A capsule wardrobe is a small set of pieces that all work together. Start by choosing a palette of three colours and buy only what fits it.
Start with the basics
Invest in a well-cut jacket, a pair of dark trousers, two plain tees and one pair of versatile sneakers. Quality beats quantity every time.
Add, do not replace
Introduce one new item each season. Check it pairs with at least three things you already own before you buy.
