Having a capsule wardrobe is vital if you’re one of those people who struggle with creating outfits. It’s also important if you want to have a defined style, but you don’t know where to begin. So, if you’re looking for the right inspiration to start building your winter capsule wardrobe, you’re in the right place!
Where to start creating your winter capsule wardrobe?
Let’s start from the beginning: what’s a capsule wardrobe? It’s an optimised wardrobe composed by only a few basics that match perfectly between each other and can create infinite outfit combinations for every occasion. Seems like a dream, right?
It’s true, it’s not so easy to build the perfect wardrobe, but our Personal Shoppers are here to help! Start by understanding what you like and what fits you best: the fits, the colours, and the style. Then look for all the basics that reflect all your tastes. You’ll have the perfect closet where all the clothing matches together, and you won’t have to think about creating outfits any more. Let’s see some examples of good basics to have to start building your winter wardrobe.
Tops and jumpers
- Crew neck jumper:
A must-have for winter and for the lower temperatures. You can choose the fit, colour and material you like most, and you’ll use it with everything: with denim for a casual/sporty look, with elegant trousers for work or with a skirt for a night out.
Great for the ones who suffer cold temperatures the most. As the crew neck jumper, it is a super versatile item that will help you create outfits from daytime to night.
As you may have noticed, there is always a white shirt in our capsule wardrobes. This winter, wear it under your jumpers to create layered looks, ideal for the office.
Trousers and jeans
- Skinny jeans
The best way to keep you warm in winter is to wear tight jeans and a warm jumper. This can be your uniform for every occasion of the day, and you can’t go wrong with them.
If you’re looking for an alternative to denim, this is the right item for you. Especially suited for office or formal looks, they can be used in a casual outfit too, with your favourite sneakers and a sweatshirt.
This is an essential for the most adventurous, and it can be the right alternative for night out outfits. Match them with an oversized jumper and ankle boots.
Shoe wear
These are going to be the best investment you’ll ever do because it’s a timeless shoe that will never go out of style. Plus, you can wear them with denim or pants, but also skirts and dresses.
This is a trendier option that has been a fad for some years now. Does it mean they’re going to become part of our basics? Maybe. Meanwhile, you can buy a pair and match them with maxi skirts and dresses.
A seasonless item perfect to complete your looks with a casual touch. Be careful with the material: if in spring / summer we choose canvas or lighter fabrics, now you have to make sure the sneakers will keep your feet warm and be waterproof in order to face every weather condition.
Coats and outerwear
- Wool Coat
This is definitely a must-have for your winter looks because it can adapt to both formal and casual outfits. The super long ones are perfect to enhance the silhouette and make you look taller.
This is the perfect alternative if you want a sportier option or for your most frenetic days. Choose a bold colour to spice up the basic outfits and match scarves and beanies for a trendy touch.
We at Lookiero love blazers, and we think that they are a super versatile item that can be matched with everything, which makes them perfect for winter’s layered looks. You can wear it with a turtleneck or a heavy jumper and your coat on top, you’ll be trendy for every occasion.
Skirts and dresses
.
- Leather skirt:
the best way to face winter could be to uncover your legs! Say yes to mini skirts, especially the leather ones. Match them with a warm jumper, thighs with some details and ankle boots for a super feminine and trendy look.
Wearing your maxi skirts with a jumper is the best way to combine femininity with a practical touch. With this combination, you can go from the office to a happy hour and always feel comfortable.
If you want to wear dresses even in winter, the best option is to choose the wool ones. Perfect with ankle or high-knee boots, and ideal for every situation, from the daytime in the office to nighttime and parties. It’s definitely something you want to have for the festive season!
