Here’s how you can mix and match our latest arrivals to create your ideal capsule wardrobe.
The foundation of any capsule wardrobe starts with a few key basics - items that you can mix and match endlessly. Neutral colors like black, white, navy, and beige are essential because they pair well with almost anything and make getting dressed so much easier.
Here’s ideas to look for:
A crisp white button-down is the ultimate versatile piece. Wear it alone, or layer it under sweaters, jackets, and blazers. It works in both professional and casual settings. Pair it with jeans for a laid-back vibe, or tuck it into trousers for a more polished look.

A cozy, neutral-colored sweater (think black, brown, cream, or gray) is the perfect layering piece. Wear it with jeans for a casual weekend look, or tuck it into a skirt for a more sophisticated style.

Pair the tailored trousers or jeans with a simple tee for a relaxed yet polished look.
While a capsule wardrobe is built around simplicity, that doesn’t mean you can’t inject a little personality into your looks. Adding a few statement pieces - whether bold prints, colors, or textures - gives your wardrobe flair without overcomplicating it.
Here’s what we recommend:
A blouse with a floral, stripe, or animal print can add just the right amount of personality to your wardrobe. Pair it with the neutral base items for an effortless, chic look.

Layering is essential for getting the most out of your capsule wardrobe, especially as the weather changes. Versatile layers - like cardigans, blazers, and scarves - will give you more options for mixing and matching.
What to add to your capsule:
A cardigan or blazer is the perfect piece for adding structure and warmth to your outfits. A blazer can be thrown over a tee for an instantly polished look, while a cardigan is ideal for layering over a blouse or dress.
