The idea behind a capsule wardrobe has been around since the 70’s, the focus is to have a smaller amount of diverse items which you can put together into a multitude of outfits. Invest in key, versatile, high quality pieces that you love, and that transcend trends and seasons and will leave you ready to take on the world.
Mastering the art of a capsule wardrobe is also a great step into more conscious consumption. By investing in key items, you will be less influenced by fleeting trends and more led by timeless pieces that are made to last; this is a step in the right direction at reducing fast fashion and throwaway culture. Our Classiques collection was designed with timeless fashion in mind.
What items should be in my capsule wardrobe?
Less is more when it comes to a capsule wardrobe, you need to whittle your wardrobe down to a group of items that you can interchange into a variety of classic combinations.
The key items to include are silk shirt, smart trousers, tailored trousers, statement skirts and neutral knitwear.
