With Autumn \/ Winter almost upon us, the struggle is real to not splurge on all the things we \u2018need\u2019 to revamp our wardrobes for the next season. It\u2019s super easy to get caught up in the fun, flashy pieces but, it\u2019s the classic staples that really stand the test of time. Enter:\u00a0Gant<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

When I think of GANT, I can\u2019t help but think of Dead Poet\u2019s Society and the WASP-y, Ivy League crop of American boys and country clad gents. It\u2019s not immediately the brand you think of as a woman, but if there\u2019s one thing these guys do well, it\u2019s the crisp shirt in all of it many forms. \u00a0Is there anything more classically American than a classic button-down? I don\u2019t think so. Gotta have a (dressing room) montage, montage!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6469\"<\/a>\"IMG_6638\"<\/a>\"FullSizeRender\"<\/a>\"CNjslcVW8AATISk\"<\/a>The original work shirt \u00a0is worth its weight in gold, putting in overtime again and again, going with pretty much anything in your wardrobe.\u00a0It\u2019s the easiest go-to over jeans or a skirt, but even more importantly, it layers perfectly over just about all of our favorite tees, tanks, and dresses. Like I said, this is your wardrobe workhorse, so you better make damn sure you get a good one to see you through. GANT have been practising the shirt since opening in\u00a0New Haven in 1949, but really became the item du jour with young scholars in Harvard in the 60\u2019s. I\u2019m a real sucker for heritage brands\u00a0and always go back to them a million times over. I have my Burberry Trench, my Levi jeans, Converse Chuck Taylors and now I finally have my Gant Shirt.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>As you can see, myself and Bee had a great time visiting to our local GANT store in Edinburgh. I was really surprised to see the various style, cuts and fabrics that were available \u2013 and at very reasonable prices too!\u00a0Since GANT pride themselves as a classic heritage brand, their collections are basically seasonless so now is as good a time as any to stock up on a variety of shirts that will carry you through the next 12 months. Tied up, buttoned down, or left open, here are my top picks\u00a0from their new collection that could slide easily into anyone\u2019s wardrobe!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6552\"<\/a>\"IMG_6513\"<\/a>I loved trying on a variety of styles, including their \u2018straight off the boat\u2019 cotton riviera polo shirts and shirt dresses! I completely fell for the co-ord floral print they had in for fall winter, the trousers were the perfect cut and would brighten up a day or a night look with ease. I couldn\u2019t help but get caught up in all the Americana and grabbed the XXL American Flag knit from the menswear department to wear over my new Oxford. Just needed my Chuck Taylors and I am ready to get my cheer on! GO TEAM!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>I can\u2019t wait to wear my new shirt all kinds of ways, the only problem now I\u2019ve tried the best of the best. I want linen, I want denim, I want print \u2013 keep doing you Gant, it\u2019s obviously working! If you\u2019re looking for the perfect shirt, definitely look no further.<\/p>\n
