The quick answer
Start with two bottoms, three tops, one relaxed blazer, one knit layer and two pairs of comfortable shoes. Keep the base neutral, then add personality through colour, jewellery and bags.
Build the base around repeatable shapes
A straight trouser, a relaxed wide-leg option and a simple midi skirt give you enough variety without creating a complicated wardrobe. Choose silhouettes you already wear outside work so the capsule still feels natural.
Use tops that work alone and under layers
A fitted tee, soft button-down and fine knit can create multiple combinations. Avoid buying tops that only work with one bra, one jacket or one specific pair of trousers.
Add personality after the outfit works
Once the proportions and comfort are right, add colour through a bag, scarf, earrings or socks. This keeps the capsule flexible while still giving each outfit a clear point of view.
