I found this list of hot tips while searching for a different one. Written in 2022. I’ve kept editing to a minimum, just crossed out businesses that have sadly closed down in the years since, and added a couple of updates in italics!

Here’s some hot tips for some nice (mostly) local businesses. ~
Love from me while in isolation and you via story replies <3
Good quality T-shirts / Singlets for home and not at home:
Bassike is the most loved and worn brand in my wardrobe other than HB. Pieces are timeless, and made in Australia. I remember first spending the money on a couple of tshirts six or so years ago, and thinking it was a lot, but I still reach and wear those pieces on a regular basis so it’s totally worth it.
Vege Threads is my other go to. I’ve rotating my hemp singlets throughout this week in isolation. I wear a good mix of VT for yoga and exercise.
Arnsdorf have a really great selection of ribbed tops. Effortless, comfortable and chic!
Rachel Mills are made in NZ and work on a made to order pre sale basis. I recently got a singlet from there, and the cut is really nice.
[2025 Update! Kow Tow make a very nice selection of t-shirts, which I actually wrote about in my first substack article!]
Undies / Swimwear / Socks:
Again, Rachel Mills . I’ve been slowly replenishing my knicker drawer, and bought a new bra and some undies from RM. The cuts are unique, but super comfortable. Late last year they also released a line of swimwear.
Nu Swim – Yes, they are expensive but the cuts, and fit is really good, you’ll be excited to reach for them every summer. You can also try on at Shifting Worlds.
