The versatile style essentials you’ll forever feel good in
A capsule wardrobe is a tight edit of timeless staples that, you guessed it, won’t ever date. It’s a personal selection of eternally fashionable pieces that you’ll love for a lifetime; and which require only simple seasonal adjustments. This considered approach not only makes day-to-day dressing easy, but choosing long-lasting, quality pieces is also better for the planet too. How to start building your capsule wardrobe? First, look at what you already have, and then start thinking about what essential pieces are missing. Here’s how to get set up for spring.
Down to a tee
The white T-shirt is a true wardrobe workhorse: the most dependable of essentials, thanks to its endless styling potential. Opt for a classic silhouette made from breathable cotton – beautifully light, durable and versatile.
Elevated denim
The beating heart of laid-back style, denim also has the capacity to look smart and chic. Jeans and a denim jacket are versatile essentials. Choose from styles of the season or timeless cuts by made-to-last brands, such as Levi’s, Frame or Paige.
Forever blazer
No wardrobe is complete without a blazer; throw one over your white T-shirt and jeans to make your look feel instantly stylish and considered. For maximum wearability, look for longer-line styles in thicker fabrics.
Tailored trousers
It really does pay to invest in expertly tailored trousers. Great for both business and pleasure, choose a dark tone that’s easy to style with other items – whether that’s dressy flats for the office or white trainers for weekending.
Timeless tote
Do-it-all tote bags are the perfect day-to-night companion. Roomy yet refined, they’re practical and accommodating for everyday (as they can hold everything you could possibly need). Go for colour-pop or logo-free to suit your personality.
Trusty trench
Perfect for elevating spring outfits, the classic trench coat can be layered up and down – depending on the weather – making it the perfect transitional piece. A tried-and-true fashion staple that you’ll wear time and again.
Best boots
Whatever your age or style, ankle boots are the ultimate sweet spot for fashion-meets-comfort footwear. A low block heel is built to be worn all day, and looks great with tights or bare legs. A chunkier sole gives a more contemporary edge.
