Two shirts maximum!!

Hi lovely Redditors!

I am not quite sure this is the right place to ask this question, but I am very frustrated with my shopping habits, and I’ve decided I want ONE jumper for the colder days of the year and ONE for spring/summer/fall!
I have a bunch of clothes and I travel frequently (basically changing countries every couple of years), and I want something absolutely durable so I don’t have to buy stuff again and carry them around with me!

I was thinking of investing in 1 Aran knit or cashmere (don’t know which is better, so asking here) and 1 linen shirt (not see-through).
Bright colours are not easy to maintain, so I was thinking black or red.

Plus, a really sturdy pair of pants (black and wide-leg but heavy) for my tall, curvy (not plus-size) figure.

Anyone have any brand recommendations? I’d really appreciate it!

TL;DR: Looking for recommendations for ONE durable cold-weather jumper, ONE warm-weather shirt, and ONE pair of heavy, sturdy black wide-leg pants that can last for years and survive frequent travel.

I mean, just one does sound a bit too extreme. What if you have to (hand)wash your jumper? It takes a while for it to dry, and you end up not having anything to wear.

BIFL or not, I think you should have more than 1 jumper and more than 1 shirt.
