Capsule wardrobe pieces

Start with what you own. Explore each piece before searching at a retailer.

Trench coat

An outer layer that connects several outfits. Compare its color beside the tops and shoes you already repeat.

A structured layer can repeat a capsule neutral or introduce a controlled accent. Compare the whole outfit, not only the hanger.

Use a blouse near the face to compare a lighter neutral with a more expressive capsule color. Surface shine changes how a shade appears.

A repeatable trouser color can anchor several tops. Compare the actual fabric with the jackets and shoes you plan to use.

A knit can carry an accent color while the rest of the outfit stays simple. Compare texture and color together.

A dress is one way to use a larger area of capsule color. Consider the occasions and layers that make it useful to you.

A cardigan offers a softer layer for repeating a palette color. Compare it open and fastened over more than one outfit.

Boot color can connect trousers, outerwear and accessories. Compare the real finish beside the pieces you wear most.

A tote is a practical place to repeat a neutral or accent color. Judge the color alongside its capacity and everyday use.

Compare wash, depth and contrast as well as the basic blue color. An existing pair may already serve the capsule well.
