A capsule wardrobe is simply a small collection of clothes that all work together. The idea is not to own as little as possible but to own pieces you genuinely wear.
Start with the coat
In autumn, your coat is the outfit most people see. A camel, navy or charcoal coat goes with almost everything. Try it on over a thick jumper to check the fit.
Knitwear you love
One or two good jumpers in a neutral shade will be worn again and again. Cable knits and roll-necks both layer well under a coat.
Dark denim and a smart trouser
Dark jeans dress up or down easily. Add one pair of tailored trousers and you have most weekday outfits covered.
Boots and a bag
Leather or suede ankle boots and a simple bag tie everything together. Look after them with regular cleaning and they will last for years.
Finish with colour
A patterned silk scarf or a coloured beanie adds personality to a neutral wardrobe. It is also an easy way to try a new colour without committing to a whole outfit.
This is a general guide, not professional advice. Every salon and every head of hair is different, so talk to a qualified professional about your own needs.
