Corduroy-Collar Cotton Coat
A proper wool blazer and exactly the kind of piece worth checking the fabric label for. The hopsack wool gives it texture and structure, while the oversized cut keeps it modern rather than corporate. Expensive enough that the material should justify ...
Wool Blazer
A beautiful example of timeless outerwear with personality. BYAN’s wool coats bring together classic tailoring, interesting textures and considered details that make even the simplest outfit feel special. Handmade in Spain, these are the kind of inve...
