Basics for a considered everyday wardrobe

Basics brings together the foundations of a modern wardrobe through clear shapes, practical layers and distinct finishing details. The collection centres on everyday separates that can be worn in different combinations: T-shirts, fitted tops, shirts, blouses, denim jeans, knitwear, tailored pieces and trousers. Each category approaches familiar dressing with restraint and character, allowing straightforward wardrobe codes to feel intentional rather than anonymous.

The focus is on silhouettes that establish an easy starting point. Relaxed and loose T-shirts sit alongside closer-fitting ribbed tops, while shirts introduce collars, buttons and curved hems to the mix. Small signature details, from subtle logo placement to considered seams and trims, give these pared-back pieces definition. Explore everyday t-shirts for jersey layers designed around this direct, versatile approach.

Jersey layers and woven shirting

Build a look from the top down with cotton-jersey tees, tanks and long-sleeved layers. Crew necklines, dropped shoulders and clean proportions provide a useful counterpoint to more structured pieces, whether worn alone or beneath an open shirt, cardigan or jacket. The interplay of fitted and relaxed shapes makes the collection adaptable without losing its sharp visual line.

Woven shirts and blouses bring another register to the Basics collection. Pointed collars, button fronts, cuffs and softly shaped hems add structure, while cropped shirt silhouettes offer a more compact proportion. A ruffled neckline or a subtle shift in volume introduces the unexpected note that defines Baum und Pferdgarten: classic shirting adjusted with a playful edge. Pair a simple tee with a button-front layer, or let a blouse bring detail to a more minimal base.

Denim foundations with defined proportions

Denim is a central part of the collection’s everyday vocabulary. High-waisted jeans appear in loose and straight fits with wide legs, bringing a strong, grounded proportion to lighter tops and closer-fitting knits. Five-pocket construction, front seam details and denim shirting add familiar utility to the selection while keeping the overall expression precise. For further washes and jean silhouettes, see denim essentials.

The styling potential lies in proportion rather than excess. A fitted tank or fine-knit layer can sharpen the volume of wide-leg denim; a loose tee creates a more relaxed line. A cropped denim shirt can be worn with high-waisted jeans for a focused head-to-toe denim look, while a longer shirt offers a different layer over trousers. Animal-print denim provides a graphic accent within an otherwise clean foundation, showing how a staple can carry visual energy.

Knitwear and tailoring for considered combinations

Knitwear provides a streamlined layer between jersey and tailoring. Fine-knit cardigans with button closures and fitted knit tops with high necklines offer defined shapes that work over tanks and tees or under jackets. Ribbed edges and compact proportions give simple combinations a finished quality. Discover layering knitwear to continue the conversation between soft texture and clear structure.

Tailored separates bring a more formal framework to the collection without disrupting its everyday purpose. A relaxed blazer, straight-leg trousers and clean waistbands introduce measured lines that can be styled with casual tops, denim or a shirt. The result is a wardrobe built on contrast: a tailored jacket over soft jersey, a neat cardigan with wide-leg jeans, or a crisp shirt with everyday trousers. Basics is not about a prescribed uniform, but about pieces that make space for different proportions, layers and personal combinations.
