Only wearing 20 per cent of your wardrobe 80 per cent of the time? Maximise your style by creating an updated capsule wardrobe – a collection of contemporary clothes to suit both your work and weekend fashion needs.
HOW TO BUILD A CAPSULE WARDROBE
Stock up on classic modern items that transcend fickle runway trends. Keep your selections simple and unfussy. Remember: minimalist pieces never go out of style.
1 First, choose basics in a neutral colour palette. Khaki, white and navy blue are a foolproof combination. Plus, if you have been living in black for years now, it’s time to try something different.
2 Once you’ve nailed the basics, it’s time to add some investment pieces like a well-cut blazer and figure-flattering dress, which instantly add class to your look.
3 Punch up your look with a few coloured items and a printed piece or two, just so you have some variety.
4 Personalise your look with a few bold accessories.
