How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe that Works for You
There’s no such thing as a capsule wardrobe to suit all. Instead, you need one that showcases your own sense of style
By: George Elliot
You can put an end to the daily ‘I have no idea what to wear’ struggle if you first learn how to build a capsule wardrobe. A condensed, carefully curated collection of clothes and accessories that offers week-to-weekend wearability, a capsule wardrobe tends to consist of 10 to 20 pieces that can be cleverly mixed and matched for an almost limitless line-up of looks. But don’t be fooled by TikTok; while tradition dictates that capsule wardrobes should be neutral and uniform (essentially the same for one and all), Liberty firmly believes that your capsule wardrobe should reflect your unique style. Here’s how…

The Vintage Charmer
If you’ve got a soft spot for retro fashion trends, be that 70s glam, 90s nostalgia or boho-chic, your capsule wardrobe should reflect exactly that. But to get the most wear out of your flouncy shirts and graphic knits, it’s wise to add in a number of pared-back staples to extend the styling opportunities of your favourite pieces. The more basic building blocks you have, the more outfits you can make, showcasing each of your bolder items. As a rule of thumb, portion off 75% of your capsule to basics (think: jeans, block-coloured trousers and a classic denim jacket) and for the remaining 25%, let your vintage flair run wild.

The Rock ‘n’ Roller
If biker jackets and dark wash jeans are among your style signatures, and if you consider Debbie Harry and Siouxsie Sioux your leather-clad style icons, consider yourself a rock ‘n’ roller in the wardrobe department. Then ensure that your capsule sticks to what you do best: monochromes with attitude. Following this set colour palette will ensure your capsule remains true to you, while encouraging you to be more playful with silhouettes and interesting textures. Once you have your capsule in place, you’ll be able to open your wardrobe doors knowing that everything within it coordinates and as a result, nothing will go unworn.

The Hype-Hunter
The key to making that logo-embossed sweater, barbiecore top or cult collectible piece go the distance is to have a robust capsule wardrobe that transforms seasonal trends into timeless looks. Invest in the foundations of seasonal trends, like a slick black blazer, a crisp white shirt and some 70s-style boot-cut jeans. These smart-casual classics will act like a canvas onto which you can add the odd stroke of on-trend colour. But remember: your capsule needs to remain trim and unfussy for ease of use, so consider storing your capsule and on-trend pieces on separate rails, should you have the space.

The Hot Girl
Often spotted with her hair slicked back and wearing her best athleisure outfit, the Hot Girl is regularly on the move. Otherwise, she can be found taking a well-earned mindfulness break. If this lifestyle sounds familiar, you’ll know that feeling good is just as important as looking good, so create a capsule that keeps comfort, flexibility and style in mind. To do so, cherry-pick some specifics, like a Moncler gilet, some leggings and logomania t-shirts that can all be mixed, matched and layered as you fancy. For extra guidance, always consider the golden ration: every outfit should consist of one printed piece, one block colour and one neutral, so build a capsule wardrobe with a similar ratio too.
