Style: all my oldest faves.

Apr 20, 2018 | 1 comment

The other day I released a video on my Youtube channel, where I shared some tips to put together a lot of cute looks for all the summer parties. My focus in this video were the timeless classics, and the black suit was one of them. I also styled most of these looks for an everyday look, just to emphasize how versatile they are – and in that connection I rediscovered the above outfit, which is probably the most basic outfit you’ve ever seen, but nevertheless something I feel amazing in! I often wear both the blazer and the pants separately, but there’s just something really cool about a suit put together with totally down-to-earth items, like a plain white t-shirt and a pair of converse sneakers.

Forleden udgav jeg en video på min Youtube kanal, hvor jeg kom med nogle tips til, at sammensætte fine looks til alle sommerens fester. Jeg lagde høj vægt på tidløse klassikere, og det sorte suit var én af dem. Jeg stylede også de fleste af disse looks til hverdag, blot for at understrege hvor alsidige de er – og i den forbindelse genopdagede jeg altså ovenstående outfit, som jo er noge af det mest basic, men ikke desto mindre noget jeg virkelig bare føler mig godt tilpas i! Jeg går ofte i både blazer og bukser hver for sig, men der er altså bare noget virkelig sejt ved et suit, der bliver sat sammen med helt nede-på-jorden items, som netop en hvid t-shirt og et par converse sneakers.

Another thing with this look is that it consists of many of my oldest favourites from my wardrobe. My Converse may be the absolute oldest item I even have, and with their almost 8 years of age they have really been a faithful go-to the last many years. There has been a change of laces along the way (very good tip to make a few sneakers look like new again by the way!) and they have also been glued here and there, but I will dare to say they have a couple of years left in them still. They also get breaks because, as many of you already know, I’m definitely more a boot-kinda-girl. I purchased my Inwear blazer six years ago, and with the bag from Adax which is also a good 6-7 year old, these two items probably mark the very beginning of my interest in sustainable fashion, in a classic “quality over quantity” sense.

En anden ting der er ved dette look er, at det består af mange af mine ældste favoritter fra garderoben. Mine Converse må nok være det absolut ældste item jeg har, og med sine snart 8 år på bagen har de virkelig været en trofast go-to de sidste mange år. Det har fået skiftet snørebånd undervejs (rigtig godt tip til, at få et par sneakers til at se ud som nye igen forresten!), og er også blevet limet lidt hist og her, men jeg vil vove og påstå de har et par år tilbage i sig endnu. De får jo også sine pauser, da jeg som mange af jer nok allerede ved, helt klart er mere en støvle-pige. Min blazer fra Inwear købte jeg for 6 år siden, og sammen med tasken fra Adax der også er en 6-7 år gammel, markerer disse to items nok i virkeligheden den spæde start af min interesse for bæredygtig mode, i en klassisk “kvalitet over kvantitet” forstand.

This is where I feel that sustainable fashion not only resembles sustainable brands and initiatives; sustainable fashion is also the fact that you have invested in timeless classics that you want to use year after year and which you’d gladly take good care of to prolong the life of. Of course, I support sustainable brands and secondhand fashion as the very first thing whenever I want to add new items to my wardrobe today, but I have many classics in my wardrobe from conventional brands, and I don’t intend to replace these as long as they still add value to my wardrobe.

Det er hér min tankegang om, at bæredygtig mode ikke blot er lig med, at bakke op om bæredygtige brands og initiativer kommer til udtryk; bæredygtig mode er også det faktum, at man har investeret i tidløse klassikere, som man har lyst til at anvende år efter år og som man også passer rigtig godt på, for at forlænge produkternes levetid. Selvfølgelig bakker jeg som det første op omkring bæredygtige brands og genbrug i dag, men jeg har mange klassikere i min garderobe fra konventionelle brands, og dem har jeg ikke tænkt mig at skifte ud så længe de stadig tilfører værdi til min garderobe.
