THE ATHENA EDIT
Fewer things, chosen well.
This is a shortlist, not a shop. I choose every piece here myself and score it out of 10 against a published rubric — sizing, fabric, value and versatility — working from each piece’s published specifications rather than claiming to have worn it. Nothing that scores below 6.0 is listed, and where a piece has a flaw worth knowing about, the note on it says so. The links are affiliate links: if you buy through one I earn a commission, which never changes what you pay and never decides what appears here.
