Capsule wardrobes are quite the boon to all the fashion enthusiasts who value sustainability and mindfulness when it comes to consumerism. While what you buy can be anywhere between designer to thrift, the possibilities are limitless. A capsule wardrobe is one where you collect pieces that can be mixed and matched to form numerous outfits, all different to one another. You have to keep in mind that while building a wardrobe, you have to keep in mind the color, fabric and fit of the apparel to ensure it is versatile. 

Though the pieces may differ, here are a few pieces that I think everybody should own in their capsule wardrobe. It is growing increasingly cold in Bangalore as the winter is upon us, so is the weather in most parts of the world. 

What’s your Palette for the Capsule Wardrobe?

To build a capsule wardrobe, you have to start by deciding upon a color palette. Do you want to build it around warm tones like browns, reds and rust? Or do you want to keep it cool with olives, blues and greys? Whatever your preference is, decide upon a color palette so that you can ensure the possibility of mix and match when you go shopping.

I suggest opting for the neutral shades of black, grey, olives and your basic blue denims for your bottoms and jackets.

Winter fashion color palette: bottoms

Your tops can be a combination of basics and accent colors like rust (warm) or wine (cool) colors.

Wine cool color tones for capsule wardrobe

2. Prints + Textures in your Capsule Wardrobe

Now that you have your tones in place, decide based upon your body type the kind of fabric and textures to choose for the coming winter. Use black for thinning, vertical stripes for elongating and lace to add a feminine touch. You can go for fabrics like velvet, leather and linen while designs like sequinned, striped or knitted to embrace the winter season fully!

Fabric type: sequins, leather and lace for winter fashion capsule wardrobe.
Fabric textures: linen, velvet and wool for winter fashion
