“I have nothing to wear,” says every person ever while staring deep into the abyss of their overflowing wardrobe. As unlikely as it seems, choosing the right outfit is much easier when one has limited clothing choices that only includes the essentials which could be worn for any occasion. Say hello to capsule wardrobes–thoughtfully curated pieces that are equally sustainable and stylish (yay for a greener environment). The key to creating a capsule wardrobe is going for classic pieces that will last and complement one another. Quality over quantity, always. Here are ten (10) basic pieces that are a must-have when assembling a capsule wardrobe.
TANK TOP Tank tops are a staple and very comfortable as it goes with seasons. Layer it with a long- sleeve blouse for a refreshing look or wear it as it during too hot summer days. It’s a must for every capsule wardrobe. Fashion has indeed become a booming industry and with so many outfits of every kind and color, it can get pretty confusing. With that said, capsule wardrobes can help maintain a basic yet timeless wardrobe. There’s no right way on creating a capsule wardrobe, as ultimately it is about the pieces that work for each lifestyle.
TROUSERS Sometimes jeans just don’t make the cut for office wear. Always keep a pair of trousers to elevate day-to-day looks whether the category is office or brunch with girlies. STRIPED TOP Striped clothing comes in all shapes and sizes and one thing’s for sure, one can never go wrong with it. Keep a striped top on standby for an everyday casual wear. BLACK SKIRT There are days when pants won’t cut it because it can feel a little restricting, black skirts are definitely the way to go. Plus they make any outfit a little more prim and proper if one’s up for it.
BASIC BLACK BLAZER The perfect smart-casual look to everyday wear. It can be paired with a simple shirt or elevate it with a silk blouse and a pencil skirt for that ready-to- face-anything vibe. LITTLE BLACK DRESS Having a trusty LBD can save a wardrobe catastrophe! Glam it up with some classic accessories for that last- minute cocktail outfit or pair it with a simple denim jacket and white sneakers for a casual and relaxed look. BUTTON DOWN SHIRT The possibilities are endless with a white-button down shirt. One can go from day to night with this simple basic top.
WHITE TEE A must-have essential. White Tees have the knack of being paired to almost any clothing from pants, shorts, skirts, and an undergarment of a basic dress to a blazer. JEANS It can be casual or dressy as they go with almost anything. Whether it is the basic blue denim jeans or the khaki colored ones, they never go out of style. Make sure to choose ones that accentuate the hips and the overall shape of the body. DENIM JACKET Up the basic shirt and pants combo with a denim jacket to instantly give the outfit a little vavavoom.
