How to create a timeless capsule wardrobe

We often stand in front of the closet and wonder what to wear. For all these moments, there is a solution, and it is called a capsule wardrobe. We are sure that you have come across it more than once and are aware of what it is. However, as your fashion advisor, we are obliged to select the most key models from the brands we offer, keeping in mind the fact that even though it is a capsule, the wardrobe changes as well as trends. The good thing is that the trends are not too flashy and can last longer in your wardrobe.

Long coat ot trench

From the foggy and rainy days of daily life in London in the 1970s to the fast pace of 2023, the idea of the capsule wardrobe is getting more and more popular. Clearing out excess clothing and making room for timeless classics is not only fashionable, but also practical.

The must-have items in the capsule wardrobe are the coats. They are our best friend in the cold weather and are easily combined with dresses, skirts, or pants. To adhere to the "less is more" philosophy, get a simple model in black, beige, or ecru.

If you prefer darker colors, pick the double-breasted coat with a classic lapel by the luxury brand Trussardi. You will look like a business queen every day when you’re wearing it.

Do you want to combine the comfort required for daily tasks with the elegance that comes with cool evenings? The perfect choice for you, then, is the coat by Trussardi with a bold fitted shape.

On the other hand Karl Lagerfeld offers a 3 pieces trenchcoat - one long trench, a vest without sleeves and one shorten jacket. What do you think about this multifunctional trenchcoat?

Buying the right coat is of great importance for the capsule wardrobe, so choose wisely a quality model whose embrace will warm you for a long time.


Classic black boots

It’s almost unnatural to not have long black boots in your wardrobe, no matter if it's a capsule one or not. Just think how many outfits you can combine them with.

This season, the trend we've seen is a rougher sole and calf flare. Of course, if you choose to wear boots in the lighter range, like nude, you won't make a mistake. We have always loved bright outfits during the winter. The only downside to the lighter models is that if you don't have a car, you'll have to clean them much more often in bad weather.

Wide legs denim

After the pandemic and, to a small extent, our liberation from excessive vanity, a new era for jeans is coming. We can say "goodbye" to skinny and slim models. We're not telling you shouldn't wear them at all. Of course, the main rule for us when choosing clothes is that they should suit our body structure. If high-waisted and skinny styles are your thing, we don't want to make you feel uncomfortable by choosing wide-leg models just because they're trendy.

Returning to the wide legs, we can say that they hide great charm and freedom. You can pick a high-waist model like those by Trussardi and Liu Jo’s jeans. However, we’re sure that baggy models provide comfort and a very casual urban style that is in high demand among fashion influencers in New York.

Chasmere sweater

From the exotic Asian lands to the showcases of luxury brands, cashmere is a preferred material for making high-quality clothes. Extracted from the fur of the goat breed of the same name, it is a rare and difficult to obtain raw material, referred to in the fashion industry as "soft gold".

Cashmere is synonymous with luxury, elegance and warmth, and having clothes made from it is a sign of good taste. What better addition to your capsule wardrobe than a cashmere sweater? If it is difficult for you to choose one, we're here to help.

The pale pink model of the premium brand Polo Ralph Lauren with interlaced details, combined with tailored trousers, is a stylish suggestion for a casual outfit. If you prefer classic clothes and colours, bet on a sweater with an accented logo detail by Trussardi in black or ecru color. For the days when winter leaves cold sighs on your office window, it is best to combine it with a jacket or blazer for a comfortable and elegant look.

Timeless shoulder bags

Behind every successful woman is a bag in which she hides all her secrets, and we are here to help you find yours. Classic shoulder models are the best choice for several reasons —they're comfortable, compact, and we're unlikely to stop seeing them in the photos of the world's fashion influencers anytime soon. Pick a bag in brown or beige to add some warm colors to your wardrobe.

Michael Kors offers an small and compact hobo bag in white color, but if you prefer a more casual style, bet on the Steve Madden hobo bag with logo print. It fits perfectly into the concept of the capsule wardrobe, and you will fit the most important items that you use in your everyday life in it.

When it comes to classic bag models, you can't go wrong, so go for the one that best suits your style.

Little Black Dress

October 1926. A piece of clothing appears on the cover of Vogue which changes the world of fashion forever. Immortalized by fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Hurley and Princess Diana, Coco Chanel's little black dress became a symbol of femininity and remains a benchmark of elegance and style over the years.

That's why it's one of the most important items to have in your capsule wardrobe. For casual chic, opt for The Kooples mini dress with a sheer back, which you can combine with high boots. And why don’t you turn heads in the office with Superdry's knitted model with a cropped accent?

If you have a fancy dinner coming up, and you want to shine, the Polo Ralph Lauren maxi dress in delicate satin with lace accents is the perfect choice for you.

Trust the classics and choose the model according to your taste and body structure to feel comfortable and emphasize your beauty with the iconic little black dress.

New Balance sneakers

Have you ever wondered why New Balance is so popular and trendy? They entered the fashion scene in the 1960s. These sneakers are extremely simple and aesthetic, and that is the reason they would be hard to forget.

The sneakers are the bridge between luxury clothes and street style, and their clean look almost does not allow them to disappear among so many fashion trends over the years.

It is no coincidence that fashion designers from Copenhagen choose them for their outfits, as they have a simple look, design and functionality – characteristics typical of the Scandinavian style and sense of beauty.

Oversized white shirt

The white shirt is one of the key elements of any wardrobe. It has become an etiquette for office wear. However, we are far from the idea that a white shirt can only be used in the office. This season, we're seeing it transform into a wider fit with longer sleeves and a very masculine look.

Pair a white silk shirt by Polo Ralph Lauren with wide-leg jeans or tailored trousers (see below). You will definitely create a casual yet luxurious look that clearly states who you are with its simplicity.

Tailored trousers

Ever since tailored trousers took over the streets of New York during Fashion Week last year and Kendall Jenner started incorporating them into her everyday outfits, they've become the sleek, clean-cut chic that our wardrobes need.

To stay current with fashion trends and to feel light and free, a great option for you are the luxury brand Polo Ralph Lauren's tweed pants. The combination of delicate linen, wool, and silk makes the pants ideal for city walks They are a comfortable choice for an office look, too.

If you are looking for a refined style, bet on the simple trousers by Desigual. The elegant model will keep you feminine, and its loose fit will hide all the little imperfections. In combination with a black bag, an oversized sweater, and heeled boots, you will be irresistible on any date you go on.

This type of pants is ideal for your capsule wardrobe, with which you will be ready for any challenge that your daily life throws at you.
