The reasoning

Why each piece is here

  • sundress in white

    A summer capsule's easiest outfit in one piece.

    Look for: Breathable cotton, linen or voile.

  • sneakers in black

    The most-worn shoe in a casual capsule.

    Look for: Plain leather uppers without big logos look smartest.

  • shirt dress in khaki

    One of the most versatile dresses for a work capsule.

    Look for: Cotton poplin, denim or crepe.

  • sandals in tan

    Summer capsule only.

    Look for: Leather straps that don't cut in.

  • leather jacket in dark brown

    A capsule's statement layer that still works with everything.

    Look for: Real leather softens and moulds; lambskin is soft, cowhide tougher.

  • denim jacket in denim blue

    The go-to casual layer for spring and autumn.

    Look for: Mid or dark wash is the most versatile.

  • tank top in cream and grey

    A summer layering piece; keeps a capsule light in hot months.

    Look for: Ribbed cotton or modal that doesn't lose its shape.

  • leggings in navy and olive

    For an activewear or travel capsule; in an everyday capsule jeans do the job better.

    Look for: Opaque fabric that doesn't go see-through when you bend.

  • mini skirt in beige

    A casual capsule accent; the midi covers more occasions.

    Look for: A-line and straight shapes in denim, suede or wool are the most wearable.

  • cardigan in camel

    Adds a layer to a capsule without the formality of a blazer.

    Look for: Fine merino for layering, chunky wool for a relaxed look.

  • t-shirt in white and black

    The most-repeated piece in any capsule: two or three in neutrals carry dozens of outfits.

    Look for: Heavier cotton (around 180–220 gsm) drapes better and doesn't show everything underneath.
