My JNCO Twin Cannon, seen from the back

I bought a pair of JNCOs

I’ve always had a thing for baggy jeans. It makes me tremendously happy that they are back in fashion at the moment, and I enjoy seeing them everywhere around me.

Back in the day, the last time we were wearing baggy jeans, JNCOs weren’t a thing where I’m from, but I came across them online and from the first moment I saw them, I wanted a pair. However, the lack of supply and, I guess, my lack of courage meant I never bought any.

Until now, that is. A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing the web, and I can’t remember quite how, but I ended up on JNCO’s homepage, and there they were. I kept coming back, browsing the product list for a couple of days, and then I suddenly hit the “add to basket” button, satisfying a lifelong ambition in just a click.

Yesterday, they arrived, and I love them!

Wardrobe reboot (Part 1)

It’s been 6 months since I last bought clothes and while I’m able to ride out the summer, it will be time for a wardrobe reboot this autumn.

As always with these kinds of things, I will spend an impressive amount of time overthinking everything.

Requirements

These are my initial requirements:

  1. Capsule wardrobe with everything I need, nothing more, nothing less
  2. Every single item must get frequent wear (or address a special, recurring need, such as swimming shorts)
  3. Enough items to do laundry every 14 days
  4. Equipped for all 4 seasons in London
  5. Low-effort, where everything can be combined without thinking
  6. Relaxed-casual-as-default, with a minimum quantity of slightly smarter pieces as required
  7. A bit more variation in terms of colours (my current wardrobe is very black), without going crazy

Draft numbers

After some initial thinking, I think the required numbers look a bit as follows.
