Our new favorite fashion trend for 2016 I the capsule wardrobe! Tired of digging through piles and piles of clothes and still having nothing to wear? Sick of doing laundry for days? Then maybe it’s time to invest in your own capsule wardrobe! A capsule wardrobe is all about having a solid foundation in your wardrobe with a few basic items that can be worn year-round or all season and paired with just about anything else in your closet. Here’s a guide to ten capsule wardrobe essentials to get you started!<\/p>\n
1. Tank You Very Much:<\/strong> Pair a tank with a pair of jeans, a jacket, under a semi-see-through shirt, etc. No closet is complete without at least one black, white, and gray tank!<\/p>\n 2. You’re Beau-Tee-Ful:<\/strong> A simple t-shirt is probably the most versatile piece you can have in your wardrobe. Find your perfect neck—whether V-neck, scoop, or crew—and have a selection of a few solid or simply-designed (think stripes, polka dots, etc.) tees ready to go! We recommend at least one black, one white, and one blue t-shirt to get started.<\/p>\n 3. Button Down the Hatches:<\/strong> Another versatile option, make sure you go with colors and patterns that blend well when layered or on their own. A button down shirt or blouse looks great with a suit, casual slacks, or paired with jeans!<\/p>\n 4. Cardi, Yo:<\/strong> A nice solid cardigan (go for black, tan\/cream, or white if you’re daring) pairs just as well as a button down shirt. It’s nice for layering for a winter day, autumn walk, spring outing, or summer night!<\/p>\n 5. A Blaze(r) of Glory:<\/strong> A blazer instantly makes any outfit look put together. Again, go with simple colors (blue, black, tan) … but don’t forget the more fun colors to give your outfit some sizzle!<\/p>\n 6. Be a Slack-er:<\/strong> Finding the perfect pair of dress or casual slacks isn’t always easy. You have to make sure you find the right length and fit to make sure your comfortable and stylish all day long. No wardrobe is complete without at least one black, one khaki\/tan, and one blue pair of well-fitted slacks.<\/p>\n 7. It’s All in the Jeans:<\/strong> For a night out of a slick smart casual look, you’ve got to have the perfect pair of jeans. Avoid too many colored jeans; stick with the tried and true blue. At least one good pair of boot-cut and one straight-legged pair should do you to start.<\/p>\n 8. Sweater Weather:<\/strong> Aim for lightweight sweaters … These are perfect for layering over a shirt and under a coat in winter. They’re also great alternatives to jackets for a chilly summer night. Remember, find the neckline that works for you, and have a few options both plain and patterned that work with as many looks as possible!<\/p>\n 9. If the Shoe Fits:<\/strong> You’ve got to wear ‘em, so make sure you wear ‘em well! Shoes can make or break your outfit. You’ll want at least one pair of sneakers, one pair of dress shoes, one pair of sandals, and probably one pair of boots. And don’t feel like you have to restrict yourself to solid designs … a nice patterned pair of dress shoes can add a little flash to an otherwise plain outfit!<\/p>\n 10. Eye on the Prize? Accessorize!:<\/strong> With what you’ll save on clothes with a capsule wardrobe, you can usually afford to go all out on accessories. Fellas, snag a nice selection of solid and patterned ties. Ladies, look at a nice selection of necklaces and jewelry. Scarves are a great way to dress up an otherwise simple outfit, as are purses, glasses, watches, hats, pins, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our new favorite fashion trend for 2016 I the capsule wardrobe!
