STAPLES TO TRANSFORM YOUR OUTFITS
When you are building your dream capsule wardrobe, these are few pieces that you must have in your arsenal.
Capsule wardrobe varies individually, but these 8 staples are surely going to transform your wardrobe and cut down the decision of ‘what to wear’ process into half!
1. Top with a twist
This padded shoulder t-shirt/top is little bit different from the usual t shirts that we encounter at the high street shops.
Always look for a detail that makes the garment stand out from their counterparts!
In the example that I am talking about these most amazing exaggerated sleeves which make it different from the basic t shirts.
It emphasises the shoulders and looks quite elevated.

3. Relaxed fit Blazer
If you want your outfits to look modern and contemporary i would suggest you to choose an oversized/relaxed fit instead of a fitted blazer. This will give you the option of pairing this blazer with more fitted pieces in your wardrobe.
All fitted outfit feels quite dated and is not a great look in general. So, having a slightly oversized fit can transform your outfit.
You can find great selection of blazers in second had stores or thrift stores, if you know where to look( hint hint: men’s section) looks for colours that will compliment other pieces in wardrobe and your personal style in general. I usually look for colours like grey, black, tan and cream.
4. A Button down shirt
This is an absolute essential all year round. Since, we are back into offices, this will come in handy.
Fabrics like silk and cotton are a great additions to your work wardrobe. They can be styled with jeans , trousers or skirts.

5. Wool Coat/ A trench coat
These are a real wardrobe transformer!
Considering that we are talking about colder months. Invest in a wool or wool blend overcoat for colder months and good quality trench coat for spring and early summer.
Trust me you will not regret the decision.
Trench coat is such a wardrobe staple, it can easily transform your outfits and they are quite versatile.
6. Relaxed fit Jumper
There is a time and place for an oversized jumper. My most grabbed piece during spring as its not that cold but still not warm enough, so an oversized jumper works well. Style with straight fit jeans for the day time and leather trousers for the evening.
7. Sunglasses
Now choosing a sunglasses can be a task but sunglasses just like your haircut are important as well. As it frames your face so it should SUIT YOUR FACE SHAPE AND CUT. Wait for sales and discounts before investing in sunglasses. Usually, you will find them at great prices during sales.
8. A handbag
Now all the points i have mentioned in this article can vary for different people because it hugely depends on your work life and lifestyle. So, a handbag that is good enough for me and my lifestyle would not be it for you. So, choose a handbag that work out best for you. My usual preference is a good crossbody handbag. But, lately i have been loving bigger totes as well.
