What do you do?
How do you correct for poor style due to living somewhere where nothing good is available?
I have had some luck with online e-tailers like farfetch and also attempt sewing throughout the year. I do supplement with some brick and mortar store items here.
One of the things I admired when I was in Europe as a student was the abundance of street fashion and personal style. I picked up a mint MaxMara trenchcoat and Gant long cabin coat in Copenhagen and they have hardly shown wear and tear after 18 years. I'll add photos in a comment.
