Creating a capsule wardrobe

If you’re struggling with what to wear everyday it’s probably because you don’t have high quality basics. From my experience I have been prone to jumping on the latest trends and then never reaching for these pieces again. Since creating an Instagram page on fashion inspiration I have realised that it’s not about the pieces you wear that makes a good outfit, it’s about how you style them. 

I know you might be thinking this isn't much to work with but trust me these are some pieces I would class as essential to build your capsule wardrobe. Like anything in life you need a foundation to build upon and this is up to you to chose items that best fits your personality, makes you feel confident and can be easily mixed and matched with a variety of items. 

For me, my capsule wardrobes includes the following items:

Jumpers/ Knitwear 

This is probably one of my go to pieces in my wardrobe. Jumpers/ Knitwear come in so many different styles and fit into a wide array of categories such as layering and outerwear. 

Jeans

Jeans are so versatile and can go a long way when creating looks whether this be for everyday or a night out. Start out with a simple colour of jeans such as blue and then build up to different colours such as black. 

Blazers and Coats 

A staple blazer can pull together an outfit effortlessly and can be worn with many pieces such as leggings, jeans, skirts and joggers. Building layers on an outfit is very important and a blazer and trench coat are a great way to do this. 

Basic Tops 

In my opinion basic tops speak for themself, you simply can't go wrong with them. 

Throughout my blog series I will be styling all of these pieces and will be showing you that they can go a long way !
