Welcome to The Great Try-On. With spring well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases of the year.
Think of Toteme and your mind immediately goes to that viral scarf-coat. You know the one. It has a blanket stitch trim and comes in black, beige and, recently, grey, and it’s always sold out. Since becoming a household name among the fashion set, the brand has stayed true to its DNA of elevated basics and easy-to-wear and layerable pieces with core recurring styles. You won’t be finding any microtrends here; although, you can’t blame the Stockholm-based brand for inspiring countless dupes.
One thing that Toteme consistently does well that others in the “timeless wardrobe” category fail to do is keep up a good quality standard. I find this brand to be quite a reliable place to invest in, but as always, I’ll still check every care label and every seam! With that, let’s take a look at Toteme’s new collection. Let me share with you the pieces I think are worth the money and should have a place in your capsule wardrobe.
