Never know what to wear? Stuck between that pity-buy scarf top and the bold piece you bought on a whim hoping to ‘reinvent’ your style? Those days are over. Enter the Capsule Wardrobe - your shortcut to effortless outfits that say, “I’ve got my life together”.
What is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is your closet’s highlight reel - a collection of versatile, timeless pieces that mix and match so you have endless outfit combos. Clothes are an investment and for that, you cannot rush the process! You need to have patience, know your body shape and get a grasp of your personal style. Here are our 3 easy steps to make sure you always have something to wear.
Step 1: Colour Palette
Colour is key! The right palette means more outfits with fewer pieces. If you’re stuck, start with neutrals for your base and add 2-3 accent colours. This way, everything blends nicely together.

Step 2: The Staples
Every capsule wardrobe needs its core pieces - these are your closet MVPs!
The White T-Shirt
The ole’ reliable! A crisp, white tee is an absolute essential - layer it under a sweatshirt or blazer, pair it with jeans and dress it up or down. Its endless versatility makes it a timeless staple piece for any wardrobe.
Denim Jeans
The backbone of any capsule wardrobe, it’s the ultimate all-rounder - casual, classic and again… timeless! Invest in a great pair, a proper fit is just mwuah (chef kiss).
Sweater/Jumper
Chunky or sleek, it doesn’t matter - what matters, is that it is a layering essential! Prioritise comfort above all else, no one likes a scratchy jumper. Opt for luxe-feeling materials like cashmere or mohair!
Tailored Pants
You should feel put together the moment you slip them on. They polish off any look - whether you’re in office or pair with sneakers for a model off-duty look. A practical pair that lasts throughout all the seasons year-round is ideal.
Step 3: Accessorise
Keeping your capsule wardrobe simple means there is more room for your personality to shine through accessories! Bold jewellery, statement bags and playful extras let your personality take the stage. It’s the details that make an outfit!
No more “I have nothing to wear” moments. There are endless perks to building a capsule wardrobe - easy packing, effortless styling and investing in pieces that defy cost per wear!
