The wardrobe capsule


Fashion loves change, and the faster the better. But as it moves continuously, there are some things that remain rock constant, wardrobe essentials that seem to transcend time, age and season.

1. The button down shirt
A  favourite almost as much as it is a wardrobe staple, a quality shirt works for every occasion. If you feel white is too starchy and severe, try a very pale pink or cream

2. The jeans
Don't be taken by fads for skinnies or flares: choose a simple, slim-fitting straight-legged pair that will always look good. Remember, soft indigo denim is timeless, but sandblasted is not.

3. The pencil skirt
The pencil skirt's have been around for a very long time – but it's a shape that never goes out of style. Choose one with a bit of stretch so you can sit down in it!

4. The black trousers
Classic black pants that can be dressed up for evening, or down for day wear. Worn with more formal pieces, black trousers are a basic and, dressed down, are a chic alternative to denim.

5. The little black dress
A LBD  is versatile. Wear it to work with a jacket or wear it out in the evening with sparkly jewelry because you can dress it down or dress it up.

6. The black blazer
It is the perfect piece to wear to the office during the week, out to a party on a friday night and strolling on a saturday morning

7. The sundresses
 Steer clear of too short or too tight; you'll go off them as you get older and wider.

8. A classic trench
 A versatile classic for wet weather, warmer winters, cold springs and everything else in between. 

9. A black tote bag 
A stylish large tote bag is perfect for carrying essentials, but try not to pack the kitchen sink. Keep the size and weight of your bag to a realistic minimum.

10. Black pumps 
A good pair of black heels in which you can walk in comfortably can highlight any dress

Building your perfect capsule wardrobe can take time, but will be more than worth it in the end.
