Wardrobe Essentials: Building a Capsule Collection

I’m sure you’ve noticed the growing trend of choosing timeless and classy pieces over bold and wild ones. The days of ripped skinny jeans and loud, patterned tops are behind us, with slick-back buns and chic kitten heels taking their place. Influencers like Sophia Richie and Jasmine Tookes are prime examples of these capsule wardrobes filled with simple but versatile pieces— but capsule wardrobes are helpful for everyone, and this list of staple clothing items is a great starting point! Remember, building a capsule wardrobe can take time, especially when searching for the perfect pieces at the right price. I hope you find these suggestions helpful on your journey!
