The Importance of Capsule Wardrobe Basics

If you are one of those women who seem to have a stuffed wardrobe but can't easily create outfits, it could be that you don't have versatile wardrobe staples.  We often buy one off pieces or colours that don't go with anything else and either they get worn once or not at all.

The solution?  A capsule wardrobe of basics.

Don't be mistaken in thinking these are boring items, they don't have to be if they work with your personal style. What they will do though, is add the start point or the finishing touch to multiple outfits. They include the shoes that go with everything whatever the style or colour, the jackets that are the perfect topper to an outfit, the trousers that dress up or down.

You may have seen lists of wardrobe basics before. They often say you need a pair of black tailored trousers and a white shirt, a pair of black court shoes and so on. But this doesn't give you room to incorporate your colouring, shape or personal style - like much styling advice it's too restrictive and caters to one "type' only. If you know me, you know this isn't they way I work with clients. I see the individual and show you how to be you, not a "Spring, pear shaped classic"! If you want to be put in labelled boxes I'm not the stylist for you :)

So what is my solution? A capsule wardrobe of basics that work for you. I've created a FREE ebook that gives you suggestions for these "magic" pieces that you can tailor to work for you.

I talk you through why I've chosen each piece so that you can decide if it's something that will work for you. Plus I give you colour suggestions and a checklist you can complete with your version of the capsule. With just these Capsule wardrobe Basics I have also created 35 sample outfit ideas so you can see just how versatile this capsule is. Once you start to add in what you already have in your wardrobe the outfit options become endless.
