The capsule wardrobe is a new and sustainable movement in the fashion world that involves investing in around 10 quality basic pieces. This often includes black pants, a white shirt, blazer, and a skirt. By investing in quality basics, or the capsule, you can then purchase statement pieces to accent the capsule wardrobe and be on trend without constantly needing a whole new outfit. The capsule wardrobe is full of items that make you look and feel good, so make sure they are well fitted and comfortable. These pieces have mileage and will last through different seasons and trends. Here are some of our favourite picks for starting to build your capsule wardrobe!
The Blazer
A substantial blazer will take you far in the office and for daily life. The best part is that it is a layering piece, so you can wear it year-round. With a structured and tailored jacket, you can layer it over a dress, pair with a shirt and pants, or even throw on top of a tee shirt and jeans.
The Checked Blazer is the perfect capsule blazer, as the checks keep it from being boring, but the neutral grey ensures it will go with everything.
Your Go to Pant
Find your perfect pair of pants and never let them go! A flattering black pant is an essential for your capsule wardrobe - they elongate your legs and serve as the perfect base to any bright colours or statements you choose to rock with them.
The Slim Jeggings with Side Waist Band are sleek, comfortable, and easy to wear!
Your New Favourite Skirt
Pencil skirts aren’t just for the office! They are a wardrobe basic, and look great with knotted tee and sneakers, as well as with a shirt and heels for the office.
Our Striped Knitted Skirt is the perfect basic. The monochrome colour means that it pairs well with most other pieces, but the stripes ensure it is still lively and trendy.
A Basic Tee with a Plus
A basic tee is essential for a great capsule wardrobe. Having a tee shirt that you can dress up or down is ideal, as it will be more versatile.
The batwing top is great for this, as it comes in a variety of colours, has a beautiful drape, and its long sleeves will keep you warm all year round. Layer with a scarf or statement necklace, and pair this with a skirt or pants for a great base that can be added to.
