I’m just loving the Selected line of clothing: nearly every piece is a classic with a twist – wearable, elegant and comfortable. Perfect for building that elusive capsule wardrobe. I’m even plotting if I can make recreations of some of these pieces myself… funny how when you start sewing you want to make everything yourself from now on.
I adore these elegant monochrome dresses. The first one looks like it’d be pretty easy to recreate – just a wrap with wide kimono sleeves, so no fastenings to worry about.
Little black dress made more interesting with texture and a low tied back. Again an easy elastic-waist shape to copy.
Sweatpants that are almost acceptable to wear outside – right? I definitely want to tackle sewing trousers soon, but crotches scare me.
Minimally cool waterfall blazer
Give me a perfect slouchy, slubby tee and I am a happy girl.
Interesting folded-bag texture print on this tee
The line’s available from ASOS and their own site in euros.
(Not sponsored, I just want it all!)
Sometimes I find Asos overwhelming with its thousands of brands in inventory. Unless I’m in the mood for window shopping, I just don’t feel like weeding through all of it! So I’m glad to hear about this brand from your entry — their pieces look absolutely lovely.
I agree! I usually happen across certain brands on there by chance. Check out Dansk too, they’re a Danish brand with great basics.
I actually bought the first two dresses from ASOS before xmas. But then sent them back. Both dresses looked a lot different in reality. The fabric was very shiny on both and not at all what I had imagined! Let me know how you get on because making my own version of the first one sounds excellent.
Ah, that’s a shame. Good to know though. The great thing about sewing is you can choose exactly what fabric you’d like it in.. and tailor a perfect fit!
I had never heard of Selected before, but you’re right the collection is great. I particularly like the back detailing on the black dress – it just makes it that little bit different.
I’m quite tempted by the sweatpants, they look so comfy!
But I know for one thing that ASOS can be addictive, so I’ll be reasonable :) Great selection though!
These look NICE!
