How to build a capsule wardrobe in five pieces
A small, well-chosen wardrobe takes the stress out of getting dressed. Start with five pieces that work together.
A capsule wardrobe is not about owning less for its own sake. It is about owning pieces that all work with each other, so every morning has an easy answer.
Start with the coat
A well-cut camel or grey coat sets the tone for everything underneath. Choose natural fibres and a length that works over both trousers and dresses.
Add knit, shirt, trouser and a boot
One fine-gauge knit, one crisp shirt, one straight trouser and a boot you can walk in all day complete the set. Keep the palette to three colours and everything will pair.
