How to Build a Timeless Capsule Wardrobe with Neutral Staples

If you’ve ever stood in front of your wardrobe thinking, I have nothing to wear, you’re not alone. The secret to effortless style isn’t having more clothes, it’s having the right clothes! The phrase ‘capsule wardrobe’ has been chucked around a lot over the last few years, and we are big fans of making your wardrobe staples work for you! The perfect capsule wardrobe is usually built around neutral staples, making getting dressed easy, stylish, and stress-free. By sticking to versatile, high-quality pieces in timeless colours, you’ll always have something to wear, no matter the occasion.

1. Start with a Neutral Colour Palette

The best capsule wardrobes start with a foundation of neutral tones. Think bone, beige, white, grey, and black. These colours are easy to mix and match, making your wardrobe feel effortless and put together.

Quality Over Quantity:

A capsule wardrobe isn’t about owning less, it’s about owning better. Instead of constantly buying new trends, focus on high-quality fabrics like cotton, wool, and linen that look and feel great, wash after wash. Our well-made bone tracksuit, for example, will last you years and always look effortlessly put together as it is made with 100% Cotton.

So, if we were starting our wardrobe from scratch, these are the items we would invest in:

A Bone-Coloured Tracksuit

Cosy, stylish, and perfect for dressing up or down. This two-piece is a fantastic wardrobe staple, it’s light shade transitions seamlessly into the warmer months and compliments most neutrals due to it’s off-white hue. The cropped hoody also makes for a flattering alternative to an oversized sweater and therefore elevates your casual looks easily and pairs with your high waisted bottoms beautifully.

A Classic Tee

A layering essential you’ll reach for daily. Our fitted t-shirts are a customer favourite! Perfect under blazers, bomber jackets, or styled solo. Made with multiway stretch fabric, they spring back into shape after every wash. When building a capsule wardrobe, durable materials are key and these tees are no exception.

The Vest Top

It’s easy to see why a vest top is a wardrobe staple, perfect for layering, works well under shirts or worn alone in the warmer months. It can be paired casually with tracksuit bottoms and white trainers and then dressed up by being tucked into belted denim jeans and layered gold jewellery.

Why Neutrals Are the Ultimate Style Hack:

A neutral capsule wardrobe isn’t boring, it’s smart! When every piece works together, getting dressed becomes effortless. Whether you’re heading to brunch, travelling, or just running errands, you’ll always have something stylish to wear without overthinking it.
So if you’re looking to simplify your wardrobe while still looking chic, start with neutral staples, because sometimes, less really is more.
