Danish brand Flore Flore makes the perfect cropped-but-not-too-cropped, structured-but-not-too-structured long-sleeve. We thought Margaret Austin — former buyer for Opening Ceremony and Totokaelo and current proprietor of excellent Brooklyn-based shop Outline — discovered them first. (Outline’s been selling them for months; they’ve since migrated over to Ssense.) But it turns out she discovered them second. “I found it through my friend Carmen, who owns Carmen in Amsterdam,” she says. “Flore Flore’s founder Flòrian is a good friend of hers, and I’m pretty sure she was the first to carry the brand. When I saw the pictures of the tees, I knew we needed them for Outline — it’s strangely difficult to find nice basics, quality- and silhouette-wise. They’ve been doing super-well. And Flòrian told me Hailey Bieber’s been wearing them recently.”
