10 Capsule Wardrobe Pieces for the Modern Woman

A capsule wardrobe isn't about owning less for the sake of it. It's about owning pieces you love that work together, so getting dressed takes five minutes instead of twenty.

The ten essentials

1. A crisp white shirt: tuck it, knot it or wear it open over a dress.
2. A little black midi dress: office with a blazer, dinner with heels.
3. Wide-leg trousers: polished and endlessly comfortable.
4. A co-ord set: wear it together, or split it into two separates.
5. A printed wrap dress: flattering on every body type.
6. A classic kurta set: your go-to for family functions.
7. A tailored jacket: instantly elevates jeans and sarees alike.
8. A soft knit: for winter mornings and chilly offices.
9. A structured bag: one great bag beats five average ones.
10. Statement earrings: the fastest way to change an outfit's mood.

Build around a colour story

Choose two neutrals (say, black and ivory) and two accent colours you love (perhaps plum and teal). Everything will coordinate.
