You have £1-2K to spend on an ENTIRE new wardrobe…….

I’m hot and bored.
I am also in possession of an appalling collection of worn out, ill fitting junk that passes as my wardrobe.
Having always fantasised about throwing the entire lot out and starting again Trinny and Susannah style (oops showing my age!) I’d love to hear what you’d buy for a very casual, sporty life.
More importantly, where from? Natural fabrics ideally (meno flushes) and decent quality for the cost. High street prices though - I could spend £1-2K max but that would need to cover everything…..so no £100+ jumpers please!

(I spent my lunch hour thinking about this as it's quite a fun idea and only then realised that you want casual and sporty, which this isn't. But posting anyway in case of interest to someone.)

I would get the following, assuming you just want an everyday capsule and don't need to cover every conceivable occasion

2 pairs of smartish trousers- one black, one brown (ME&EM sale- £300 for both)
2 pairs jeans- one wide leg and one straight leg- £200 for both
1 smart jacket/blazer eg https://www.meandem.com/check-sharp-shoulder-blazer-brown-multi £245
5 reasonable quality T shirts, various colours- £100 from eg M&S
Cashmere cardigan that will work with all of the above eg https://www.broraonline.com/uk/cashmere-long-line-cardigan-caramel-wpc8509b4452 £369
Couple of cashmere round necks from eg JL £200 for both
Couple of statement skirts eg https://www.meandem.com/silk-satin-crinkle-maxi-skirt-ultra-red or https://www.toa.st/collections/sale/products/panelled-cotton-linen-poplin-skirt-forest-green that will work with all of the above - £250 for both
