Their great quality, sustainable craftsmanship, and classic designs will result in an excellent cost-per-wear ratio that allows you to wear every piece again and again. You’ll be helping the environment while giving yourself peace of mind and cultivating your unique personal style. 

So, are you ready to build your own capsule collection? Here are the styles that will make excellent foundation pieces season after season.

The Best Pieces To Include In Your Capsule Wardrobe

A Trench Coat

• With their perfect combination of sophistication and practicality, trench coats are one of the most versatile types of outerwear. The lightweight fabric makes them an ideal transitional layer, while the streamlined silhouette adds an instant air of elegance to your outfit. Trench coats can be layered on top of athleisure looks, paired with jeans and a t-shirt, or with evening dresses and heels. Invest in a trench with a neutral colour that will pair well with anything!

A Shirt Dress

• A pointed collar, button-down detailing, and a relaxed silhouette are perfect features for a day dress. The shirt dress is ideal for work, holidays, or off-duty outfits; dress it down with sneakers or sandals, or add heels for an effortlessly chic brunch look.

• Every woman needs a great white button-down shirt in her life. This chic style adds a smart feel to any outfit, whether the shirt is styled with denim and sneakers, a pencil skirt and heels, or tailored trousers and loafers. A white button-down looks fantastic from the beach to the boardroom, making it a no-brainer for any capsule collection.
