AfterDRK Wardrobe Staples

Basic t-shirts. Mine are from the men’s department at COS.

Silk shirts, at least one black, one white. Equipment ‘Signature’, what else?

Cashmere sweaters. The men’s section (again) at the Belgian brand Essentiel has really good affordable options.

Darkgrey skinny jeans (and all kinds of other colored ones). I have tried millions and millions of jeans, but my Dr Denim ‘Snap’ ones are the ultimate – not too skinny, not too loose – they are perfect. I just recently found out the ones from Maison Scotch work pretty well on me too.

Boyfriend jeans, one pair of them. I personally love the Acne ‘Pop’ in one size too large (though they sell out pretty quickly) and I have a very nice one from Diesel.

Classic black pumps, the most unreal pointed toe pair you have ever laid eyes on. I am currently saving up for Prada, since Louboutin Pigalle is way too uncomfortable and maybe a bit too obvious for me. Go for a >10cm heel and the perfect amount of toe cleavage.

Oversized wool coat in camel or grey. Stella McCartney, Joseph, or for a slightly cheaper alternative Fillipa K. (I do not own a Stella – or Joseph – but this would definitely be my dream coat.)

Black blazer and matching pants. I swear by mine from Maison Martin Margiela, bought with a huge discount atRoundabout.

Chunky knit. Looks like Hope Sthlm is re-issuing their ‘Grand’ sweater, I never saw anything better than this.

The Details and Symbols

Macabre.  Macabre.  Macabre.  I finally went to my first Macabre sale.  I keep debating if I should wear the long Swiss Jacket that I bought in this 85 degree summer weather or if I should just keep it tucked away for a cooler day...  Naturally, I won't wear it because I'd die a slow death of heat exhaustion.  Regardless, I'm inexplicably excited to put that jacket on in the fall or winter and actually need it.  Oh winter... you're so far away yet so close. 

Back to Macabre.  Here are a few pictures of the owners' apartment covered in their glorious sale items.  I regret not buying everything.  No joke.

 

So many amazing items that are one of a kind and completely unique.  I wish my entire closet was full of this stuff!  I guess I'll have to work a few items at a time... Which is what I did here:
