NAMSHI CAPSULE COLLECTION

Get clear on what matters by getting rid of everything that doesn't..

Simply put, a capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don’t go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces.

When I was younger, I was definitely more into trends but as the years went by and my personal style developed, I learned what worked for me and my life, what pieces lasted longer in terms of style and which pieces made sense to invest in. It definitely made my life so much easier and dressing up a lot more fun.

I believe we all need a great capsule collection in our wardrobe and so I partnered with Namshi.com to create the 20-pieces capsule collection, featuring key pieces that are essential in any wardrobe.

The little black dress
The wrap dress or shirt dress
The black trousers
The casual square pants
A good pair of denim jeans
The skirt
The basic white or black tshirt
The silk blouse
The blazer
The long coat or cardigan
A good knitwear
The turtleneck
The coordinated set
Heels or mules
Sneakers
Boots
An all-around bag

Hat

These are my essentials. And with just these 20 pieces, I was able to create a good number of looks – 35 different variations in fact. Mixed and match, perfect for the office, errand days, weekends, date nights and anything else in between.
