If you haven\u2019t had any success perusing those ever so tempting last-chance winter sales in search of that stunning \u00a0super-trendy piece, it\u2019s time to stop the insanity and get back to basics. After all, the foundation of a truly great, well-rounded wardrobe isn\u2019t built on leftover sale pieces and fast-fashion \u00a0but on classic, functional pieces that promise to last a lifetime. If there\u2019s one thing I know, they don\u2019t make em like they used to, or like they still do at DC Dalgliesh<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u00a0Dalgliesh\u00a0may be old-school, but being the world\u2019s only dedicated hand-crafted tartan mill means they certainly aren\u2019t afraid to stick to\u00a0\u00a0\u201cif it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it\u201d, especially when it comes to their bespoke tartan and woolen production processes. Now, just because they have been using the same techniques for over 100 years doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t have a few tricks up their merino sleeves!\u00a0Since bringing on personal style crush (and stylist) Lynne McCrossan as their Brand Guardian a few months back, DCD has definitely been the Scots Fashion pack\u2019s best kept secret. Shooting with the country\u2019s top photographers in iconic locations DC Dalgliesh is asking Scotland, how do you wear your heritage?<\/p>\n

\"_DSF2945\"<\/a>\"_DSF2986\"<\/a>Using some DC Dalgliesh classics \u2013 the tartan suit, shepherd\u2019s plaid and merino wools \u2013 myself, Lynne, stylist Adam Holmes (AKA Menswear Whisky<\/a>) met with legendary Glaswegian photographer Brian Sweeney<\/a> for a late night shoot in SWG3. I love the thought of showcasing the same products through different styling, lighting and personalities.\u00a0I couldn\u2019t help but be drawn to the cherry red merino wool jumper and went all out Americana for the styling. Can\u2019t beat a little bit of luxury over a classic white shirt and a pair of Chuck Taylors, now, can we?<\/p>\n

\"_DSF2966\"<\/a>\"_DSF2972\"<\/a>I always put purchases down to a cost per wear ratio. Think of your classic pieces like that cosy blanket you love to curl up and watch Mad Men with. It\u2019s always there for you when you need it, and like hell are you ever gonna sell it or chuck it away! I get exactly the same feeling when it comes to my wardrobe staples. They are always there when you need them, waiting to make you feel great at your disposal. So the next time you see that cheap, sad jumper sitting on the sale rail, just think about the pleasure you would get from one, luxury, hand woven number, and let those natural fibres shield you from any \u2018last chance to buy\u2019 regrets. Trust me, your wallet will thank me! How do you wear your heritage?<\/p>\n
