Wardrobe Hacks
otterhound | Apr 23 2006
I'm working on a minimalist, utilitarian wardrobe. I don't want to have to think about dressing and I don't want to help a dry cleaner with his car payments. I am lucky to be able to dress as I like, within reason. I live in a hot climate (Dallas), where we recently enjoyed some lovely 100 degree April days. My current thinking is to go to 100% khakis and plain white t-shirts. Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter. Boring, yes, but totally inoffensive. I can keep the t-shirts nice by simply bleaching them and trying to keep them relatively unwrinkled. The khaki's can similarly be maintained somewhat unwrinkled and be fine. Are any of you doing wardrobe hacks? 35 Comments

I was just thinking about this thread the other day after I placed an order for some clothes from Shukr. They make clothing specifically the fullfill the needs of Western Muslims, but even k?fir can appreciate the designs and lines of their clothing. I am really digging their clothes. My wife bought a skirt and a top from them as well, it isn't often you see something fairly modern yet ancient. I'm a Large in their sizes and some of the things I wanted to get weren't available in Large or in colors I really didn't like. Check out this shirt: http://www.shukronline.com/mq105.html And I think the designs on their clothing for women are exceptional as well. Nothing showing off a navel, as you'd imagine, but very creative garments that are stylish and classy and maybe a little bit sexy yet modest. My wife remarked that many of their items wouldn't be out of place at a party, at a nice dinner, in the office, or running errands. And, a lot of their clothing will be be ideal for wardrobe simplification. » POSTED IN:
