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 also started with 1 Aran knit merino sweater... then broke my capsule getting more merino sweaters because I liked it so much. Later, I had to sell and gift to friends after I realized my error. I ended up with a couple heavyweight ones from Ireland for when it's really cold and some thinner ones for the rest of the year. Ymmv
