POV: you're buzzing after a shopping spree, bags full of stunning new clothes! But then you stare into your wardrobe and…blank. How do you even put any of it together?
I used to feel like that all the time! Getting ready for Sixth Form or hanging out with friends always turned into a "I have nothing to wear!" drama. It’s so easy to get caught up in social media trends, but being roped into frivolous spending can waste time and break the bank. Unnecessary in this economy. But fear not! Whether you're male or female, curating a capsule wardrobe, a collection of timeless basic pieces, will make your mornings hassle-free.
Keep scrolling to see how to start you quick and easy capsule wardrobe, and finally stop stressing about outfits!
The Basic White Tee/Tank: A versatile base layer or standalone top. White tanks are great with baggy bottoms!
The Buried-Away Plain White Shirt: Smart-casual perfection with jeans and trainers. You’ll never clock-in late again!
Good Old Blue Jeans: Your trusty, go-with-everything denim, perfect for any season and occasion.
The Effortless Cargos: A fashion game-changer for streetwear or chill looks.
The Lil' Black Dress: My mum once told me that every woman needs black dress in her wardrobe. I understand why. A simple yet fabulous essential that can be refined with jewellery or relaxed with a denim jacket.
The Humble Skirt: Want to feel a bit girly? Skirts are perfect! Finding the right length can be a mission, but they add fun and sweetness to any look, especially with a tank and trainers. Denim skirts are my favourite because they go with everything!
The CBA Jumper/Sweatshirt: That one comfy sweater that can be dressed up with jewellery for a cool street style for days when time and effort aren’t on your side.
The Conclusive Outerwear: A coat or jacket that completes any outfit, adding coordination or a statement piece. So many options to choose from!
The Resourceful Trench Coat: Think of it like the older sibling to the versatile blazer! Dress it down with a white tee and jeans for a cool, casual look. Or, go chic and mysterious in all black with shades and boots – a classic city feel.
The Classic Suit: A go-to for interviews and formal events. Every guy needs one!
The Worn-to-the-Ground White Trainers: The ones we start off religiously cleaning but eventually give up on. Comfy, chic, and they match everything!
The (Fake) Uggs: Affordable suede boots that look great with leggings, jeans, and skirts. Just as good as the named brand.
So you now have your capsule wardrobe ready. Here's how you can put it into practice, plus some few extra items to enhance your outfits.
