When I became a mother two years ago, something shifted.
Suddenly, my clothes didn’t fit anymore — and not just my body. My life had changed.
The trousers I used to wear to the office were too long because I no longer lived in high heels. My blazers felt too stiff. I had plenty of clothes, yet nothing felt quite right. What I was missing were elevated basics — pieces that felt comfortable, practical, and still made me feel like me.
I wanted to feel put together without overthinking it. I wanted clothes that worked for my everyday life.
That’s why I fell in love with the idea of a capsule wardrobe — and why I want to help you build one that truly works 🤍
What Is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a carefully selected collection of clothes that:
- Work together
- Fit your lifestyle
- Can be mixed and matched effortlessly
It’s not about having less for the sake of it — it’s about having the right pieces. Pieces you actually wear. Pieces that make getting dressed easier, calmer, and more intentional.
Especially when life is full (work, family, everyday responsibilities), your wardrobe should support you — not stress you.
Why a Capsule Wardrobe Is So Powerful
- You save time getting dressed
- You feel more confident in your outfits
- You shop more intentionally
- You stop feeling like you have “nothing to wear”
Most importantly: Your clothes start to reflect the life you’re living now — not the life you had before.
Building Blocks of a Functional Capsule Wardrobe
Below are the core categories I recommend focusing on when building a capsule wardrobe that feels both practical and elevated.
Tops
These are the foundation of everyday outfits:
- T-shirts (neutral and well-fitted)
- Tank tops
- Long-sleeved tops
- Wool sweaters
- Cardigans
- Quality knitwear
- Blazers
- Overshirts or lightweight indoor jackets
Bottoms
Choose silhouettes that fit your body and your lifestyle:
- Jeans (different styles):
- Baggy / boyfriend
- Straight-leg
- Tailored trousers that fit well
- Loungewear trousers
- Leggings
Shoes
Comfort matters — but style still counts:
- Sneakers
- Loafers
- Boots
- Ballet flats
- Rubber boots (yes, they can be chic)
Outerwear
These pieces define your look for a large part of the year:
- Wool coat
- Short down jacket
- Long down jacket
- Leather jacket
- Trench coat
Accessories
Small details that make a big difference:
- Belts
- Jewelry
- Scarves
- Beanie / hat
- Gloves
A Final Thought
A capsule wardrobe isn’t about rules or perfection.
It’s about creating a wardrobe that supports you — one that feels good to wear, easy to use, and aligned with your everyday life.
If you’re ready to build a wardrobe that actually works, you’re in the right place.
A capsule wardrobe is a journey — not a checklist.
In the coming posts, I’ll guide you through each category step by step, starting with the pieces that matter most for everyday life.
If you want a wardrobe that feels calm, intentional, and easy to use, this is where it begins.
