Don’t get me wrong, I loveeee having trendy pieces in my closet. After wearing them one or two times, they are left to collect dust. The clothes I reach for time after time are my staples that can be mixed and matched with other things in my closet! To be more sustainable and actually get the use out of what I buy, I’ve shifted to building my Capsule Wardrobe.

What is a capsule wardrobe, you ask?

A capsule wardrobe is where you collect classic and interchangeable clothing pieces that go well together. It’s meant to be a curated collection of clothes that make you feel the most comfortable and reflect your true style!

These clothes are meant to be worn more often, so I tend to buy quality pieces that will hold up over time. Then when I throw in the trendy pieces, they aren’t as boujee. My favorite part about capsule wardrobes is that there are SO MANY outfits….. like limitless. You can pair most items with each other to make hundreds of different outfits that all mesh well and are suuuuuper cute together.

Everything you need for your capsule wardrobe:

• 3 neutral bodysuits – Black, white, and tan options

• 2 neutral button ups – I prefer a crispy white button down but black is a great option too!

• 3 staple jeans – light, dark, and black wash. I try and opt for hole-less jeans that way they are more wearable year round and in any situation. You can never go wrong with Levi’s Ribcage, but if you’re wanting to splurge Mother is another great go-to!

• 1 staple pair of leggings – my personal faves are lululemon because they wear so well and last very long, but linking other favorite options as well!

• 1 staple silk skirt – can be worn year round dressy or casual! My favorite is the Anine Bing silk skirt that I own but linking other affordable options as well.

• 1 basic coat – a staple trench or classic wool coat is as timeless as can be!

• 1 basic cardigan – a neutral or black option is best!

• 1 staple blazer

• 1 essential vest – to take you through the transitional months!

• 1 white pair of sneakers – AllSaints has the best options!

• 1 fun sneaker – love a chrome moment or a splash of color!

• 1 neutral heel

• 1 neutral mule or flat

• 2 staple booties – one light and dark option
