Having a wardrobe full of timeless and classic items that are both versatile and elegant is a necessity in today’s fast-growing world of fashion. These capsule pieces can be styled and matched to create numerous blends of elegance and functional outfits. Owning specific pieces that suit your taste can help you infuse your personal style and preferences. Capsule pieces help narrow down the choice of outfits faster and easier while still projecting creativity and sophistication. Here are some capsule pieces to add to your wardrobe:
CLOTHES
#1 Denim
Denim is a must-have in a capsule collection. They are certainly an indisputable lot, wearable with a lot of other capsule items. You can even wear a complete outfit of denim clothes. Denims are versatile, and they allow you to create countless outfits from your capsule wardrobe. Denim jeans, skirts, jackets, and dresses are inexhaustible capsule wardrobe essentials.
#2 Tank Tops
They may sound basic, but they are pretty important. Tan tops are great for warm days. You can combine them with all your bottoms, depending on your style. Tank tops also work well as innerwear for your shirts, jackets, and kimonos. If you plan to take off a jacket later in the day, it’s easier when you have a tank top waiting underneath.
#3 Crop top
These 20th-century delights are here to stay, and we love them. They are unisex, and they come in different forms like shirts, t-shirts, wrap tops, bracelets, and more recently, corsets. Crop tops will elevate your style and accentuate your shape and body. Whether high-waisted or low-waisted, crop tops blend well with the right bottoms.
#4 Dresses
When in doubt, wear a dress. Capsule wardrobe dresses should be simple and easy to style. With dresses, you don’t have to worry so much about putting pieces together. We don’t want smoke coming out of our heads, do we? Throw a dress on, and you’re good to go for the day. Dresses with multi-event versatility are wise choices, preferably in a neutral colour that can be easily styled with available accessories.
#5 Bodysuits
Constantly checking for untucked hems could mess with concentration and self-confidence. Bodysuits make you look effortlessly smart and ready for your day. You can pair your body suits with high-waisted denim trousers, skirts, pant trousers, shorts, and joggers. Give your outfit a facelift with stylish jackets and matching accessories.
#6 Pant trousers
Including pants in your wardrobe is a hack to create a wider range of capsule outfits. You can easily achieve semi-corporate looks with them. You could wear black pants with a long-sleeved bodycon bodysuit and a jacket.
#7 Sweatshirts
You need the sweatshirts for slightly cold days. You can wear sweatshirts with your lounge pants, leggings, joggers, or denim. I love outfits like these best with a pair of sneakers. Have a little fun when choosing your sweatshirts; go for something with cute and witty designs. They are the best conversation starters.
#8 Two-piece
There are plenty of options for two-piece outfits to choose from. The thinking has been done for you; you just have to worry about the accessories. You can create multiple outfits from a two-piece, either by wearing it as a complete set or by pairing it with different tops and bottoms. Either way, you have more wardrobe options.
FOOTWEAR
Just like the outfits, the footwear should be thoughtfully put together by going for timeless and versatile pieces. Quality should be put above quantity. The goal is to keep it simple and fab. Sneakers, sandal heels, flat ballet shoes, and slides will do just fine for this capsule wardrobe. Follow FAB on Instagram.
#1 BAGS AND ACCESSORIES
Crossbody bags, totes and side purses, scarfs, hats, sunglasses, and simple pieces of jewellery all function and contribute to giving you a standard capsule wardrobe and intentional style. It never gets boring with accessories. Where the outfits lack, the accessories pitch in to fit the look for the occasion you need it for.
#2 COLOUR TIP
When putting together your capsule wardrobe, it is important to have a colour guide or theme in mind. Ending up with different colours that don’t blend well together doesn’t look cool. That would only defeat the purpose of having a capsule wardrobe. Have your base colours, accent colours, and the range for your print and flowery outfits. The base colours are usually black, blue, and white. You can build your accent colours and pattern textures to fit your taste and style.
With capsule wardrobes, there’s no limit to creativity. Build your preference for quality and long-lasting fashion items. That is a simple step in reducing waste and promoting sustainability in fashion.
